I advise <a href="http://gv.com">GV</a>. My wife is most happy about the companies in which I've invested, advised, or cofounded that have had great exits, but I told her this is about conflicts not track record... I remain unreasonably proud of companies cofounded with lifelong friends, students, and colleauges that have had successful exits including Lattice Data (now part of Apple), Inductiv (now part of Apple), Predibase (now part of Rubrik), and Numbers Station (now part of Alation), and Factory's first incubation Rivos (now part of Meta).
