Chris Fralic: Partner at Innovative Early Stage VC First Round Capital, Former eBay and Del.icio.us Exec Tells All
Susan interviews Chris Fralic, VC who "gets" the media industry, makes insightful and edgy investments, hangs at the TED conference and loves podcasts. He has investments with Josh Kopelman from First Round in Buddy Lube, RockYou, Eventful, SnapVine and MyYearbook as well as Scan Scout where the mutual friend, Jed Savage who introduced us, currently works. In the show, we play the jingle from Buddy Lube - worth a listen to the show just for that! BuddyLube is a company that sits between artists and fans on a social network. Check it out.
Chris is happily married to Irma, whom he met while getting his MBA at St. Joseph's University. He re-enacted his proposal to her on the TED stage and apparently it was a good luck charm. They have a son, Max (7) and live in an artists' colony in New Hope, PA. Chris shares his love of running and recent marathon schedule and explains how the Nike+iPod combo keeps him going.
If you've been impressed, as I have, with the BMW sponsorship of the TED Talks interviews you can thank Chris for making that happen. He put the deal together and those TED Talks have been downloaded over 8 million times. Let's hope this episode of DishyMix has that kind of luck!
Suz and Chris move from a discussion about AWS Amazon Web Services where we agree that Mechanical Turk is the perfect combo of man and machine to sheer amazement that BazaarVoice took only 14 months to hit profitability to widgets to biz dev to working for Bill & Melinda Gates. Listen to this episode to hear someone very supportive of innovation in the industry, a great man, a great husband, a great dad and just the kind of guy you'd want to hang out with.
