People I met in Bay Area:
Bruce Schena – Founder of Immersion. Cool guy to hang out when I am in Bay Area again.
David Hornik (August Capital) – One of my favorite VC blogger. Finally got to meet him and I hope to invite to Singapore to talk to the startups here.
Dewayne Hendricks – Finally catch up with him for lunch on Friday after the mishap on Wed. Thanks for the insight on spectrum in US.
Don Park – Very smart guy! Read his blog for years, play WoW with him and finally get to met him.
Jeff Clavier – Ross say he is in office and I drop into his office uninvited. Catch him at a bad time and didn’t have much time. (He remembers me from Supernova 2005)
Keith Teare (edgeio) – Old friend and very smart (business) man. Partner of M. Arrington. Always value his advice (he asked me to move to Bay Area :-)
Lee Felsenstein – Gosh, I didn’t even know I was speaking to THE MAN until someone mentioned the word Osborne!
Loic Le Meur – Old friend. Glad to see him doing very well.
Marc Andreesen (Ning) – No, he don’t travel outside Bay Area :-(
Michael Arrington (Techcrunch) – Need to follow up with him from our short conversation.
Michael Montgomery (Montgomery & Co) – Excellent speaker at the panel of TC40. Another person on my invite list (not sure he needs it tho, since he probably knows more people in Singapore than I do)
Om Malik (GigaOM) – Had coffee with him on Friday at SF. May be in Singapore in Dec.
Shel Israel – Old friend. Wish I have more time to spend to talk to tho but he is busy with family. Family always first of course :-)
William Reichert (Garage.com) – Wonderful discussion. I am sure we can figure out something to do together.
Ross Mayfield & Phil Wolff & David Beckemeyer – Already covered them in my previous post. Wish I spend more time with them.
Thank you for spending the time with me. I hope to be back soon.
On a separate note, people I wish I have met:
Michael Moritz (Sequoia) – Sadly he left town immediately after Techcrunch
Ron Conway – Brilliant angel who made wonderful investments like Google & Paypal.
Perhaps next time I am in town. They are one degree apart so I need to make more preparation.
