The Ascent Of Early-Stage Venture Capital Editor’s note: David Blumberg is the Managing Partner of Blumberg Capital. David has been investing in early-stage technology companies for more than 24 years. His current investment focus includes Digital Media, Social Media, Mobility, SaaS/Technology Enabled Services and Internet.

Killing Your Startup On A Thursday Night Editor’s Note: Lucas Rayala was the cofounder of Altsie. This is what you do when you close down your startup: you call Rackspace and cancel the Windows SQL server plan. You email SendGrid and give them notice on your Silver SMTP Service Package. This is what I told them: “I’m folding up Altsie. I put three years of my life into building and running Altsie, a bootstrapped startup funded out of my back pocket. As we approached launch last May, I started to understand what buzz was. That’s the nice side of the story. Elon Musk said that running a startup was like eating glass and staring into the abyss. I was confronted with my own limitations and began to see myself in the harshest, most honest light ever directed on me. Two years building and eight months running Altsie took its toll.

Positive Projections Website Remodeling, Web Design & Marketing EMPRENDEDORES.es The Tragedy Of Calling Things Silicon Blah I was in LA for the past three days hanging out at Oblong, meeting with a bunch of entrepreneurs I know, then spending time at MuckerLabs, giving a talk at SCVStartup, and finishing up my trip with a half day at LaunchPad LA followed by a dinner that LaunchPad LA and Mark Suster put on. Even though I still felt fried from my 50 mile run, I had a great time and I’m sure I fed off of the energy of all the people I spent time with. At the dinner I gave a short talk on Startup Communities and then answered some questions. The first question was “what do I think of the phrase ‘Silicon Beach’ for the LA startup community.” I responded that I thought it was stupid. In the late 90′s a wave of “Silicon Blah” appeared. If you are going to create a startup community, build your own identity. Even within a city like LA there are startup neighborhoods. LA is huge.
