Blacklist another VC here. And he is supposed to be one of the better ones...



You are blacklisting someone because he reports being harsh with a subordinate who was not doing his job?


Luckily, VCs don't really get to tell you how to run a company.


I'm quite certain someone who holds a very large equity share in your company and who has enormous influence over your future prospects at funding, can really tell you how to run a company.


A VC is really unlikely to get involved with the details of how your corporate culture works, provided the business works. The board-level decision they could ultimately force is replacement of founders/CEO, corporate events (financing, M&A, etc.), and really high level strategy.


Wait, is this guy the A16z Horowitz? Not a time to flout obnoxiousness and ruthless disregard for staff, in the middle of the OnLive situation.


Yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Horowitz -- "Known for: Co-Founder of Opsware [the company being written about in the article] and Andreessen Horowitz".
