Venture Funding On The Increase...
Depending Where You Are 04/27/2004 12:59 PM
The latest set of venture capital numbers suggest that (as everyone has been saying) the wallets of VCs are starting to open up again as they see the IPO window widening as well. Of course, it depends on industry and location. For all the hype about biotech, VCs are realizing it may be safer to bet on software right now. Software received the most venture funds, beating out biotech, which had been the most popular target the two previous quarters. Of course, the bigger issue was location. Life wasn't so good if you were trying to raise money in Uta h, Massachussetts or Texas. However, things looked much better if you were located in San Diego, Florida or Washington state. Of course, in many of these locations, just a few big investments represent the majority of the activity - so it's hard to pick out specific trends based on locations where there really isn't that much money invested on an ongoing basis.

The thought process behind the Venture
Capitol funding of NewsGator 07/02/2004 03:08 AM

Every small company has challenges and one of those challenges is always money. Just as I have big dreams and ideas of where I would like to take Geek News Central it is limited by the amount of money I have to invest in the site. I have started the process of looking at hiring some advisors and possibly if my cash holds out having some consultation meetings with people I think can help us.

My curiosity is always peaked when I read stories about what VC's are looking for. I know from our refereal logs that several VC Firms read our site on a regular basis, but you need a revenue model to draw financial interest. Quite honestly most blogs do not have a revenue model. All I can hope for now is that they read our articles and my opinon points to find information on new technolgies that they can invest in.

Like many Blogs we have tinkered with ways to raise money and may be introducing a premium service in the future, but we have to work out the content details along with working out the details of who we are going to target that premium content to.

Most of the companies getting VC attention are companies that are either responsible for the software that those of use to blog. The tools we aggreate data with aka Newz Crawler, NewsGator etc. Plus the companies that analyze the information we put out. But the individuals down in the trenches producing 100's of thousands of Blogs are basically helping other people's dreams come true.

For now I am happy if I get a few donations to help us with bandwidth cost. Never planned to get rich but it's the American Dream. For some real insight to what a VC is looking for read his article great information and should give you a better understanding of what the thought process is. [ Feld Thoughts]

The Health Care Implosion

The Health Care Implosion 05/25/2004 01:22 PM

Mercury News: Health costs hurting more small businesses. The cost of health insurance -- ranked the top concern of small businesses since 1986 -- still holds that dubious distinction, a new nationwide survey shows. But the percentage of firms affected by those costs has grown substantially.

The health care system, or at least the insurance system through which our health-care dollars flow, is in a slow-motion collapse. This story is just one more data point. Sooner or later, we'll have to make a choice. Should the U.S. go to national health care, as every single other industrialized nation provides for its citizens? Or should we go to a totally free-market system -- not the bogus pretense of one we have now -- that leaves millions without care of any kind? Or something else? The insurance industry is systematically excluding people who will someday need care -- shifting costs wherever possible to taxpayers. This may be rational capitalism, but it's lousy public policy. I'm working on some columns on this topic. Let me know what you think.

Another chapter in the health care meltdown: Sometime in the next few weeks, barring a surprising turn of events, the state of California will formally approve the merger of two health insurance giants. An Indiana company called Anthem will acquire WellPoint Health Networks, the Southern California outfit that owns Blue Cross of California, for about $16.4 billion. The deal has drawn harsh criticism for many reasons. Not least is the display of raw greed by the insider executives who stand to collect somewhere between $200 million and $600 million in payouts after the buyout is concluded. More...

care reform 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

Over breakfast at a favorite little French cafe in Harvard Square today a friend who is getting a master's in Public Health at Harvard mentioned that under Saddam Hussein Iraq's entire health care system had a budget of $18 million and that under U.S. occupation this has subsequently grown to $1.8 billion.  How well did Saddam do with his $18 mil?  http: //www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/iz.html shows Iraqi life expectancy at birth to be 68 years versus the U.S.'s 77 years. Those extra 9 years are nice, of course, but they come at a cost of about $1.9 trillion per year or 100,000 times Saddam's budget.
