This was a first for me. Talking to a real life Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist.

David Hornik has a great sense of humour. Which he’s not supposed to have. First off, he’s a lawyer by trade. Second, he went to Oxford in London to study (he has 3 degrees). And third, he’s a VC in “the Valley”.

David is clearly a smart guy. And very plugged into the tech sector (which is what August Capital focuses on).

He’s also a fellow blogger, over at VentureBlog.

It’s a good read and I really resonate with David about what it takes to keep blogging.

I really enjoyed the chat. You’ll have to excuse the background noise but we were in “the bloggers lounge”, which is a dedicated hang-out for all the bloggers at the Expo. It’s a great idea and there were guys streaming video, putting together podcasts and simply posting live from the event.

David passed on some solid advice for entrepreneurs wanting to “get funded”. I truly do appreciate him taking the time to chat with me.

He was also a lot of fun at the session directly after this - which was the Launch Pad session (coming up soon).
