Jason Freedman(@jasonfreedman):I am very supportive of everyone doing these types of split price rounds, at all stages. You should absolutely reward the investors that are willing to write the check without waiting to see who else is in the round. Venture is filled with maybe 5% of true independent thinkers, who write the check without hanging around the hoop. We get a dollar waited average of 1.5x step up on all our investments. Just from this dynamic.
