How I (try to) add value as an investor

This is great. Very honest and straightforward. The points were he can add a lot of value, are very strong, and the points where he can't, are ok, because the ability to help you close a seed round:

"made sure it all closed quickly, fairly and without incident"

Once you can get someone to literally be a leader on the round (there's plenty of me-too investors, that rarely take the plunge first) everything should pretty much fall into place.

The techcrunch nut is not too hard to crack and it's not a dealbreaker.

I wish all investors had a list like this posted somewhere in their linkedin/blog.

I think what he put in the "what I can do" category is exactly what a startup should be looking for to fill in the gaps. What he can't do doesn't seem to be the key roles of an investor (like getting your startup PR or managing the people in your company).

Here's an interview with him on This Week in Startups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWJAkjF9qnY

I'm one of those "me too" investors andreshb mentions in another comment, at least until I'm in the game long enough to have the confidence to lead. Can you contact me? I'd love to get involved in the game.
