Last month @Morse and the @JDRF T1D Fund co-hosted the 2nd annual venture philanthropy dinner at the JP Morgan conference in SF, a great opportunity to discuss best practices in this emerging category of equity capital that is driving critically important #lifescience innovation.

It was a pleasure to participate in this end-of-year group text discussion led by @scottkirsner for the @bostonglobe Innovation Economy column. No substitute for a crystal ball but hopefully a few useful takeaways about the state of play in Boston tech. https://t.co/YnqqLTQrP9

Sitting in St Louis with the the General Managers of all 8 Venture Cafes! Wow! Talking about building innovation ecosystems.

Had a great panel in Austin TX with Jack Helfand of Vantage Point, Tarik Haskins of @MorrisNichols and my tax partner Dave Czarnecki. In view of recent Delaware cases #VC's should be taking a close look at #LLC's as an alternative. They are coming...

[Jon Gworek @pevclaw]

Basho case is important for VCs to understand. Now simply having a standard #veto right over financings could establish sufficient 'control' by the #VC to create the basis for a breach of #fiduciary duty claim. Great to work with John Mark Zeberkiewicz @RichardsLayton on this.

In a recent @ABABusLaw webinar, @pevclaw moderated a panel discussion about the consequences of the #BashoTechnologies case, where the court found that a #VC investor with a significant minority stake exercised effective control over the corporation: https://t.co/NlDAvBklNB

Join this #webinar on one of a series of recent Delaware cases that has #VC's and their advisors reexamining LLC's as an alternative to corporations. https://t.co/NaaxO6ZNU6 via @MorseBarnes
