Do Web Entrepreneurs Still Need Venture Capitalists?

“Yes, according to Robert Hendershott, a professor of private equity and entrepreneurship at the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University.”

“Take the Apple App Store, for instance. In a few weeks, developers can easily build an application, submit it to the store and immediately find out whether it has any traction. “They can vet the idea in the marketplace”

Seesmic: Why I don't use it..

One of the reasons I don’t use seesmic is because there is no interesting people there. Can you prove me wrong?

How about starting a site where invited entrepreneurs hang out and post video content?

Probably a dumb idea..

Is it hard to start a company you love and that makes money? Just follow your heart, he knows what is wrong and right. You don’t.

There is intersection between software that is interesting to write and that gets you money.

How to find a programming language that you love?

I know that I don’t like stuff I don’t understand and I like stuff which I understand. In college for a long time I thought I didn’t like maths and then this great teacher came along and I started playing more with it and understanding more and more, to the point where I knew more than other people, and by then I could say I was quite enjoying math.

So you have to play more and more with a certain language until a point where you know more than other people. Then you will start enjoying more that language.

Pictures of Rosetta

It happens ESOC has an exact copy of the Rosetta spacecraft and today I got to stand next to it and see how it looks.

Rosetta features a military grade computer processor defined in MIL-STD-1750A by the U.S. Air Force and is also used for example in the Apache Longbow Helicopter.

Almost as being part of the Dharma Initiative..
