Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get to the other side of course!

What you might not know about that old joke is ... the chicken might have been wearing rose colored contact lenses!

Yes, someone pitched the idea of chicken contact lenses to Mark Levine, Managing Director of Core Capital Partners, a VC firm based in Washington, DC.


In Part II of my interview with Mark, he recounts that chicken tale and provides some insight into the VC world:

*  Exit strategies

*  Hot investment areas

*  Why entrepreneurs should not be so focused on valuations


Mark also discusses the value of "The Art of War", and why upstart entrepreneurs are his favorite moguls, beating out the likes of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates!
