Downhill Battle is raising cash 08/12/2004 11:58 PM

Downhill Battle -- the net-activist group that created Grey Tuesday, WhatACrappyPresent.com, Save the iPod and others -- are raising funds for the first time. They want to use the money to fund more ambitious campaigns, including creating PSAs that advocate increased media diversity and sending them on CD to independent radio stations and flyering concerts. I just gave 'em fifty bucks. Link (Thanks, Nicholas!)

Cory Doctorow: Downhill Battler Tiffiniy Cheng writes, "The Downhill Battle team formed a new funded nonprofit called the Participatory Culture Foundation last fall and today we're announcing our first new project and biggest project ever -- an open source, open standard video platform for making your own video channel and watching the thousands and eventually millions of video channels out there. We're so excited at the prospect of building tools so that people can watch high quality, full screen, independent videos with an experience similar to watching television while the explosion of independent videos happens simultaneously. Please check out our announcement to start paving a way to getting videos on your desktop."

Downhill Battle is the sharpest new activist group I've seen in years -- net-savvy, savagely funny, strategically sound. Check this out. Link (Thanks, Tiffiniy!)

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.

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...

Is It Illegal To Say You're Raising
Money?
12/19/2004 03:47 PM
You see stories all the time from startup companies saying that they're in the process of raising money from investors. However, the folks at Silicon Beat have noticed that this practice may be illegal. There are plenty of regulations concerning raising funds, and soliciting them from the public without going through the whole SEC process is a no-no. Of course, the companies in question will obviously say that a statement to the press that they're raising money is quite different from soliciting funds -- but depending on how you read the regulations, this might not matter. If the funding source comes by way of this press statement, then it almost definitely does violate regulations. While the regulations are there for a good purpose -- to avoid tricking gullible investors, this does make you wonder if they go too far. Statements to the press shouldn't be considered solicitation of funds no matter what, and any investor at such an early stage is likely to go through a lot more due diligence (one hopes) than simply reading about a company in the news.

Startups Still Having Trouble Raising
Early Rounds?


Startups Still Having Trouble Raising
Early Rounds?
09/13/2004 05:19 AM
Here in Silicon Valley there's been a noticeable buzz among both startups and VCs that the funding gates have opened again and, while it may not be easy to get money, there is money to be had. However, a study now claims that ve ry little venture cash is going into early stage startups, with most of it going to later stage deals. This has been a general trend in VC over the last few years anyway, as the earlier stages are often funded more with angel funds or smaller VC firms that focus almost exclusively on early stages. Of course, it also depends on how you define "early stage." What used to be called "friends and family" or "seed" rounds are often called A rounds to make them seem more important. Also, the biggest reason why this study may not sound right is that it's already out of date. The data seems to be from 2003. It's not entirely clear why it's taken nearly a year to compile this data, but it wouldn't be at all surprising to find the trend heading back in the other direction in 2004.
