Venture Models That Work
from the in-theory... dept
A new report has come out that suggests we're moving into an age of third generation venture capital firms. Of course, the report makes these 3GV firms sound like incubators that actually work. Basically, they're talking about venture firms that offer additional services to their investments. It's a bit amusing to see this while everyone else is trashing the whole incubator concept. As far as I can tell, they're saying that the right model is an incubator, but not the bad incubators. That's very helpful.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

And they weren't doing this before? Well, then certainly, this new-found wisdom will bring forth a bright future for us all. Personally, I hope the string of failures continue, teach both people with shoddy, half-thought out ideas to research a bit more and have a better idea of what business is all about, and also investors who think they can throw money blindly and more will come flying back at them.
