I’ve worked at two venture firms and the legendary founders of both firms passed away in the last week: Reid Dennis of @IVP and Jim Robinson III of @RRE. Both were such kind men and fantastic mentors in this business. I’ll deeply miss them both.
Rest in peace James Robinson III, former American Express CEO and co-founder of @RRE https://t.co/PCWm58rSUN
