Back In Oz

by Chris Gilbey at 10:15AM (EST) on June 12, 2007 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I got back from doing the rounds of VC's on Sunday. Took the day off on Monday and didn't check email once. Its great to do that now and again.

My last couple of days were really hectic. On Thursday evening I flew up to Portland to meet with Steve Marshall from New Group and his creative team early Friday morning. Great bunch of people! And they have a tremendous client list too.

Before I got on the plane I had to connect on the phone with the founder of one of the companies that I visited in SF though. He had not been able to get to the meeting on Thursday - got caught in a hurricane in the mid west that closed all the airports. Very interesting guy. Ex-hedge fund manager who had over $300M under management when he was in the game, who has moved into playing in the public company arena.

He told me that with a couple of acquisitions that he is about to make their company, across all its sites, will be just behind MySpace in terms of monthly discrete visitors!

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
