    1/2 Thrilled to share Adobe is acquiring Frame.io. A major outcome (~$1.3b!) for a company that defined collaboration for video teams globally. Thank you Emery & John for letting us lead your Seed and Series A in 2015. Can't wait to see what you all do together...

    We @Accel think APIs are the new SaaS. The future of software is composable services, front-end and back-end, that allows software to fit to any business process or workflow. #apxconf.

    In an investor’s career, there are excruciatingly few companies where team, market and opportunity so perfectly combine – you know it when you see it. Jon, James and Grant are building a generational company at the heart of creative communications and visual reasoning.

    Major hat-tip to the team @InVisionApp for their first, global all-hands today. They're re-writing the rules of work: a distributed workforce with a proud identity, deep customer-conscious, and a hunger to scale even higher. Exciting to see everyone in the same room (first time!)

    A company that’s a force for good. Transcend helps encode data privacy rights across the web, putting end users back in control of their data and how it’s used. And now with more resources behind this important work... forbes.com/sites/davidjea….
