Podcasts about Rockmelt

Eric Vishria is a General Partner @ Benchmark Capital, one of the world's leading venture firms. At Benchmark, Eric has served on over 10 boards including Confluent (CFLT), Amplitude (AMPL), Benchling, Contentful, Cerebras and several other private companies. Prior to joining Benchmark, Eric was the Co‐Founder and CEO of RockMelt, acquired by Yahoo in 2013. In Today's Episode with Eric Vishria We Discuss: 1. How to Make Money Investing in AI Today: How does Eric think through where value will accrue in the stack between chips, models and applications? Why does Eric believe foundation models are the fastest commoditising asset in history? Why does Eric believe that Nvidia will not be the only game in town in the next 3-5 years? 2. How to Invest in AI Application Layer Successfully: How does Eric analyse between a standalone and deep product vs a product that foundation model will commodities and incorporate into their feature set? How does Eric differentiate between the 10 different players all going after customer service, or sales tools or data analyst products etc? How does Eric analyse the quality of revenue of these AI application layer companies? What does he mean when he describes their revenue as "sugar high"? 3. How the Best VC Firm Makes Decisions: What is the decision-making process for all new deals in Benchmark? As specifically as possible, how does the voting process inside Benchmark work? What deal was the most contentious deal that went through? What did the partnership learn? How has the Benchmark decision-making process changed over 10 years? 4. Does AI Break Venture Capital Models: Does the price of AI deals and size of their rounds break the Benchmark model? Will foundation model companies all be acquired by the larger cloud providers? Unless multiples reflate in the public markets, does venture as an asset class have hope? Why does AI make paying ludicrously high prices potentially rational?  

Tim Howes is a software executive, entrepreneur, investor, and computer scientist who has been at the forefront of many of the most important waves in the technology industry since the 1990s. During his PhD work in computer science, Howes co-created the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which has become the industry standard means of managing directory information services. In the late 1990s he worked at Netscape on the server side of their business. After Netscape was acquired by AOL, he joined Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz in founding Loudcloud, one of the first companies to sell cloud services, predating Amazon Web Services by nearly a decade. Loudcloud would transform into Opsware and be purchased by HP in a successful exit. Later in his career, Howes would co-found Rockmelt, the developer of an innovative web browser, which was later purchased by Yahoo. Howes has held engineering management and technology leadership positions at HP, Yahoo, AOL, and Facebook. He now does angel investing and advises early stage technology companies. In this episode, I interviewed Tim about his career and his advice for people just starting their journeys in the industry. The interview was recorded in-person on February 12, 2022 in my office at Champlain College. Champlain has a mask-mandate, so apologies about how my voice sounded a little muffled.

On this episode I'm visiting Benchmark Capital, one of the world's most renowned venture capital firms, at their offices in the heart of the Tenderloin in San Francisco to chat with two of its general partners, Sarah Tavel and Eric Vishria. Sarah Tavel has a unique background as an investor, then operator, and back to investor. In the mid-2000s she joined Silicon Valley-based Bessemer where she led an investment in Pinterest and others. She went on to join Pinterest back when they were only a few dozen people before returning to venture three and a half years later. She's now a GP at Benchmark and on the board of Hipcamp and Chainalysis. Eric Vishria started his career as an operator, working at Opsware and HP before founding Rockmelt, a social take on the web browser, back in 2008. Later the company was acquired by Yahoo where Eric joined as a VP before making a leap into venture at Benchmark. Over the past four-plus years he's lead investments in Confluent, Contentful, Amplitude, and others. In this episode we talk about: What it's like to go from operating to investing and the different skillsets involved in those jobs, and why Benchmark has bucked the trend of venture firms expanding both in headcount and fund size. What Sarah and Eric are looking for in an investment, which spaces they're most excited about (hint: they say that contrary to reports of its death, consumer is very much alive), and why each partner at the firm only does on average one or two investments in a year. The importance of starting a company in Silicon Valley (or not) and why we're seeing more startups build outside the Valley. We also discuss some of her favorite products, including a couple apps that are enabling new forms of communication on mobile, an “Airbnb for campsites,” and why Sarah has been playing Fortnite for “research purposes.” We’ll be back next week so be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Breaker, Overcast, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Also, big thanks to AngelList and FreshBooks for their support.

At Benchmark, Eric has led deals and sits on the board of the likes of Confluent, Amplitude, and Bugsnag. Prior to being in VC, Eric was the Founder & CEO @ Rockmelt, the startup that sought to re-imagine the browser for the way people use the web today, the company was ultimately acquired by Yahoo in 2013. Prior to Rockmelt Eric held numerous different roles including VP of Products @ HP and VP of Marketing @ Opsware. In Today’s Episode You Will Learn: 1.) How Eric came to be one of the 5 GP's at Benchmark following operational success with Rockmelt, HP and Opsware? 2.) Why does Eric believe the pendulum has swung too far to the operational route into VC? What are the under-appreciated benefits of career VCs and the perspective they bring? How does Eric expect the pendulum to swing in the coming years? 3.) What makes the best-performing venture partnerships? How does Benchmark think about partner composition and career pre-VC? How does Benchmark structure investment decision-making? Why do they favor advocacy over unanimity? 4.) What does Eric mean when he says we are at the beginning of an infrastructure renaissance? What opportunities does this create in the venture landscape? How does this lead Eric to consider the current state of the consumer landscape? 5.) How does Eric view multi-stage investing? Why does Eric and Benchmark favour stage specifity when it comes to investing? What are the dangers of larger stage funds investing in earlier rounds for optionality?

En este nuevo podcast en conjunto con Monky, comentamos acerca de las novedades presentadas por Apple en el Evento del pasado 10 de Septiembre de 2013 en el cual volvieron a hablar de iOS 7, iTunes Radio y los nuevos iPhone 5C y iPhone 5S. En la sección Noticias de Apple comentamos acerca de la adquisición de Passif Semiconductor y Matcha.tv por parte de Apple, la corrección del agujero de seguridad de los cargadores USB, el cese del espacio extra de almacenamiento de las antiguas cuentas de MobileMe y la actualización del Apple TV al software 6.0. En esta ocasión no tenemos seccion de iOS Apps, Mac Apps ni Gadgets debido a que la cantidad de noticias era importante e incluir dichas secciones alargaría demasiado e innecesariamente el podcast. Finalmente en la sección Internet comentamos acerca de la compra de RockMelt por parte de Yahoo, la compra de Waze por parte de Google, la compra de Nokia por parte de Microsoft y la futura renuncia como CEO de Microsoft de Steve Ballmer.

In the world of web browsers it's beginning to look a lot like the 1990s. Back then the Internet was just starting to become an integral part of daily life and Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer vied for control of the market. This time around the browser battle includes an increasing number of competitors most notably Internet Explorer Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Newcomers like RockMelt a start-up that promises to integrate web browsing with social networking are banking on innovative new features to stand out. But does winning the browser space mean much in environments -- like mobile devices -- that increasingly focus on standalone web-connected apps?

Facebook has just announced its new Facebook Messages, which has been referred to as "Facebook email" or a "Gmail killer." It's not exactly email, but it does aim to centralize all of our messaging in the Facebook platform. Given Facebook's scope, is this a game-changer? In this episode, co-hosts Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell take a look at Facebook Messages and its implications, how social media and webmail are changing our relationship to email, and whether Facebook Messages or other forms of webmail are in your future. After you listen, be sure to check out Tom & Dennis' co-blog and book by the same name, The Lawyers Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies.

Gastheer Maarten Hendrikx, @maartenhendrikx op Twitter. Panel Jan Seurinck, @stefaanlesage op Twitter, of via zijn website. Davy Buntinx, @dirtyjos op Twitter, of via zijn website. Gast Arvid Bux, @arvid op Twitter of via zijn website. Onderwerpen Facebook hield vorige week woensdag een 'mobile event', wij geven een korte samenvatting en natuurlijk onze mening over de aangekondigde 'deals' in Facebook Places. (TNW) De 'oorlog' tussen Facebook en Google is alle hevigheid losgebarsten nu Google zijn terms of service voor de Google Contacts API heeft aangepast in het nadeel van Facebook. Wat zit er volgens ons achter? (TechCrunch) Arvid heeft de voorbije week de Toshiba Folio 100 kunnen testen en geeft ongezouten zijn ding over alweer een iPad-killer. (Engadget) Het laatste grote onderwerp is een TV-combinatie onderwerp: TMF die ermee stopt, Vitaya overgenomen door VMMA. Vooral een excuus voor ons om het nog eens over onze visie op televisie in het internet-tijdperk te hebben. Tips Davy  mag deze week de tips openen met Damn You Auto Correct of hoe de autocorrect-functie op de iPhone voor hilarische SMS-berichten kan zorgen. Arvid is even de pedalen kwijt en klutst vlot het kort nieuws en de tips door elkaar. Hij heeft het onder andere over RockMelt en de nieuwe versie van Evernote voor Android. Jan vertelt over Qwiki, een soort Wikipedia waarbij de informatie voorgelezen wordt en over Tweeteronix. De laatste tip is voor Maarten: GeeTeeDee, een hele eenvoudige Getting Things Done-applicatie voor Windows. Feedback Het Tech45-team apprecieert alle feedback die ingestuurd wordt.
