So very likely they knew exactly what he's doing. http://www.benchmark.com/sv/venture_partners/barton.shtml A lot of folks treat private equity as a "lifestyle" business (like a lot or realtors, only waaay better), so maybe he's just working three part-time gigs.

Rich has been involved with other opportunities from the very beginning. IMHO, Zillow's recent attacks are just the "have-not's" complaining. If you don't think Zillow has a plan and intends to execute, I think we'd be selling them short. If not by their brain power and gusto, all their VC money will guarantee that this happens.
