About Me
- William Q
- I am a venture capitalist in California. I grew up in the Bay Area and came down to LA to go to college (USC). After leaving Disney in the early 90's, I got an MBA (Harvard) and became a venture capitalist. My firm, Clearstone Venture Partners, has been making investments in consumer and enterprise companies for 10 years. I live in Pacific Palisades, part of Los Angeles, and love just about everything LA offers. LA is a great place to find other creative people and build new businesses in the Internet, media and communcations markets.

Not sure if this is a question looking for an answer, but in my humble opinion it is a product of the general market sentiment and lack of willingness to look past the impact of the oncoming recession. As indicated by the hammering RIMM and AAPL both took when suggesting slightly bleaker than expected forecasts, investors are irrationally squeamish about the future. Although this phenomenon is likely to continue as long as the equity markets remain under the pressure of uncertain economic forecasts, I am optimistic the innovation we are seeing in social-media, green tech and other sectors will produce significant monetization events in the next few years...or so I hope.
