With our Q3 2009 venture capital activity report out, we wanted to say a quick thank you to the folks, who we are proud to call ”Friends of Chubby”, who offered insightful commentary and insights on the data that we provided to them about the quarter’s VC performance.  Below are some of the writeups we’ve seen which we encourage you to take a look at for additional perspectives on what the numbers mean. 

If you wrote about our results, and we’ve missed you, (1) we are sorry and (2) drop us a line at team(at)chubbybrain.com with the link to the article and we’ll add it to this post asap.
