In on the Ground Floor

I had some similar thoughts in a post What If.  What if you could get in on the ground floor of an internet start-up like Twitter? Even only taking a tiny percentage would be worth a LOT today.

This time there's a group that has a better idea of what it would like to accomplish, appropriate scope, and a real formulation for sharing private equity in internet start-ups by helping them get off the ground and spreading the word for a starting user base.


The company is Wahooly and I'm proud to say that I am one of the 27,000+ initial members.  According to CEO Dana Severson, some 250 start-ups applied but only 200 will be accepted the first year.

About 50 internet start-ups per quarter will run their paces through the initial members, some having a limited number of people.  The first round of start-ups will be provided to members some time later this month.

Severson joined David Domzalski on Financial Bin Radio for an interview explaining the overview of Wahooly.  Check out the interview here.

Happy New Year 2012

It's been a long year and a half. So Happy New Year 2012 (and I don't care if that's somehow politically incorrect).

I've had a good number of articles come to mind but obviously didn't sit down and formulate posts for them.

I'm still challenged to make articles appropriate length for blog and status update readers. I'm still not interested in abstracting or summarizing things I find online to force them through my blog. I've clicked on such and gotten an abstract with a link to a more official blog with summary and yet another link to the real content. (Really???)

The world is very different from last January, and I feel it will be extremely different again next January.

So for the sake of brevity I will wrap this up as a New Year's post and plan to blog individual items as they come to me.
