Thanks Phil. I'm not surprised about the turnout - I feel a lot of our
incubators still need to prove themselves so there's no time for deep diversity

My own experience is that is gets somewhat tiring putting yourself out t
Good on you Phil.
I heard a quote from Mark Pincus that being a product manager is the
best training there is for being a CEO, especially if you are in a
bigger well structured company, seems to ring true with what you say

Since joining VMware in Palo Alto I have moved heaven and earth to

if you've not already connected with ladies at Head Over Heels you should do

Hi Guys,
I don't have much to contribute about the living situation in San
Francisco but am very interested in moving there myself. I'm just
wondering if you had any information about how you went about getting
visa's etc.

On the data, you'd have to say yes, absolutely there is, but I don't know
that the causes of the causes of the divide are super clear.

Yeah but honestly if you're trying to raise cash, living IN the valley is

Also congrats on the move.

are great places to live you will be either too disconnected from what is
happening or you will never see your family.
One of the best things you can do here is network, especially if
