I think he knew that trick years ago:

"Prior to Venrock, Mr. Garnett served as senior vice president of Worldwide
Marketing and Business Development with Oracle Corporation, reporting to
Larry Ellison, in addition to being a member of the Executive Management
Committee."

Have a look at the members of the board:

"Joining Mr. Garnett on the board of Ingres Corporation will be Mark
Barrenechea of CA, Michael Rocha formerly of Oracle, and David Helfrich of
Garnett & Helfrich Capital. [snip] Prior to CA, Mr. Barrenechea was senior
vice president of Applications Development at Oracle Corporation, a member
of the Executive Management Committee, and reported directly to Larry
Ellison."

With the mindset of Oracle, maybe?
