My wife is away this weekend with one of our children. They’re hiking part of the N.H. Appalachian Trail and will be staying overnight at one of the evening huts. Up top is a view that they’re likely to have from Mt. Webster. I hope they have a good time. Meanwhile, I’m at home with

Our VC Firm’s Compensation Structure

August 1, 2014August 1, 2014 Jo Tango
