In Memoriam: Dick McGlinchey
Very saddened to learn that Dick McGlinchey, a Boston-area marketing pro focused on VC firms and early-stage companies, passed away last Wednesday night from a heart attack. Dick also had been suffering from a progressive neurological disease called Multiple System Atrophy.I first got to know Dick when he was in charge of marketing for Battery Ventures (1999-2004). He later continued to work with various VC firms and early-stage companies. Extremely generous with his time, expertise and advice. He also didn’t mind swapping industry gossip, which is a great way to make sure reporters pick up the phone when you’ve got something to pitch. Really just a wonderful guy, and someone I was honored to be able to call a friend.
