I'm with Joshua on that point. In Silicon Valley experience and contacts are in abundance. Why would someone want to bring you on board vs. other well connected people in the valley? How do you differentiate from the other great angels and early stage VCs out here?

I don't think he's in Silicon Valley. Possibly a big plus, or a big minus, depending.

Personally, I like to meet the people I'm investing in. Meeting your investors is probably good too. Network effect, etc etc etc.

I"m currently Hamburg Germany based, but moving back to New York in the coming weeks.

Welcome back to US and HN, Jason. Are you transitioning away from SocialMedian? We're building a mobile startup now focusing on the iPhone, love to talk to you if iPhone startup does not scare you away :)
