Interviewing | Feld Thoughts Many of the companies I’m an investor in are hiring a lot of people right now. For a current view, take a look at the Foundry Group jobs page. I’ve interviewed and hired a lot of people over the year and I’ve developed my own perspective and philosophy on the best way to do this. However, I don’t feel like I have all the answers so I asked a few people that I respect a lot (and fit in my definition of VP of People) to weigh in with their thoughts. Ring Nishioka from BigDoor is up first. I’ve loved working with Ring over the past year as he’s helped grow the BigDoor team from five people when I first invested to the 20 or so people it is today. Interviewing sets the tone of the culture to everyone that comes into the company. I believe that everyone who comes into contact with a candidate should go through interview training. The candidate should have a consistent experience between interviews. Most of our initial interviews are at a local coffee shop.
Thinking Strategically A VC Don Dodge on The Next Big Thing Indoor Location and Positioning will be huge! Apple recently acquired WifiSlam for its indoor mapping and positioning technology. Why? Because we spend most of our time indoors, working, shopping, eating, at the mall, at the office, on campus, etc. Google already has Indoor Maps for many airports and shopping malls. The race is on. GPS and Maps are great, but they only work outdoors and with clear line of sight to the sky. You may have noticed that your Smartphone mapping system is much faster at findng your initial position than your car GPS. Why will indoor location be big? Navigation – Navigating inside large shopping malls, museums, airports, office buildings, college campuses, manufacturing plants, conference and convention venues Location sharing for Social or family apps – Sharing your location with family and friends at large, crowded locations, or meeting up after individual activities Games – Many mobile games could incorporate indoor location.
