TechCrunch did a list over top VCs – and Tim Draper is off course on the top. Where is the DANNY RIMMER and where am I ;)

This is management from a guy with lots of luck and balls:

…..Take the case of Sheryl Sandberg, a 37-year-old vice president whose fiefdom includes the company’s automated advertising system. Sandberg recently committed an error that cost Google several million dollars — “Bad decision, moved too quickly, no controls in place, wasted some money,” is all she’ll say about it — and when she realized the magnitude of her mistake, she walked across the street to inform Larry Page, Google’s co-founder and unofficial thought leader. “God, I feel really bad about this,” Sandberg told Page, who accepted her apology. But as she turned to leave, Page said something that surprised her. “I’m so glad you made this mistake,” he said. “Because I want to run a company where we are moving too quickly and doing too much, not being too cautious and doing too little. If we don’t have any of these mistakes, we’re just not taking enough risk.”

Is everything for the home  – an ecommerce play. Managed by Thomas from AArhus with a passion and a drive that i envy. Justgot new numbers and Im impressed – even though there are lots of things to do – and they are working hard.

Today I did one of my most important deals ever – and I really have a hard time controlling myself – darn Im lucky. Feel like going nuts with a couple of friends and a box of wine. But I just reached home after a oneday trip to London. (sorry to keep my secret)

See this comparison

I love NYC. No where elsa can you go with a such pace. No where else can you receive an invitation to go on the Forbes boat (with Helicopter + 2 Triumph bikes on top) with a 48 hour notice. NYC is like no where else.

Im stting next to a guy in the plane – who apparently has a slingbox at home – and has connected to it from the plane – and is now watching all his Cable Channes from home next to mee ;)  – COOL !

ps. No porn yet.

Yesterday I have had contact to 5 startups (3 meetings) who all wants to get a part of the online video pie.

I did have www.TomSnak.dk *bougth from Mie and Gorm 2000 – with enourmous traffic already by then.

YouTube is going to be sold soon at sky(pe) high evaluation. And Nik and Jay boys will launch TheVeniceThings – whatever that is…

I feels like Copenhagen is getting so much hipper and more happening then ever. 5years ago I would never get a call from foreigners who where suddenly in Town – but now it happens quite often. Thats NICE.
And somehow even MTV called Copenhagen :)

Its always fun to go up against the bigies:

Brokerage Wars

Zecco Has A Hard Road Ahead

Stock Trading Goes Free

Gonna Party Like it’s 1999

Skype backer takes on ETrade with free trades…

NOTE: we use the same trading platform end the same settlement and clearance house as Etrade Canada and as many other brokers plus the fact that our customers are insured to $25 million :) – more than competitors as a matter of fact. I love to see the impact – keeping in mind that we are doing this with prtty small funds.

www.Zecco.com – The time is now for a disruptive approach aimed at the US brokerage industry. There is absolutely no reason consumers should accept paying anywhere from $10 to $20 for a service that is easy to provide at no charge at all.

Since the arrival of online brokerages in the early 1990’s aggressive competition have helped reduce commissions from an initial high of $40. But while competition remains fierce massive customer acquisition costs makes it difficult for the industries larger players to reduce cost further.

Mentioning – Zecco on News.Google.com

this is fun and Im stupid to help by linking ;)

I made a mistake. I tried to install IE7 – and now I have no more IE since it goes down after 20sec. everytime – and I can’t role back to IE 6. What a pity…

was the title of a speech I gave yesterday. It was a very strange situation – I normally love to give speeches and lectures (even though I don’t feel smart enough to teach people anything). Its was strange because – the host employees of the host Novo were all above 37 and well dressed and there were 40 of them. And the first 10 minutes – NO ONE LAUGHED ONCE – and that really scared me and I started sweating like a pig and felt VERY BAD. Luckily I got on top of things and they seemed very happy after my 1 hours shameless selfpromotion. Phyyy.

I could not be more happy for Jacob. He took a BIG CHANCE – and now the outcome is clear.

Hi All

We have just been informed that we are the 10th fastest growing business in Denmark over the last 4 years.

That is called a “Top Gazalle” here in Denmark.

I’m very proud of this, so I will take the time to say thanks to all in Soft Trading and also to all our Partners.

THANKS!!

I certainly hope we can develop our relations even further!

Best regards,

Jacob Wolff-Petersen
Founder
