Wikipedia fund raising

Wikipedia fund raising 12/29/2003 07:19 AM
Wow, that was fast! Early Sunday I read that Wikipedia is looking for money to buy some new servers. I paypal'ed them $100. Apparently a lot of other people did the same because they only need $2500 more as of this writing to reach their goal of $20,000. So instead of suggesting to send them money I'll suggest you give money to The Perl Foundation or to the EFF. Their current "mp3 is not a crime" t-shirt is mighty cool...

VC Fund Raising Still Slow - Because
They Already Have Enough

VC Fund Raising Still Slow - Because
They Already Have Enough 11/03/2003 03:36 PM
A few weeks back I was talking to a venture capitalist who was in the process of raising a new round. Despite what you might think, he was saying it was ridiculously easy to raise money - because the institutional investors have simply allotted a portion of their funds for "risky investments" and they don't know where else to go. Thus, many VCs find themselves being pushed to take more money in some cases. He was even suggesting that many VCs are doing their best to hold back on raising funds, because they have too much cash already that they don't know what to do with. So, while it appears the tech market is picking up and VCs are investing in tech startups again (wisely or not), VCs are still holding off raising new money until they've had a chance to squander invest their current boatloads of cash.

Republicans outsourcing fund-raising
calls to India 09/03/2004 12:45 AM

I reported back in September 2003 that an Indian newspaper reported a local company receiving an outsourcing contract from the Republicans for fund-raising calls. The Republicans denied this at the time. Dvorak has an update.

Indian voices in Bush pitch - Geography error blows lid off campaign outsourcing

The Texas outfit may have actually got away with its outsourcing exercise if it had not been for the poor training given to Indian telemarketers who handled the job. Sources here said the India-based operation was exposed when one American who received a fund-raising phone call on behalf of the Republican Victory Committee wanted to know where the call was coming from.

“The Washington DC of Virginia,” the caller answered. Washington, the US capital, is actually in DC, short for District of Columbia, and Virginia is its neighbouring state

I personally have nothing against outsourcing to India, but it probably looks bad for the RNC.
