Interesting note. Andy Weissman and John Borthwick are both alumni of Wesleyan University. USV co-founder Brad Burnham is from Wesleyan. A strong community of liberal arts educated folks making big waves in the New York tech scene, both on venture and new media.

Including Chris Dixon, CEO of Hunch, who has a MS in philosophy.
