What an interesting thing for a highly-regarded founder/angel to say in public. I hope to hear about this on his blog too!

It's just an aside. There's nothing pending.

Thinking about it further, I think the tone is due to the level of humility you get from someone who is really experienced.

I submitted primarily because it's a great read but also because I know the firm Matt does a lot of work for (Sons & Co in Christchurch, NZ) is co-founded by a buddy of mine. They are all really nice guys.
