| Digg failed; he threw his employees under the bus. He went to form milk, that failed and he took money from people. Oink failed. He got acquired to work on G+, very quickly after got booted to Google Ventures - and apparently didn't do too well there. A lot of people have put him out there in good faith, figuring he was not a one-trick-pony - and that he had more in him, yet, now, we are talking about how he failed at investing in a runaway success. So, really, why? This guy is like the valley's version of Kim Kardashian where Digg was his sex tape. Look - I appreciate that he has done well for himself. But he has not created anything amazing, nor done amazingly well for others. After all this, his best accomplishment is interviewing Musk, perhaps. Its a waste of energy. let me know when Kevin really innovates. |
I mostly take issue with your post because of the overtly negative tone, and not providing a single source for your claims. I used to see Kevin as a bit of a schmuck, but I think he's turned into somebody to watch now rather than somebody who just got lucky. He picks companies well, and I think he's in the perfect spot right now.
