About Bambi
Bio
Vator was a side project of mine that was a mere concept while I was a columnist/correspondent at Dow Jones MarketWatch. It was originally started to help me vet the many startups pitching me while I was a journalist.And, it was designed to ensure that those I couldn't cover would have a platform for others to find them.
I left in April 2007 and launched Vatortv in June 2007.
At Dow Jones, I covered Internet trends and investments across the public and private sectors. I was a morning business anchor for KPIX (the local CBS affiliate in San Francisco), and reported on MarketWatch's business magazine show on CBS. In the 'mid-90s, I worked as producer at CNN's financial news network, where I created, launched and produced business shows, including one on IPOs and new ideas.
I am married to Ezra Roizen. We have three children.

A key factor (or maybe the most important one) for a venture capitalist is maximizing IRR (internal rate of return). Sometimes taking more money just means managing more than one can handle.

Thanks, Jeremy. I personally enjoyed the comments about how his ambition and drive were manifested and cultivated when he was young.

Thanks, Jeremy. We owe a lot to Richard. Have to hand it to him - he's created a business out of SEO and "demand" content. And, he's built a new model to create content that others started to follow.
