My First-Ever Accomplished New Year’s Resolution!

In addition to my recurring annual resolutions to read the complete works of Shakespeare, run a marathon, lose fifteen pounds, find the perfect mate, and win a Nobel Prize in economics (which I’ve never studied) – my 2007 new year’s resolution is to start blogging. Since pontificating comes to me a lot more naturally than those other endeavors, I’m excited to finally, actually accomplish a new year’s resolution! 

So, hello world! My name is Cliff Boro. Since this is going to be primarily a business blog, I may as well tell you what I do for a living. My two partners and I start – startups. We’re so passionate about starting startups – we’ve even recently jumped into one of our projects as the full time executive team. After we sold our previous company (Infogate – best known for buying and fixing Pointcast) to AOL in March ’03 (honorably but not lavishly) – we founded a venture development group called CVT Ventures. We’ve been busy, and we’ve been fortunate to work with some great entrepreneurs to help found both VideoEgg (www.videoegg.com) and mSnap (www.msnap.com). I’m the proud Chairman of both of those companies. 

These days, my partners and I have put CVT on mothballs to work full-time on a stealth-funded VC-backed company (sorry for the coerced mystery but it’s still embryonic). It’s humbling to be a startup CEO again (after pretending to be a quasi-venture capitalist for the past few years!). Basically – my partners and I wanted to eat our own dog food, take our own medicine – and start something from scratch and build a great business. We’re really excited about the opportunity and eager to apply the key lessons we learned from “web 1.0” – and just do everything a little bit (or even much) better. 

I expect to primarily blog about our own startup experiences, and to comment on the human-side of being an entrepreneur. I’ve enjoyed reading many blogs from people I know (Josh Kopelman, Howard Morgan, Tom Shields, David Hornik, Ed Sim) and other blogs including Fred Wilson, Guy Kawasaki and Seth Godin. I’ll do my best to add to the conversation. Happy New Year!

Following an office move, I finally decided to clean up my treasured archive of business cards, and found yours from IFN, when I was working with Ed Addison at ConQuest (aka "the good old days"). Through the wonders of Google, I tracked you down. Looks like you're still doing great things. Glad you made a resolution to start a blog, and best of luck with your many ventures. Judy Feder

The loans seem to be important for guys, which are willing to ground their own career. In fact, this is not hard to get a short term loan.

For chronic pain that does not subside should be evaluated by a doctor. If you are doing these exercises correctly, but no pain. As the symptoms are easily identified, the condition can be extremely painful and will get worse without therapy. The high BMI puts constant pressure on the foot should be 45 degrees.

In Weardale, County Durham, there's a way to cope with modern motoring conditions. Raymond Garcia, 45, was arrested after cops saw him fighting a street sign. Aaron LathamLatham, 22, allegedly got naked, stole a man's truck and young driver car insurance (forospotify.com) then ran it into the front of a 1995 Pontiac GrandAm. '' Michael Arias directed car insurance for students -- reportedly, the first time you filed a claim you would be subsidising boy-racers and criminals.
