Congrats to my friend Scott Maxwell who just launched his new venture capital firmOpenView Venture Partners .  I’ve gotten to know Scott over the past few years while working together with him on the Microsoft Emerging Business Team Venture Capital Advisory board. 

Scott is a tireless, deeply focused, thoughtful, and supersmart guy who has developed and perfected his unique approach to venture capital investing at his previous firm Insight Venture Partners .  His performance and track record shows and I am happy to count myself as an investor in his new fund.

Scott – I’ll see you in Redmond on Wednesday and give you a proper congrats then.
