Sonen Capital, IDEO and Healdsburg
A slightly trippy day
22 June 2012
En route to IDEO, Bay Bridge in background
With Ferry Building in background
The Ferry Plaza, where we had three meals this week
A kiss - or Narcissus moment in mirror?
Great start to the day with Stuart Davidson of Sonen Capital and Labrador Ventures. Then after a lunch at Ferry Plaza Seafood, we walked along to IDEO, for a meeting with their CEO Tim Brown, also a founder-member of the Volans Advisory Board. Among other things, we talked about the shift from Newtonian to Darwinian thinking in design and economics.
As I worked through the day, I was getting flashbacks to a deeper San Francisco: not to the Gold Rush, but to the era of the San Francisco sound (one of my favourite bands of the time was Jefferson Airplane), then the visits I made to the city through the glory days of biotechnology.
Later on, we headed across to Physic Ventures, from where Will drove us across to pick up Carla and a delicious pizza dinner (at Pizzeria Delfina), with The Devil Makes Three playing in the background, before we all headed north across the fog-topped Golden Gate to the Sonoma Valley and Healdsburg.
And the IdeaGarden, where we had heard there had been a murder in the drive. As the Prius headed up the drive, as if in the start of an Agatha Christie weekend, we saw the two corpses: of young barn owls. The story of their demise remains a mystery.
