	TIFF Education Foundation: Provocative Panel on Private Investing
		Jurvetson: The aspect of David's statement that struck me the most is the notion being advanced by some private equity firms that buyout investing and early stage investing can somehow be integrated effectively and profitably under one roof.
		Jurvetson: In the list of statements that David distributed to the panel ahead of time, I was tagged as the initial respondent to this one.
		Steve said that successful private equity investing entails essentially four steps, with the third step being a private equity firm's ability to add value to the companies in which it has invested.

		But, when framed as a question of parenthood (would you want your great grandchild to be smarter and healthier than you?), the emotion often shifts from a selfish sense of supremacy to a universal human search for symbolic immortality.

	Internet stock bubble still deflating - Sep. 5, 2000
		SAN FRANCISCO (www.redherring.com) - Steve Jurvetson, the always happy-go-lucky VC from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, is a classic example of the new generation of the Valley's financial cowboys, who got into the business after 1992 and thought cranking out a couple hundred IPOs a year was business as usual.
		Jurvetson used to hassle my brother Michael and me relentlessly about the thesis of the our book The Internet Bubble, which contends that all the whoop-tee-do stocks he was in love with were overpriced.
		At their low at the end of last May, the combined market cap of the portfolio was as low as $750 billion.

		Steve began his talk by pointing out that viral marketing is different from regular word of mouth in that it has an involuntary component.
		Steve also spoke about the two laws that govern networks: Metcalfe’s Law (the value of a network is proportional to the number of connections in the network - think Hotmail, Skype) and the more powerful Reed’s Law (the value is proportional to the number of groups in a network - think MySpace, Flickr).
		Of course these sorts of formulas are oversimplifications, but they can help us think of the different factors of a good viral marketing campaign.
