New and improved website

Pasted Graphic 1
We changed our website (again) to a cleaner look, accommodate our focus towards Limited Partners and prepare for some future announcements.
  • We fine-tuned messaging to Limited Partners, and improved whitespace.
  • Completely reorganized the startup section, which has become secondary to our LP focus.
  • We implemented press coverage in the slider on the home page, now rotating with the accolades.
  • We reduced load time on the home page a bit.
  • Twitter signup has moved to every page.
  • We moved our commenting system from JS-Kit to Disqus to enable more modern commenting features, improve syndication and improve visibility. The comments from the previous system were imported in Disqus and should show up (albeit without some of the fancy visual attributes, some of this stuff just gets lost in translation).
  • We changed colors, more on that later. It has meaning.
  • IE6 performance may be dropping off soon, it is time to upgrade laggers!
  • We will add more features based on this design soon.
Please let us know if you have any problems using the site, commenting is now also enabled under this news section, so have a go at it. We will straighten up a few more things in the days ahead.

Georges has a new book in the making

Georges has finally started the process - promised before - of writing his book (code-named S3) which he hopes to complete in about 1 month. No ghost writing, 100% straight from the heart. Postings on the blog may suffer a little bit from that time drain, and we hope you trust the book will be worth it. We will make more announcements as to when it will be available, stay tuned.
