Old Investing Addage: “No conflict, no interest”

Folks seem worried about family/friendship ties when that’s not the issue. Syndication and spreading the risk is common and often VC’s bring in funds that have a low “drag coefficient.”

The real issue would be if Sequoia partners somehow excluded their limiteds, via their own fund, to the benefit of their own investment in Artis. I see that as extremely low probability given that
1) it would be anateurish and a huge issue for their limiteds and
2) they would essentially be doubling down on a risky bet

Wait for the facts, but I think this one will not turn into a real issue.

[...] Since the 800-pound gorilla in the online video world is YouTube, it makes sense that it dominates the news. To make them easier to digest, we’ve cut a number of YouTube news bits down to consumable size.YouTube has signed up Southwest Airlines as a partner for another user-generated ad campaign.A former MySpacer launches ChannelMe in the hopes of drawing creators away from YouTube by offering custom .tv domains.Matt Marshall at Venture Beat takes a long, hard look at the relationship between YouTube funders Seqouia Capital and Artis Capital, both of whom scored big in the Google sale.And if you were wondering, the videos featured on the YouTube homepage are not paid placements.

What if Artis was an investor in Sequoia, and as such had some co-investment rights. Would that make you feel better? Sometimes we try to write a story on partial or thin evidence and accuse people of something that is normal, understood, practiced by many, and legal.

This makes me believe ‘It’s not what you do, it’s not even how well you do it?

It’s all about who knows you, who is referring you to whom, it starts and ends there!

Ps: I dont mean discourage any entrepreneurs out there but do what you would die doing, learn to Network and if nothing works out marry the right girl

Wait a second… I thought that was the standard MO for VCs. If you don’t know someone you don’t get in.

Um, if CKS was a profitable, public company ( which it was when it went public in December of 1995), how could Pierre Lamond have lost $250,000?

Many former CKS founders and employees – Mark Kvamme included – have large estates in Woodside and Atherton as a result of CKS Group’s public offering in 1995. I’ve got to believe Pierre wasn’t left out in the cold.

With CKS Group having been a public company and all, god forbid you check the facts yourself vs. quoting a Forbes article from 1998.

Adam, you’re right in that VenturBeat and Valleywag both saw PE Week’s story, which was the real breaker. I tried to fill in some holes.
