As regular readers of this blog know, I’ve been having a lot of fun with Tom Evslin’s blook hackoff.com . Several weeks ago, I got on a conference call with Tom Evslin , Matt Blumberg, Kelly Evans, Stephanie Miller, and Fred Wilson and recorded a scene in the book. Tom put it up on the hackoff site today in two segments: here and here.
I played Joseph Windaw of Windaw and Wallar Venture Capital , a very white shoe VC who has a lifetime pass to the Harvard Club. As a jewish kid with a couple of degrees from MIT that wears sneakers, it was a tough role for me but Tom said I pulled it off fine. The balance of the cast is described in detail on Tom’s post about the recording .
The production quality was surprisingly good considering we did it over Skype and cell phones. I’ve suggested that we all hunker down for a three day weekend in New York and crank out the entire book in a real recording studio.
