I like the post.<p>That said, I don't agree necessarily with generalizations (aka g13n's) about the beer industry.<p>While microbreweries are definitely (by necessity) commonly more focused on selling local and often focused on brewing more of one certain kind of beer than others, I think that focus just happens out of practicality and circumstance. Investing money in a company does not have as many concerns related to distribution and you don't have to worry about on-hand materials, method, and talent in the same ways. So, it's not as natural and common-sense to focus in those ways.<p>It is a good idea for <i>any</i> business (including the business of investing money) to either focus locally on a target market with a targetted product/service (like a great ale) or to focus on the market majority (like a cheap, drinkable beer). But, I think this specific comparison to VC is a stretch.<p>But, a thoughtful post nonetheless!
