After a wild year that saw the emergence of so-called super angels and a surge in valuations for seed-stage start-ups, we caught up with Michael Kim, who invests in seed-stage funds, to talk about what to expect in 2011. Michael Kim, managing director of Cendana Capital Kim is a former venture capitalist with Rustic Canyon Partners and a former member of the board of trustees for the San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System. He left Rustic Canyon in 2009 to start up Cendana Capital , a fund of funds that invests exclusively in seed-stage or “micro-cap VC” funds. He hasn’t disclosed details of his investing or funding, but Roger Ehrenberg’s IA Ventures recently raised a $50 million fund and disclosed Cendana was an investor in the fund. There’s a growing interest by institutional LPs in the micro-cap VC space, which I define as under $100 million in size with a focus on being in the first-round seed investment of a start-up.I am stunned by the news. I tend to be an optimist about things and I assumed Steve would recover. It's only hours since the news broke and I'd guess more may have already been written, blogged, tweeted, and updated in tribute to Steve Jobs than perhaps to anyone else in modern times. But writing about Steve is more for the writer, than the reader, so I feel that I have to write.
