ERISA effect
wiki VC:
In 1973, with the number of
new venture capital firms
increasing, leading venture
capitalists formed the National
Venture Capital
Association (NVCA). The
NVCA was to serve as

venture capital industry.

U2 singer Bono's investments into Elevation Partners, which has offices in New York and
Menlo Park, have helped make him the "worst investor investor in America," according to the
online publication 24/7 Wall Street.
With large investments in Palm, Forbes, and Move.com -- "an unprecedented string of
disastrous investments which even bad luck could not explain" -- Elevation Partners has
earned the distinction of being "arguably the worst run institutional fund of any size in the
United States," 24/7 Wall Street asserts.
Bono is listed on Elevation's website as one of the five leaders, along with Fred Anderson,
former CFO at Apple Computer, Marc Bodnick, founding principal of Silver Lake Partners,
Roger McNamee, co-founder of Silver Lake and Integral Capital Partners and Bret Pearlman,
former senior managing director of The Blackstone Group.

Low data rate and intelligible
voice communication in harsh
acoustic environments
Military, civil and emergency personnel frequently must talk in harsh noise
environments using low data rate narrowband radios. Voice communication
at very low data transmission rates is a challenge that has traditionally
required sacrificing signal quality for low data rate. BBN's low data rate
Noise Robust Vocoders solve this problem, as illustrated in the diagram
below.

The third board member of Facebook is Jim Breyer. He is a
partner in the venture capital firm Accel Partners, who put $12.7
m into Facebook in April 2005. On the board of such US giants as
Wal-Mart and Marvel Entertainment, he is also a former chairman
of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). Now these
are the people who are really making things happen in America,
because they invest in the new young talent, the Zuckerbergs
and the like. Facebook’s most recent round of funding was led by
a company called Greylock Venture Capital, who put in the sum
of $27.5m. One of Greylock’s senior partners is called
Howard Cox, another former chairman of the NVCA, who is
also on the board of In-Q-Tel. What’s In-Q-Tel? Well,
believe it or not (and check out their website), this is the
venture-capital wing of the CIA.
