Latest VC bloggers: Tali Aben (chick number 4) & Tom Shields

May 10, 2006 | Matt Marshall

Tali Aben

Tali Aben writes a blog called Israeli VC on Sand Hill Road.

She’s the fourth female VC blogger we’re aware of. She says she was the first woman partner in an Israeli VC firm, in this case Gemini Israel Funds. Her most recent post is about being stuck without her nanny. Here’s what she’s daring to write about, and so far she has stuck to it:

–Issues facing Israeli startups
–Raising 3 boys (ages 2,8 and 12)
–Professional women
–Digital Photography

Tom Shields of the Woodside Fund has started a blog called Oxyfish, named after his cellphone number (415-OXYFISH). If you’re looking for cash, you know where to find him! Clever marketing, Tom; but get ready for the barrage. Last year, Shields came up with VentureWiki.com.
