Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson have launched Ask the VC, a new blog and information resource site for people wondering about venture capital and the inner workings of the industry. Both Feld and Mendelson are venture capitalists at Mobius Venture Capital which has investments in a companies such as Judy’s Book, eCast, Sling Media, Technorati, Start Sampling, and others.

We’ve started this blog to discuss relevant issues in the venture capital and entrepreneurial ecosystem. As you may know, we’ve spent a lot of time over the past three years writing about venture capital and entrepreneurship on Feld Thoughts. We’ve had great feedback regarding our regular posts on matters that effect people in our industry, as well as our blog series on topics such as term sheets, letters of intent, and 409A. We’ve also had a lot of fun and learned a lot from the questions that people have asked us.

Brad Feld has been quoted on DarrenHerman.com in the past (alongside Raj Kapoor, Alan Kelley, Nick MacShane, and Keith Benjamin) with his contribution to the posting, When to Approach a VC. Their new resource already covers topics such as How to Incentivize Employees, How To Deal with Founders Who Leave, and other interesting topics…

A great topic that I would like to suggest (and will suggest eventually) is, “What should early stage compensation look like for co-founders and pre-revenue employees? What is normal and what would scare a VC?”

Great site guys!
