Ray Nolan and Tim Draper
No, no connection between the Irish dotcom multimillionaire and the Silicon Valley VC multimillionaire (yet!?) outside the tenuous one of sharing some newsprint space today in the Irish TImes. I interviewed both for this Friday’s Business This Week section. You can read Ray Nolan on the inside story of the $340m sale last week of WRI (Web Reservations International), parent company of Hostelworld.com and reborn Boo.com, and Tim Draper (who speaks at TCD this evening) on growing up the third in a family line of Valley VCs, and what makes for a good investment.
On a more sombre note, my column is on the endemic level of text-driving (driving while texting), an activity that has been shown to be more dangerous than driving drunk.
