My Investor Came From Outer Space

from the we-didn't-carried-away-at-all... dept

An amusing article poking fun at lots of venture capitalists who claimed they didn't get carried away by the internet craze and that it was always "those other venture capitalists" who lost sight of important things like revenue and profits. The article suggests that venture capitalists should be realistic and admit that they got carried away, and dammit, it was fun while it lasted.

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

    link seems wrong...

    :) that's why you need a revisions mode so that the community can decide which version is better.

      Fixed. I posted that one *after* I took some Nyquil before going to sleep last night, so I blame it on the effects of Nyquil and lingering flu effects.
