A VC: Musings of a VC in NYC Fred Wilson's Blog, "A VC" cover the musings of a VC in New York City.

I am a VC. I have been for 19 years. I help people start and build technology companies. I do it in NYC, which isn't the easiest place to build technology companies, but its getting better.

I love my work. I am the Managing Partner of two venture capital firms, Flatiron Partners and Union Square Ventures.

I also am a husband and a father of 3 kids. I do that in NYC too. And it isn't the easiest place to raise a family either. But it's getting better too. I love my family more than my work.

I also love music, art, yoga, biking, skiing, and golf. That's a lot of interests for a guy who works 70 hours a week and loves his family. But I manage to make it work.
