Compensation at VC-Backed Companies
2007-06-04 10:46:00 Fresh off the rousing success of their Term Sheet series, the guys at AskTheVC have begun tackling the issue of compensation at VC-backed companies.This is must-read stuff for any entrepreneur in the process of raising venture capital, or who already has raised venture capital.After all, who else are you going to ask if you?re getting screwed over? Your own VCs?A few highlights from what?s been posted so far:Compensation Before Raising Money: ?Don?t be greedy on cash compensation. There is nothing that turns off a VC more than seeing a pre-revenue, pre-funded company where the employees are making market salaries??Deferred Cash Compensation: ?Be careful about expectation setting here ? while some VCs will respect this arrangement, if this deferred compensation number starts to grow, as a condition of the financing the VCs will often require some or all of the deferred comp to be converted into equity??Equity Compensation Terms: ?The standard vesting terms for a venture-backed compan...

Science of Bubblishness, Mohalo and Blogs that Talk!
2007-06-01 11:30:00 Mahalo.com, the latest company from entrepreneur Jason Calacanis, launched, with a stripped-down search engine designed to handle only the most popular requests in widely appealing categories.Focused on areas such as travel, music, television, movies, cars, food, health, news and sports ? and filtered with the help of a team of 40 employees in Santa Monica, Calif. ? the limited results are meant to avoid the spam and other junk results that clog up the other search engines. They aim to fulfill the Web?s most repeated requests.By cherry-picking only the most popular 10,000 search terms, it can organize results in the form of a more organized, thoughtful list about your search term?s attributes.The challenge here, though, is that dozens of other search engines have launched to tackle specialized search already, including shopping search engines, job search engines, travel engines and engines like Hakia that organize results in similar ways to Mahalo.Moreover, there are other sites tha...

Feed? 100 million for ya!
2007-05-25 12:48:00 On the surface, this looks like a straightforward story. Google is tightening its grip on text advertising with the acquisition of Feed burner. The rumored purchase price for the Chicago-based startup is of the order of $100m!Text ads in feeds receive so little attention from readers that Google, which pursued its own trial, abandoned the experiment. Feed readers, the applications and sites on which geeky internet users scan news items, often do not support the graphical ads which brands prefer, closing off that avenue for a broker such as Feedburner.So, why would Google pay such a high multiple, about 10 times revenues, for the startup? Probably, for the same reason it has developed Google Analytics: it is another way for Google to tie in independent online publishers. Feedburner provides an array of services to sites, such as email newsletter publishing, and the integration of external news and photos. It is more valuable as a publishing service than an ad broker.What's a Feed btw... More About: Burner , Million

Is the world turning from the death penalty?
2007-05-01 14:14:00 China executes more people than all other countries combined: unofficially, as many as 8,000, according to Amnesty International, a human-rights group.While the annual estimated number of executions fluctuates (1,591 in 2006?some 40% higher than in 2003), Amnesty notes that there is a global shift away from the death penalty. The total number of countries carrying out executions has fallen from 40 to 25 in a decade, and 129 countries are abolitionist in practice. America is one of only five democracies still to use the death penalty.via: Economist More About: China , World , Death , Death penalty , The World

E = MC Hawking ? / Stephen Hawking Now Officially A Total Badass
2007-04-30 14:24:00 Good Old College Days - I'm thinking about old college and Physics! CUT the Crap eh?Hawking, 65, perhaps the most renowned theoretical physicist of his time, has long suffered from a motor neuron disorder called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Unable to move his hands and legs, he has been wheelchair bound for nearly four decades. In the mid-1980s, he also lost his ability to speak naturally after a tracheotomy following a bad bout with pneumonia.As a result, Hawking, who is the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge in England, communicates by making small facial expressions, using the muscles around his eyes, eyebrows, cheek and mouth, raising an eyebrow, for example, to signal "yes." Technology has allowed him to communicate more extensively through a computer that talks for him in a synthesized voice while he chooses words on the screen through an infrared sensor on a headpiece that detects motion in his chee...

Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil!All the best Steve - You are going places!!! Pic from Wired Magazine - The caption simply says: Female member of Mursi tribe in Southern Ethiopia. Unfortunately, there's no other information, but a quick Google search reveals: We'd been hearing for days about the Mursi tribe--the one where women split their lower lip and insert a round metal plate. As we were repeatedly told, the Mursi are neither fun nor friendly. And while they've kept their distance from the outside world--largely in part because their territory is a vast expanse of rem...

2007-04-11 15:46:00 Lets start with Dictionary. Babe or baby, n. A misshappen creature of no particular age, sex or condition. chiefly remarkable for the violance of the sympathies and aticipate it excites in others, itself without sentiment or emotion. There have been famous babes; for example, little Moses, from whose adventure in the bulrushes the Egyptian hierophants of seven centuries before doubtless derived their idle tale of the child Osiris being preserved on a floating lotus leaf. What the Fuck ? Babes? If you are not a Silikon valley geek, skip these below: There was one ridiculous blogosphere storm which began with a female marketing guru accusing a male marketing guru of complicity in death threats against her; and ended, ridiculously, in a stilted reconciliation between them televised by CNN [ Thanks to Nick Douglas for informing me ].

Place of Focko?s People!
2007-03-19 09:52:00 Welcome to Fucking, Austria! ! ! Seriously. There's a place called Fucking, Austria. [So what are the residents called? Fuckers? And if they are mothers... :) ] Well Well Well ...It is near the city of Salzburg, and also the town of "Tittmoning". The village is known to have existed as ?Fucking? since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. ?Ing? is an old Germanic suffix meaning ?people?; thus Fucking, in this case, means ?place of Focko?s people?.!The settlement?s most famous feature is a traffic sign with its name on it, beside which English-speaking tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. It is a commonly stolen street sign. Significant amounts of public funds are spent on replacing the stolen signs. In August 2005 the road signs were replaced with theft-proof signs welded to steel and secured in concrete to make the signs harder to take.In 2004, due to the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name, a vote was held on changing th...

$3.2 Billion! Yeh Babe!
2007-03-16 12:48:00 An addition to the list of web giants: Google, Yahoo, eBay, Microsoft, and, um, Cisco. The network equipment maker, best known for the routers that direct internet traffic, is to take over Webex for $3.2bn. It's the biggest deal for a web company in the last five years, bigger than eBay's takeover of Skype; or Google's purchase of Youtube. Nobody saw this one coming. Largely, because Cisco, as a web company, makes little sense! The acquisition -- by a hugely important but rather boring hardware maker, of a sexy web conferencing service -- is akin to Sony's acquisition of a Hollywood studio. The execs will talk endlessly about the synergies; magazines will devote cover stories to convergence; and the combination will look increasingly vainglorious over time.Still, $3.2 billion, I've to sit down and innovate something.
