1/ Short, little pre-Superbowl tweetstorm announcement...
Excited to share @haystackvc has raised Haystack V with $50M in fresh capital to focus on seed-stage* investing.
* current definition of "seed-stage" to be debated at an another time ;-)

2/ Feel lucky & fortunate to have both @ianhathaway_ and @aashaysanghvi_ as key parts of the investment team. They are wise beyond their years and learning the craft as I continue to learn the craft. Follow them!

3/ It was time to re-do the website, so we have what we hope is a simple, light refresh to haystack.vc that contains very basic portfolio and contact information. Check it out.

4/ Finally, thank you to all the founders, limited partners, ecosystem friends, and so many folks who I met through Twitter over the last decade that helped Haystack get started, get off the ground, and get into the game. Thank you! /end

there is no sector focus. We are just looking for outlier people. As long as it is software-based with a product demo or some customers we will take a look.

Congrats! I think of seed stage as an investment primarily in the people, versus mostly in the idea. Disagree?

it's easy to say "it's all about the people." everyone has their own heuristic. ours is - people matter, but category matters, too -- and the sophistication of team in said category.
