What The Co-Founder Of Elevation Learned From The Jam Scene
BY ROGER McNAMEE
In 1980, I was in a band that was poised to go for it when one of the core members chickened out. With my dream on hold, I took a day job in venture capital that worked out better than I could have imagined: During the past 27 years, I have been an early-stage investor in some of the greatest technology companies, including Google, Facebook and Palm. I'm also a co-founder of Elevation Partners, where my partners include Bono.
Robin Sylvester, bass player in Ratdog, sat in on Sugaree, Stella Blue, and Let It Rock. He was our sixth bass player of the night, which we believe is a new record!
The incredible Barbette Moonalice has created a video to document her work as a Moonalice street team member. It's a great "how to" if you ever want to help us (or any other band).
