No, I'm not kinding, I found many (dozens) of startups in Seattle that don't have a blog! [gasp]
And this is not the worst part. These are technology startups! [double gasp]
Well, it is much easier to hire a VP of Marketing that will hire a PR firm, to charge a few thousand dollars to write and distribute a press release to try to get in some print or online media to try to see if they can reach your customer or partners. Much easier than having a blog (and faster too, uh?).
There is more.... VCs in Seattle... So far, there are the total amount of 1 (one) VC from Seattle that writes a blog -- Steve Hall's Nortwest VC -- and, on the last 6 months he wrote a total of 5 (five) posts!
Fluke, Frazier, Ignition, Madrona, OVP, Second Avenue, Voyager, Vulcan... Nope, no blogs. To be fair, Ignition claims that it has a few VCs that are bloggers, but if you don't write a post in about a year I don't think it counts.
Rich Tong from Ignition Partners is almost a professional blogger, but his blog is not about VCs, Investments, or Ignition. It is about him, so that doesn't count.
Hey, I used to read Steve Hall's blog when he was posting more regularly. The public is not missing out, there isn't a lot of insight to be had by reading his blog. Why this guy is a VC is anyone's guess. About all I can figure is that he likes tech gadgets.
