Embarrassment for Lexington
November 11, 2008
Rick Segal, A VC with JLA ventures and the Blackberry Partners fund had the following post about the pitches he receives. Unfortunately, a poor soul here in Lexington gets singled out:
“1 email with: “Steve Jobs has done an amazing thing with these Blackberry devices and my application can continue the drive for total RIM dominance.” Now, what’s cool about this one was the Steve Jobs, Blackberry and RIM words were all in Bold and different font. This was from a fine fella in Lexington KY. Yeah, [DEL].”
I am sure this was just a mistake and the guy knew that jobs and apple is the pairing but I assure Mr. Segal that most of us do. Just a small black eye.
