Bud-ding into Venture Capital
By far the most interesting VC-watching these days is on the back end, where old fund managers are being replaced by others hired to manage (and exit) portfolio investments. These new managers may well be the new VCs in 18 months or so.
The folks I keep my eye on are over at Kirchner and Company, where Bud Kirchner has amassed a team that includes Barry Gekiere(ex-Ventures West) and Les Lyall (ex-Growthworks). Kirchner is rumoured to have recently taken over management of a number of former Innovatech start-up investments, among other projects.

Its no rumour. Claude Vachet from Multiple Capital (formerly Innovatech) has joined Kirchner
Do you have any information to support your accusations? Web pages or documents? I notice that Claude Vachet has joined Kirchner but that does not mean that Kirchner is taking on former Innovatech start-up investments.
