FYI, I give you full credit for a well received holiday present to my sister - a pair of jeans from Zafu (via giftcards.com). She's in NYC working as a documentary film producer. Let me know if you're looking to expand your circle in "the city." Best, Matt Thanks, Sarah!

The confluence of software/tech/IP centric deals (which is for the most part the case in the US as well, but likely less concentrated) and lack of banking/consulting feeders makes a lot of sense. I'd hold that the operational expertise/tech savvy skillset is significantly more valuable in early stage investment than the finance one, though a base amount of financial knowledge is a requisite. For the "youngest" companies under deep consideration at Chrysalis I've been known to dig in and generate a full model (income statement, balance sheet, cash flows), but see this kind of work as prime for outsourcing in the near term.

Great to know our "young" community is "growning"... Keep updating if you find any more BTW - In the Israeli VC world, it seems the background of young VCs tends to very "technology" oriented (engineers, tech sales / marketing). I think this has to do with the fact that most successful investments have a big tech barrier to them (hence tech understanding is a big part of the DD work) (as well as the fact that Banking/Consulting are not very big industries in Israel...)
