Veraz Network Investment Relational Map. Notes: (1) VC co-investment ties between Argonaut, Battery, KPCB, Levensohn, & Norwest; (2) Link to public companies Chordiant Software (Battery/Norwest), Extreme Networks (KPCB/Norwest), & Infinera (Argonaut/KPCB, recent IPO filing); and (3) Link to private companies Friendster & IP Unity (Battery/KPCB), KnowNow (KPCB/Levensohn), and Reconnex (Levensohn/Norwest).
Veraz Networks People Map. Notes: (1) Promod Haque (Norwest) tie to Bob Corey (Thor Technologies CFO) via AmberPoint & Extreme Networks; (2) Pascal Levensohn (Levensohn VP) tie to Matthew Howard (Norwest, former board observer to Veraz) via Reconnex; and (3) Ties to Midas List: Promod Haque (#51) & Matthew Howard (#59)
Network Commentary: I have noted before that Veraz as a future star based on its relational ties to the Midas List members and multiple public companies. It should be noted that while Veraz’ co-investors have IPO experience together, both Chordiant Software and Extreme Networks (Battery/Norwest ties) did not have successful pricings over the long haul. In Veraz’ case, however, they add in the experience of KPCB, Argonaut, and Levensohn VP - this should add to their investment capital. Veraz was also listed on Always On’s Top 100 Innovative Private Companies for 2006 (one of 15 Network & Infrastructure Companies, including their brethren Infinera & IP Unity). In summary, the IPO for Veraz has an upside based on both their investment and board member relational capital. I call it a sleeper IPO because their network relationships provide a hidden strategic advantage that could result in favorable initial public opinion. We’ll see what happens at the upcoming IPO.

Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Tote is awesome.So numerous pockets - and not really those small, useless pockets, either. All of the storage compartments are a wonderful size and really aid keep everything organized. The handles are a great length and fit nicely more than the shoulder; the handle shoulder straps also stay put on my shoulder, which is essential when you are transporting a child. The bag seems fantastic, as well. Not as well fancy, but not as well casual. (I have it in black) The material is soft (can’t assume of a much better word) so it is simple to squeeze in to tight spaces - but yet it’s sturdy. I’ve a Fleurville Lexi carrier and I really like it, as well, but that bag is actually kind of inflexible. I feel that Skip*Hop will turn into my daily bag. It’s a little bit huge - so if you are not in to significant totes this may perhaps be better as an over-night baby diaper bag.

The heart of your writing while appearing reasonable in the beginning, did not settle very well with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer but just for a short while. I however have got a problem with your jumps in logic and you would do well to fill in all those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I would certainly end up being amazed.
