Ron Conway, Weapon of Mass Disclosure

By Paul Kedrosky · July 29, 2007 · ·

I’m a fan of Ron Conway’s marker-centric approach to seed investing — make lots of small bets — but quoting him is fraught with entertaining peril. You see that in text form via a Jason Pontin piece on Kevin Rose and Pownce in the weekend NY Times:

“[Kevin Rose] is super-smart, friendly, humble and a team-builder — a perfect combination for a great entrepreneur,” said Ron Conway, who has invested in Digg and Revision3 and was an early investor in Google. (A disclosure: Mr. Conway also invested in Red Herring Communications, a magazine and Web site I once edited.)

Count ‘em: One short Conway quote forces four Conway-related oh-by-the-ways. The man’s a weapon of mass disclosure.

    That’s what happens when you’re a weapon of mass wealth… :-)
    Ron is God.
    I’m glad to see Jason Pontin’s writing getting out there again. I miss his wit, humor, insight, and skepticism from the old RH.
