Hail Hail! Saul Klein has immediately started bringing further openness to VC. You can check out where to meet on his blog for the OpenCoffee club.
There is a real challenge for any of us to cut time out of a week where travel, board meetings and entrepreneur meetings tend to leave little time for family or even checking email (my inbox currently numbers 1,480). Nevertheless if we make a real effort to be there and keep the level of conversation challenging and engaged, this should be "accidental time" well spent.
It all goes back to providing more transparency to a market where entrepreneurs don't really know who does what and have real trouble cutting through completely undifferentiated marketing messages coming from the VC's.
Call it Open Source Venture Capital. It's a theme I love and that we tried to promote through events like the Elevator Pitch in the Elevator at the Next Web conference.
