Today we launched the Gemini Blog. In the past few years, a few of us have been blogging (Adi, Ed, Tali, and myself), but all those blogs were independent. In our Gemini Blog effort, we are giving a platform for all the Gemini members to express their thoughts, ideas, and to have an open dialog between the fund and the tech community.
I am a big fan of VC blogging. I think that it’s a great way to show the personal side of the Venture Capitalist, and also to easily communicate our thoughts on the industry, our work, and our processes. Saying that, maintaining a personal blog requires a lot of effort. Fred Wilson, probably the most known VC blogger on the plant, posts at least twice a day. That’s amazing. I manage to post times a week (on a good week), and I sometimes go for more than a month with nothing to say.
The Gemini blog provides a great opportunity for our team members to share great content, and do that in a sporadic way. Some will write twice a week, and others will post something every 2-3 months. However, we guarantee fresh content every other day, and hopefully a site that will become a great resource for the Israeli high-tech scene.
Regarding my personal blog, Israel Venture Capital 2.0, it’s not going anywhere. I will continue to post here (a lot), and will also add some to the Gemini blog.
So, what’s the action item now? Add Gemini Blog to your RSS reader, and in any case check it out now.
A "subscribe to this feed" link on the new blog would be helpful :)
