We\u2019re coming at you live from TechCrunch\u2019s Early Stage in Boston. Darrell and Becca are joined onstage by Russ Wilcox <\/a>who founded E Ink and is currently a partner at Pillar VC<\/a>. They discussed how Russ navigated multiple economic downturns and eventually sold E Ink to Amazon, why he made the change from founder to VC, and how he can usually tell within the first two minutes of a meeting if he will invest.<\/p>\n
