If you are not in the Valley probably you are out of luck...I would like to contact him too...but I'm not in the Valley.

perhaps he does not wish to be contacted except by people who he gives his contact information to?

I think this is his website: http://www.baselineventures.com/

There's a lot of information on it too...you can find lawyers and other advisors. And some really cool web2.0 advice.

:D

No, that looks like a squatter pretending to be them.

This reminds me of a question...how do squatters like this automate these sites? I mean, I'm assuming a site like baselineventures.com makes so little money that it's worth virtually no time in setting it up, so how do they know what it's about? Are they scraping google results for baseline ventures and looking for common keywords?

Post your start-up on Hacker News. Maybe someone who knows him will be impressed enough to mention you in passing.

Use your network ? - from what I've seen the social network among startups is pretty tight, most people on HN are probably only a couple of connections away from Ron at most.

Get an intro from one of the many startups he's already an investor in. There are literally hundreds of them.

Angel investors generally don't publicize their contact info. They rely on referrals; they don't have the infrastructure for dealing with a high volume of unfiltered proposals, like a VC fund would.

That sounds like a role for a new kind of super-associate, someone who helps filter companies for multiple angels simultaneously.

Looks like it might be worth trying to get to Brian Pokorny of Baseline Ventures first.

Yes. This is the proper way.

(Correction: TechCrunch just published a news about Ron Conway and the fact that he is leaving Baseline)

parkern
any idea how to contact Brian Pokorny? You would think Baseline would have a website.

Perhaps the first test of confidence is seeing if you can reach them at all. I doubt it is just a forum question away.

Yes, I think so because I have seen his name many times and also received his email very often. See this link: http://vator.tv/user/show/RonConway Is it hard to find him ?? You do the last puzzle. Jg
