We had a special edition of This Week in Venture Capital this week shooting out of the Next New Networks offices in New York. Click on this link to watch the video. Our guest was Mo Koyfman of Spark Capital. Spark Capital is relatively new to VC (founded in 2005) yet has become one of the hottest new VCs having invested in Twitter, Tumblr, AdMeld, Boxee, KickApps and many more companies.
This was a really fun episode for me because Mo is informed and knowledgeable on so many topics and being a Boston / NYC VC it gave us so much to talk about relative to just covering California VCs.
Mo was graduated from Wharton, worked in investment banking, spent 6 years at IAC (including in an operational role for Connected Ventures which includes College Humor, Busted T's and Vimeo) before joining Spark Capital in 2008.
Topics we discussed in the first 45 minutes of the video include:
-What is VC like in NY?
-Why liberal arts undergraduate degrees can be more valuable than economics / business undergraduate degrees.
-Targeting SMB's (small & medium businesses)
-The importance of understanding "The Innovator's Dilemma"
