What these founders understand is communicating with people, using technolgy to do this, and building business that way. Technology is a servant, not the end story. What we all need now is more innovation in devices and services that feed data into the web, that people can use for their own lives. Sensors for example, I'd hope their will be growth there, and certainly with elegant methods for connection. Good news for sure. Hoberman understands business, LM was a great play and still is.

One of the most powerful features of the Silicon Valley ecosystem is the way that successful entrepreneurs recycle their gains/experience/contacts back into new generations of start-ups. Brilliant if that pattern can be repeated in Europe. This is a great move.
