I wasn't aware of all the great stuff AH is doing. It looks impressive.

They're not the only VC firm innovating, though. First Round Capital, for example, also has a terrific recruiting division (I know this is common at other firms as well). FRC also created the Dorm Room Fund[0], which invests small amounts in student-run companies and gives them access to FRC resources. FRC has an internal "platform team", developing technology to enable knowledge sharing between portfolio firms. In short, they work hard and do new things to help entrepreneurs succeed.

I'm speaking about First Round because I have direct experience with them, but I'm sure the same is true of some of the other VC's as well.
