Angel Customers - A New Breed of Investors?
2008-05-07 23:57:00
Angel Customer - An individual customer or a client of a product or a service who invests his or her own money into the startup providing those services. Sounds crazy? It shouldn't. Just think about it. How good would you think a product or service must be if one or more customers using it is willing to invest his/her money into the company behind it. Darn good! I personally would atleast think so. Such an act is definitely an excellent form of attestation to the product/service and would stand as a great testimony beyond doubt. Still think I'm crazy? ;-) Check this out - WhyPark.com says it raised US$230K in angel funding from one of its customers - an investor and domainer named Alan Macomber. Do we have any "Angel Readers" on Startups.in ? If yes, let's talk ;-) We'd love to have you join our bandwagon.

Stars and Startups
2008-03-24 06:06:00
Undoubtedly, celebrities and movie stars enjoy a special stature all over the world but when it comes to India they are treated like demigods and may be in some cases equal to Gods. It is common for stars and celebrities to capitalize on this kind of popularity by way of endorsing brands etc. But again, when it comes to India the enormous popularity of some super stars has also led to prominent political careers. For example, in Tamil Nadu, where the Tamil film superstars Sivaji Ganesan, M. G. Ramachandran, J. Jayalalitha etc., who have ruled Tamil Nadu as the Chief Minister while the Telugu cinema superstar N. T. Rama Rao enjoyed a similar political career in Andhra Pradesh.
