Lorenzo Geraci gets it, yet I have no idea who he is.

And in a true meritocracy that doesn't matter. Lorenzo dissects my "Idiot CEOs" article for what it is: "it paints a very clear analytical picture of what the CEO a typical VC backed company might expect, not always pretty. And while Georges' tone is a bit sarcastic, it is not overly pessimistic, it is pretty real, without fluff, or best case scenario; describing best case scenarios or atypical results was not the intent of the article."

The response to my article has been overwhelmingly positive and we've collected some of the accolades. Somewhat to my surprise a few VCs, who want to be part of the solution have reached out to talk - an effort we applaud.

What I want everyone to understand is that as a successful participant of the innovative ecosystem I am not interested in spinning stories to boost my readership, but I am focused on working to fix the performance of all participants (fund-managers, VCs and entrepreneurs) to ensure the future of technology as a sustainable and high performing asset class.

I spent 10 years building startups before I felt qualified to write about it. That real world experience is the basis for my opinions and blog. Thanks for your feedback.

Yesterday, we reached a bitter sweet milestone in the publication of our blog.

More than 4,000 unique visitors in a single day, and literally hundreds of glowing reviews by experienced CEOs and entrepreneurs whose support communicates the current mismatch of VC as the intermediary in connecting the assets of the LPs (money) with the assets of entrepreneurs (innovation).

We thank you all. It strengthens our resolve to fix (not eradicate) Venture Capital and restore the meritocracy of innovation this country was founded upon.

We invite sponsors to participate in the funding of this so-far self funded effort, and contact us here. Keep the feedback coming (albeit it will take me a bit longer to respond to all of them).

The Venture Capital model is not broken, just the majority of operators in it. The same problem as in the home lending markets. Inaccurate calculation of risk and opportunity, deflates innovation rather than boost it.

It is important for our ecosystem and entrepreneurs to not get discouraged, but to understand that not all early stage innovation is built using the artificial world and rule-book many VCs have created around innovation. Large companies like Apple and Google are out-innovating VC portfolio companies left and right, using more realistic strategies that are based on sound business principles and plenty of cash.

We hope articles like these help entrepreneurs avoid wasting time and focus on the right VCs.

BTW: the 24% drop in startup valuation in the accompanying article is the case in point.
