If this means less Siegler writing in the mainstream tech press, then I'm all for it.

So, an Apple fanatic becomes a VC. Can we all agree we're in a bubble?

Not trying to be snide, but, does anyone care outside of the arguments of VC / funding bubble?

"yes, I’m becoming a VC"

he specifically says he that he will BE a VC and not JOINING a VC. I don't get it. Does that mean he will be investing his own money specifically? I never knew mg had that much personal funds to invest in.

For those of you who knows about this specifically, can someone enlighten me?

A VC invests other people's money. Specifically, a VC is a general partner in the firm and they invest the capital of the limited partners.

i'd like to think a guy that has been at the center of the technology beat with some of the best opinions in the biz is a good person to have on the VC side.
