Todd (generally pronounced T-a-r-d on account of his semi-disguised Brooklyn origins), the CEO of AVP (American Venture Partners), the leading VC in the TMT space was decked out in full Gap business casual.

As we neared the end of the meeting and started to arrange a follow-up, he reached into his button-down J Crew shirt pocket and pulled out a piece of stylish origami.

"Sorry about the reversion to legacy technology, guys. IT can't seem to figure out getting my Palm to synchronise with two desktops."
