I would like to take this opportunity to wish Healy Jones all the best and a great success in everything he will do beginning 5 PM this evening.
If you are reading this, you may already know that Healy is leaving Atlas Venture to work with startups. You see a lot of entrepreneurs giving up startups and joining VCs but not the other way around. I am sure Healy is nervous but having known him for about 4 years and having worked with him on a number of different projects, I believe he will do fine and come out on the top.
I got to know Healy while at Wharton School when working together on building the Follies Set. He is one of those few people who once commits to something will give it his 100%. In the last 20 months since founding Pixily, Healy has been a great sounding board and a trusted friend. Even though he is (was) a VC, I never hesitated in asking him questions that people would rather not ask a VC. He always gave his honest opinion and objective input. If you have interacted with him, you will know what I am talking about.
In the last couple of months, he has been helping us at Pixily by working on some marketing initiatives. We enjoyed having him on board and I am looking forward to working with him everyday.
Healy, wish you all the best!
