A New Day

Relaxing along the Pacific coastline in Santa Cruz, California after a morning run on 8 March 2007.

This is not news to many, but for those who don't know: I am moving back to the Bay Area by the end of the month.  (I write "moving back" because I lived in the Bay Area from 1994 to 1996.)  More details to follow later, but I have been blessed to land a terrific new job in downtown San Francisco, have secured a great apartment within walking distance of said job, and  - most importantly - my surfboard has already made it out here and is being safely stored at a good friend's place in Santa Cruz.

UPDATE (13 March 2007): Just haven't had the time to provide further details as noted above.  Very briefly, I will be joining Catamount Ventures as a Principal effective 2 April 2007.  Historically, they have invested in software and Internet companies such as Linden Lab (Second Life).  Going forward, they will continue to invest in these areas, in addition to all things "green", e.g., clean tech, organics.  As I wrote in the original post, I will be both working and living in downtown San Francisco, and not down the Peninsula (Silicon Valley) ... no offense to the fine residents of Palo Alto, but I am thrilled about this on any number of levels.  By San Francisco standards, my apartment is fairly spacious, so blog readers who are also friends in real life are more than encouraged to come visit!

It will be great to have you back in the Bay Area!

Sachi,

We are going to miss you dearly here in Austin. You were one of our best. The team you are joining at Catamount looks strong (with a lot of entrepreneurial experience themselves); I was very impressed by their bios. As you know, I believe green tech is a huge opportunity and one that I have written about often:

I hope we get a chance to work together one day.

Sincerely,
Brett

Glad to hear you'll be in the city! I'm moving up there in June, so we will have to have dinner or drinks at some point. Hope all's well with you Sachi.

Cheers,
Angela
