The @nvca was kind enough to feature our firm @iconventures last week. I am very proud to be a Board member, supporting their essential work for the VC/Entrepreneurial eco-system.
In our latest NVCA Member Spotlight, we spoke with @JoetheVC, Managing General Partner of @iconventures, about his firm, their #startup portfolio, why Icon is part of NVCA, what's ahead in 2021 & more!

Just as with the companies we invest in, we need to always be looking forward and evolving our firm while not losing sight of the core building blocks and values that got us here.
We're excited to announce our new office in Dublin to focus on investing in Europe, the launch of our Canadian Engineering Talent Program, and Peter Yi's promotion to Partner. Looking forward to what the rest of 2021 has in store! prnewswire.com/news-releases…

A well-written piece @levynews! Bloomberg is the only candidate in the field on either side of the aisle that can restore the health of the capital markets, which is vital to our economy and global competitiveness.

Welcome to @iconventures @preet1rathi. We’re excited to have you on the team!
Enjoyed a lively conversation with @TheDomino on
@CNBC. Some great insight discussed about venture backed IPOs with a great piece by @dee_bosa.
From IPOs to WeWork's fall, it has been a dramatic year for #SiliconValley unicorns. As more companies get ready to go public in 2020, the startup landscape is in flux. What's ahead for unicorns in 2020? @iconventures' @JoetheVC discusses with @TheDomino on @CNBC.
A well-written story by @KathPender about the unicorn class of 2019. Many good observations and lessons learned that we can take away.
2019 was supposed to be the year of the unicorn. And it was. It just didn’t turn out like everyone expected, writes @KathPender:

Great conversation with @SullyCNBC and @dee_bosa on the @CNBCTheExchange today sharing thoughts on how WeWork, too much capital and mega funds are impacting the venture capital environment. They're both very sharp and know their stuff.

VC WELL RUNNING DRY? The struggles of @Uber and @WeWork have raised concerns that the "unicorn" bubble is about to burst in Silicon Valley. But Joe Horowitz of @iconventures why that may not be the case to @dee_bosa and @sullycnbc on @CNBCTheExchange
Eliot Brown @eliotwb did a great job on this article @WSJ. The conversation continues about the impact of too much capital and mega funds on traditional venture capital firms. "Busy Being Born": bit.ly/2qcMBYU
Financings and venture capital funds are getting very large. bit.ly/2DBjkzR @WSJ Eliot Brown @eliotwb explains it well. How VC firms need to adjust is the topic of @JoetheVC latest blog –“Busy Being Born”: bit.ly/2qcMBYU #venturecapital #softbank #siliconvalley
Our latest fund update cnb.cx/2RgSKPm first covered by @CNBC @saracsalinas really seemed to strike a chord with the VC community. My latest blog post gives some additional color: bit.ly/2qcMBYU #siliconvalley #venturecapital #megafunds
