Term Sheet — Monday, March 9

Motschwiller began his investing career in 2009 with Summit Partners, before joining Kleiner Perkins in 2012 to focus on digital investments. The move to Meritech is a major upgrade, in the sense that he will be one of six equal partners.

"The youngest partner is 45, so I think they wanted to bring in someone a bit younger," explains Motschwiller, who is only 28. "They also have more enterprise experience than consumer experience, so I'll hopefully help balance that out a bit."

Paul Madera, a Meritech co-founder and partner, adds: “We recognize we’re not getting any younger, and have been thinking about generational change and how to better relate to the younger entrepreneurs. We talked to over 40 people for the last 18 months, but Max is the one name we kept coming back to. Not only do entrepreneurs love him, but we spent a lot of time together as a partnership -- not just Monday meetings -- and we found him very smart and easy to get along with."

While with Kleiner, Motschwiller spent a majority of his time working on growth equity investments, although he also was utilized a bit by the early-stage venture team. Meritech last year raised $565 million for its fifth fund. Recent portfolio additions include Nextdoor and GuideSpark.

• IPO lull: There only is one company, Summit Materials, expected to price an IPO this week. When I mentioned the dearth of new offerings this morning on Twitter, it was suggested that there usually is a slowdown between 2/15 and 3/15 due to deadlines for showing full-year financial results as opposed to 9-month results.

So I took a look back. Last year, there were 11 IPOs between 2/15 and 3/15. In 2013, there were just 4. If Summit Materials prices as expected, this year's tally will be 7.

• Fundless angels: Six female Twitter executives -- 4 current and two former – last week launched #Angels, a new angel investment group to back early-stage tech companies. At the end of their announcement post, they wrote: “We’re collaborating together but will be making individual angel investments, not forming a fund. And, as many of us are still actively operating at Twitter (and will continue to be), we will not be investing in companies that could create a conflict of interest from a competitive or potential acquisition point of view.”

I asked Jessica Verrilli, an #Angels member and director of corp dev and strategy at Twitter, why they opted against raising a small fund. Her reply was that they had thought about it, but wanted to start small and had some concerns about a fund becoming a distraction from their day jobs. She added that there had been some consideration of an AngelList syndicate too, and that “we’ll rethink the best approach once we’ve been at it for a while.”
