____________________
My name is Fred Wilson.
I am a VC. I have been for 19 years. I help people start and build technology companies. I do it in NYC, which isn't the easiest place to build technology companies, but it's getting better.
I love my work. I am the Managing Partner of two venture capital firms, Flatiron Partners and Union Square Ventures.
I also am a husband and a father of 3 kids. I do that in NYC, too. And it isn't the easiest place to raise a family, either, but it's getting better. I love my family more than my work.
I also love music, art, yoga, biking, skiing, and golf. That's a lot of interests for a guy who works 70 hours a week and loves his family. But I manage to make it work.
