“Ian Sigalow, a partner at Greycroft Partners LLC, talks with Bloomberg Law’s Spencer Mazyck about legal challenges confronting technology start-ups and model venture capital financing documents.”
Skeptical about efficacy of spending money on business process patents.
I am advising my U.S. startup clients to explore the exponentially expanding London startup ecosytem. Here is a list of entrance points pulled together by UKTI USA
For those of us who studied Latin, we often are inclined to use the Latin Phrase “Res Ipsa Loquitur (the thing speaks for itself).”
Here is the shortlist of NYC startup companies to watch. Hard to believe this list and its progeny will support all of New York City’s venture capitalists.
1. Fancy Hands: “A team of virtual personal assistants ready to work for you right now.”
2. Truth and Beauty: “An online platform that allows users to create their own personal skincare blends.”
[Are you excited yet?]
3. Adaptly: “The easiest way to advertise and increase engagement across all social networks.” A true meta-morphosis.
4. Divide: “.Enterproid has created a user experience that allows IT to manage the work persona without compromising an employee’s privacy.” Divide and conquer.
5. Loosecubes: “Loosecubes is a peer-to-peer office sharing community.” O.K,, I have actually used it, but is just a database.
6. Stamped: “A social platform that allows friends to put their stamp of approval on what they like best.” Breakthrough.
7. Codeacademy: “A fun, interactive and easy way to learn code.” Flashcards for Rock Stars.
I am working on the energy to complete 7 through 10. Please check back.

There are plenty of empty spaces in the Baltimore Orioles parking lots, and I am sure that Baltmore startup (now Times Square) Parking Panda will find them. Yesterday’s Mashable ink for this new “collective consumption pay us a commission database” adds further spaces at its angel table. As Mashable describes: “It was that driveway that [...]
Wisdom from @vruz “A different type of VC firm may be needed, one that is happy with fewer home runs or none at all because it’s seeing profits from hundreds of successful non-rockstar entrepreneurs building serious companies based on fundamentals, and less on traction->monetization lottery tickets.” A comment found in A Rational Internet Venture Valuations [...]
Pintesrest (online Pin Board, hailed as Facebook for Women), TechoLlama (brilliant IP professor with silly handle, so prefer his real name Andrés Guadamuz), complaining photographers, did I make a sentence yet? Certainly not a cause of action, I will take whatever odds on that offered by Bet365. We didn’t start the fire It was always [...]
“The taxi’s radio was tuned to a classical FM broadcast. Janácek’s Sinfonietta—probably not the ideal music to hear in a taxi caught in traffic. The middle-aged driver didn’t seem to be listening very closely, either. With his mouth clamped shut, he stared straight ahead at the endless line of cars stretching out on the elevated [...]
