Orange County Venture Capital in the Spotlight

I thought I’d expand on a post written by Ben Kuo (Venture Capital Booms in the OC) and point out while our county’s start-ups have raised ~$110M in the last week or so, we have also had our recent share of liquidity events.  A very big congratulations to Michael Hajeck and his team at SiliconSystems and to their new parent, Western Digital, as it was announced last week that WDC acquired SiliconSystems for $65M cash!!!  I also feel compelled to congratulate the guys over at Miramar Venture Partners as they were early investors in SiliconSystems.  Looks like a “3-way” win for Orange County to me…
