MarketWatch Interview On 5-Year Anniversary of Market Peak

This week, Bambi Francisco interviewed me on MarketWatch. We discussed valuation justification for the surviving public companies. The show ran on the five-year anniversary of the market’s peak in March of 2000. In the more than five years since I have been a full-time venture capitalist, public market investing has become even more challenging. As I note in the interview, I am seeing an increase in attractive private investment opportunities, including Internet companies.
