Jeff to Nolan: you are fired

One of my favorite people in Silicon Valley is changing course. Jeff Nolan,  is leaving Teqlo, after a short stint. He left SAP Ventures to do something else at SAP and then joined Teqlo, a mash-up company. I wrote about the company and still think they are onto something big. Nolan, who is the CEO, however is firing himself.

as the single most expensive employee in the company it really doesn’t make much sense to be paying me when 2 additional engineers would do the company far more in the way of value creation.
