A Great Discussion with @skuper @davemcclure @msuster on Changes in the VC Industry

By Mark Suster on July 28, 2014

I recently attended and presented at Dave McClure’s PreMoney conference in San Francisco.

Lead, Follow or Get the Fuck Out of the Way

By Mark Suster on October 22, 2011

Will Quorans Develop Enough Spine to Ensure Quality?

By Hutch Carpenter on February 15, 2011

On Quora, this question was recently asked: Is the upvote bias towards more popular answerers a threat to quality on Quora?

By Jacob Morgan on February 6, 2010
