10,000 views on The State of Venture Capital
Thursday - January 26, 2012. Filed in: Announcement
Lauded by many as the great guide for wisdom in “the industry”, The State of Venture Capital by The Venture Company has just surpassed 10,000 viewers. An impressive milestone considering the only marketing it received is the merit of its content.
The purpose of the presentation is to shed light on what prevents us from reaching maximum potential in the support for groundbreaking innovation. Because if we fix where we systemically fail we will regain access to an 80% adoption greenfield that will drive massive stimulus through our interconnected and global economy.
We have developed the framework for a more sustainable economy, our financial systems and Venture Capital that changes everything from the top, economics reinvented. It is not another plan to artificially adjust advantage or disadvantage at the bottom of the economic food chain. But a righteous way of dynamically and authentically balancing the merit of production and finance.
I urge you to review the presentation to avoid the instant death traps in the current model and ask questions through our comments system attached to the bottom of every blog or contact us via the contact form. Venture Capital the way it is deployed en-masse today can by economic principle never scale to meet the opportunity of the greenfield that lies ahead. That will become clear when you study our presentation.
We are honored to receive such positive responses to the cure that awaits, yet wish it never had to get this far:

Friday - May 27, 2011. Filed in: Announcement
You may have noticed we changed things up a bit on the web site, including a more prominent placement of our publications. Now all matters related to our company can be found under the about section, apart from being directly accessible through the home page.
We also discovered a large number of links in our blog to be broken, due to a flaw in our blogging database structure. Hence we went back over more than 5 years of blogging history and fixed every single link.
The services section has been removed, as our services are only available and customized to the investors we have relationships with. That process starts by simply contacting us.
