According to data released (as an infographic) from Women Who Tech, VCs are crazy not to be investing in startups founded by women.

You know how after you throw a big party, there's this beautiful mess? Plates and glasses cover the tables, everything smells like wine and so many meaningful conversations are replaying in your head...

A few years back, Jason and I had the good fortune to sample the wines from Ketchum-based Frenchman's Gulch Winery, and last year we visited their facility to chat with winemaker Charles Smasne (and to check the winery out as a possible locale for a Dent-related gathering.)

No doubt Jessie Woolley-Wilson, the CEO of Dreambox Learning, is not the only Denter presenting at SXSW this year. But she is the one I just learned about :)

I love discovering ways in which members of the Dent community, without any additional nudging from us, find ways to work together throughout the year.

I came home to discover a really interesting article sitting open on my browser -- no doubt left there unintentionally by Denter (and spouse) Monica Guzman, thanks! -- about how to be amazingly good at asking questions.

Stefania Pomponi, Denter and one of the Founders of Clever Girls Collective (the agency that architected the now-famous #batkid escapadein San Francisco), had the idea to create a new influencer network when she saw an American snowboarder move to Russia because that's where he could find a sponsor.

There's a post up on TIME.com about how to get people to like you better. A collection of tips from Robin Dreeke, the former head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program range from the obvious (ask questions!) to the less obvious and more useful (best question to ask: what is challenging you?).

Yesterday a group of Seattle-area Denters got together for a tour of the Microsoft Envisioning Center (it's attached to the Home of the Future, where Microsoft explores the future technologies for productivity), and for a little wine, pizza, and flight simulation at Flyte, a Redmond-area startup building some very cool new flight sim technology.

On March 24 2015, Redfin's Chief Economist Nela Richardson will be joining us onstage in Sun Valley for a session titled "The Anatomy of Disruption". In anticipation of her appearance, we interviewed her recently about what exactly a "chief economist" does.
