BoomTown Clarifies Ron Conway’s Clarification of His Super Angel Fit

Now comes the backpedaling. Of course.

Today, well-known Silicon Valley angel investor sent a missive to his favorite missive publisher, TechCrunch.

It was a “clarification” to his earlier “leaked” email to Super Angels, in which he lambasted them for a controversial dinner at Bin 38.

At which one of his partners at SV Angels was in attendance. At Conway’s insistence, as it turns out.

Oops.

Thus, after the first decoding, here is the final one and then it’s time to leave this circus to the panel tomorrow at TechCrunch’s Disrupt conference:

Ron wrote: Last Thursday Tech Crunch published a leaked email from me to some angel investors who attended the Bin 38 dinner.

I would like to clarify some confusion from that email.

David Lee, my partner at SV Angel did not want to go the Bin 38 dinner. We talked and then agreed that he should go.

David Lee shares the same passion and satisfaction as I do in helping entrepreneurs bring their innovation to fruition and that’s why we work together and I am proud to call him a close friend and partner.

This is the last time I am going to say anything about this topic since we must focus our attention back where it belongs…with the entrepreneurs and helping them build great companies!

Translation: Jazz hands!
