Welcome

Early stage investments in creative and well executed ventures.

Get yourself funded

Why Isn’t There A Network or Hub Connecting Venture Capitalists With Startups? Well that’s just the question that AsktheVC tried to answer with this blog post. The article was interesting but the comments suggested a few links that I thought readers might be interested in. Know of other companies that connect investors to entrepreneurs? Send them to me and I’ll post them.

    Wow, thanks for actually putting down some useful information regarding that discussion. I wasn’t following your blog at the time, but it seemed most people at the time on both sides were mainly ranting. =)

    I think you’ve got the biggest ones. There’s also
    - couchtycoon.net (german) - not quite finished perhaps?
    - tradevibes.com - a lot like crunchbase, but with discussions, and more centered around evaluation of the company for investment/interest purposes than just information

    To me there’s definitely something missing in this space. So many unfortunate students end up sucked into the corporate world, never to venture out on their own. So much fun and happiness that could have been had, and so much potential value possibly never created.
