Stuart Ellman and Eric Wiesen are Venture Capitalists at RRE Ventures in New York City.
I co-founded RRE when I was 27. That is probably too young but now I have 15 years experience and I am only 42. I have been through all of the bubbles and busts, have invested and founded B2B, B2C, enterprise software, hardware, in the cloud, as a service, tools, software platforms, testing devices, incentive systems, wireless companies, semiconductors, mobile platforms, payment platforms, and some really cool clean tech companies. I have had really great years and some that seemed like a black cloud was following me. I have never seen the venture industry as unsure of its future as now and the time just feels right to blog out my thoughts.
I was an entrepreneur in college, then a Silicon Valley lawyer, and then an entrepreneur again after leaving the law but prior to moving to New York, getting my MBA and joining RRE Ventures. I am hugely optimistic about and excited by the possibilities of the web, mobile technology and distributed computing and media, but at the same time I’m something of a skeptic. You can find me at most NYC tech events, or follow me in the various webby ways available today (see my tumblr, follow me on twitter, or connect on LinkedIn).
Five Years Too Late 
[…] Stu Ellman, a friend and mentor, wrote a post last week titled Respect where he discussed the importance of being respectful of others whether you're successful or not, VC, entrepreneur or other. […]

Good day! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless
I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article
or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same
topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
