The Raging Insterno

We’re pleased to announce that The Raging Insterno’s Seattle Summer Venture Capitalist of the Day award winner is Greg Gottesman of Madrona Venture Group.

 Our selection criteria is stringent at HQ, and Greg met all tests, including being reachable IN THE OFFICE, during any two consecutive Seattle summer sunshine  days. (This test, if you can believe it, narrowed the addressable field to 2, so the outcome was, as they say “res judicata“). In addition to being a good friend and confidant, and someone who allowed me to author a few chapters of the book College Survival, (I highly encourage you to buy in the embed below, AND send my children to college on my Amazon affiliate fees), Greg also has a 1-0 lifetime match record against yours truly in USTA tournament match play, having taken me down in the 16 and under quarterfinals of the Yakima Valley Championships 6-3 6-3. Nothing has ever lasted longer than the three hour ride home in his mom’s cult-classic Capri Classic station wagon. Or was it the Camry already? Congratulations, Greg. Rematch?
