I am thrilled to tip my hat to the great new blog by Joe Kraus. Joe was one of the founders of Excite, has been an angel investor in and advisor to numerous startups and has recently gotten back into the game with a new startup of his own. Joe has been an articulate advocate of copyRIGHTS through his organization DigitalConsumer.org and will no doubt be an equally effective advocate for his new company.

It is great to have Joe out there blogging about the entrepreneurial experience. While I write VentureBlog in hopes of giving entrepreneurs a view into the venture process, that is only half of the equation. Joe's blog explores company building from the inside out. It is both thoughtful and practical, as we try to be with VentureBlog as well. I am hopeful that more entrepreneurs will begin to share their experiences. And I look forward to continuing to read Joe's thoughts on hiring, finance, management and the like.
