Early Mozilla leader leaves Matrix Partners to rejoin the entrepreneurial ranks
Posted by: admin in Business and Politics
(Credit: Matrix Partners)Bob Lisbonne has long been one of my favorite venture capitalists and, indeed, people. He’s a warm, intelligent person. I’ve passed more than one bad venture idea his way and had him very kindly tell me it was a pile of potty.
So it was with blended feelings that I read his email today that he’s leaving Matrix Partners to possibly rejoin the ranks of the entrepreneurs. Here’s the guy who, while senior vice president and general manager of Browser Products at Netscape, helped to give us Firefox. Here’s the guy who invested in promising open source-related companies like PostPath and LucidEra. And now he’s leaving. Or coming back.
Or both:
Over the years, I’ve tried to make time for my own little software projects during nights and weekends, but, as you can imagine, that’s whetted my appetite more than satiated it.
