I've known Mike since Stylus Innovation. He's one of the brightest and most ethical people I've met in the business. Benchmark will do well with him as an EIR, and any entrepreneur who lands Mike as a CEO will be lucky indeed.

@Yikes,

Very well said - I experienced this first hand back in 2000.

VC's (and EIR's) will deny this till their blue in the face. Think "restart".

Why would any entrepreneur pitch to an EIR? If you have a good idea, they are either likely to take it, or want to run your company.
