I’m not involved in the VC world anymore but still love the field and find VC’s great BS filters for what’s happening in our space. I thought I’d share with you my 3 favorite VC blogs, although there are many more these three are the ones I would most recommend.
Most of you are probably familiar with Fred Wilson, and if your not you should be. Fred has some great advice I try and follow and every serious blogger should follow. This is from a Q&A he did with Technorati:
What’s your advice for aspiring professional bloggers?
Show up every day with something interesting to say and don’t be afraid to speak your mind.
Brad Feld with the Foundry group in Boulder has a great blog you should follow. He’s probably the single most intelligent VC’s regarding technology I’ve met. The guy’s a total geek and wicked smart.
Mark Solon with Highway 12Ventures is relatively new to the blogging scene but is already one of my favorite blogs to read. He is the single most trustworthy VC’s I’ve met and most startups that have worked with him will tell you the same. He’s also a total health nut and could kick my butt on a bike any day. Besides that he’s a great friend and it’s his birthday today. Happy 44th Mark.
The Highway 12 blog is especially relevant is you’re in the Rocky Mountain area but he covers topics every startup should read. Gems like this:

Tac,
I'm incredibly flattered to even be mentioned with Fred & Brad. Thanks for being the inspiration behind the blog. I hope the the folks at Wagner know and appreciate what a tremendous asset they have!
Best, Mark

Posted by bfeld | 25. Oct, 2009, 3:43 pmLike I told you before Mark, helping you get into blogging was purely selfish. You've got a knack and a lot to add. Keep it up.
