My venture investing career has three phases, all roughly 6-8 years long. The first, at Euclid, was software to Internet. The second, at Flatiron, was Internet to bubble. And the third, at USV, has been web 2 to mobile. I have always used a new firm to denote a new investment phase for me. Throw away the old. Start with the new.

Given New York City's cultural diversity, it has always attracted creative people.
Fred Wilson
The companies that do the best job on managing a user's privacy will be the companies that ultimately are the most successful.
Fred Wilson
The fact is that the amount of money startups raise in their seed and Series A rounds is inversely correlated with success
Fred Wilson
Profiles aren't journalism.
Fred Wilson
Not only do you have to put yourself in harms way in service of your country, you have to leave your families at home. It is a great sacrifice.
Fred Wilson
Foursquare's adoption of a game dynamic when it launched is a particularly clever implementation of a social hook.
Fred Wilson
There are so many startups out there raising money. I don't think this is a bad thing. It's a good thing. Entrepreneurship is in vogue. Innovators are innovating. Makers are making.
Fred Wilson
I don't like to talk about myself. I like to talk about stuff that's happening, stuff that's going to happen, and the people who are going to make it happen.
