2007-10-19 07:31:00 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer recently ran a story about a Seattle venture capitalist’s strategy: acquire a good domain name, then build a business around it.That’s Rob Monster’s idea, who the P-I says formed the Bellevue, Wash.-based Domain Strategies and joined the Boston-based Internet Real Estate Group as a partner.“Between the 5,000 names at Domain Strategies (OrganicSeasonings.com, IdentityLock.com and Anonymize.com, to name a few) and 600 names at Internet Real Estate Group (Software.com, Jeans.com and Chocolate.com), Monster thinks a compelling business or two could be created.

Understanding the mind of the venture capitalists
2007-05-30 08:27:00 I have been asked a few times by different folk about raising cash for there new company, I have advised them to start simple with other avenues of liquidity and progress to the VC funding only when you are in need of the big money(500k+), when you engage with the VC to raise funding you are entering someone else's domain, and area of expertise. You also need to remember that the VC company is run the same as any other company, it is run by human beings, the same as you and me, and some choices they make are based on gut instinct with a sprinkle of due diligence, others are made only on the numbers. The thing to keep in mind is that your deal although it is all important to you, is only one of many that the VC is working on and all these deals have to mesh together at that time for the VC company to function and make money as well, so though your idea may be great and they received it well you may still get a no, so be prepared and keep pitching until the "fat lady sings" and you s...

2007-04-09 07:33:00 The Rich knows how to leverage other people’s time (OPT) and other people’s money (OPM) to grow their wealth. That is one of the differences between the rich and the poor, as Robert Kiyosaki pointed out in his book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. When talking about leveraging on other people’s money, the natural reaction would be to think of getting a loan from banks to buy or grow your assets such as real esate or business. For specifically creating or growing a business, there are other options besides approaching the bank for a loan. You can approach angel investors or venture capitalists for funding. Tony Hung explained what is the difference between an angel investor and a venture capitalists: For those of you who think you have the next big thing, remember that you will need large sums of money to start it up. Depending on the idea and the industry its involved in, preliminary costs could run from a few thousand to a few million dollars. Of cour...

NOT UNLESS THEY USE MICRO ARRAY TECHNOLOGY ON THE DNA OF THE SPERM AND SPERMATAGONIA OF THE FATHERS "This work received the vast bulk of its funding from the Simons Foundation, which generously supported the research when it was little more than an idea and a technique," Wigler said. Supporters of the research included the Simons Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health, Autism Speaks, Cure Autism Now, and the Southwestern Autism Research and Resource Center. "This discovery sets a new framework for understanding, diagnosing and potentially treating autism," said CSHL President Bruce Stillman.
