Using Blogs To Dispense Venture Capital

Posted by timothy on from the two-birds-with-one-buzzword dept.

prostoalex writes "The New York Times describes how Tim Draper, a founder of Draper Fisher Juvetson venture capital firm, is trying out a new approach to finding the next entrepreneurial superstars. In his Web log (which NYTimes mysteriously never links to, but it's on AlwaysOn-Network), Draper asks the readers to leave the comments with their billion-dollar ideas. The winners of this pitch were selected recently, and just reading the comments with innovative ideas is quite interesting."

    Remember those commercials for BASF? "We don't make the things you use; we make the things you use better." Slashdot could have a similar advertisement: "We don't make the things you use; we take the things you use and imagine Beowulf clusters of them!"

    Can I have some money now please?
