Thanks David! I'm really excited. We better be your first port of call for deal sharing as well!

Yes, I think it will probably be more deal-focused than company
building--but I've been wrong lots of times before. :)

Well done Charlie and hope you are able to keep the Path101 dream alive, it is a fantastic idea at its core.

On the EIR title, are you planning on starting something new? It sounds like you're role is more semi-permanent/permanent than a usual EIR?

Wow - great news, Charlie, on both counts!

1) Major congrats to you on the new position with First Round! Sounds like a great fit to me. It's certainly a well-deserved step on your part, as well as a big coup on their part to gain access to your talents. I think combining your NYC connections and vision for the future of the NY startup scene with their vision for the future of the VC industry will bring about great things for the NYC startup scene!

2) As an employee of an FRC portofolio company here in NYC, it's great to hear about them spending more time in town. I think it'll be a huge plus for all of us in the FRC family to have closer access to them.

Great move, Charlie! Congrats again, and best of luck with the new gig!

What spectacular news! It couldn't happen to a better guy, a better fund, or a better city. This combination is gonna ROCK, and you had better damn well include me in on all these hot deals you're planing to do! :-)

Many, many congratulations to Charlie, Howard, Josh, Chris and everyone involved, and best wishes on an eventually profitable future for Path101!
