Today we have added new ways to subscribe to The Venture Company, to ensure our updates are automatically pushed out to our readers when they appear. The detailed subscriptions are available from the meritocracy page, to which an icon has been added from the home page. The following RSS streams are now available:

• RSS Live Stream: new blogs across categories, intermingled with news and announcements (the full scoop)
• Economics feed: only the blog articles appearing in the economics section, primarily for policy makers and limited partners
• Capital feed: only the blog articles appearing in the capital section, primarily for investors in venture capital and those depending on them
• Innovation feed: only the blog articles appearing in the innovation section, primarily for entrepreneurs and consumers of technology products

The new RSS buttons on the meritocracy page refer to the unique type of information they appear with, the RSS button behind the live stream refers to the live stream RSS, the one behind economics only refers to the RSS related to economics, etc. In addition, users of Apple’s Safari can simply click on the RSS menu in the address bar upon which they are presented with a list of RSS streams they can subscribe to (pictured below). Similar menus are now also available on the individual blog pages.



Please note that our feed burner address for the Live Stream has been changed into http://feeds.feedburner.com/venturecompany, so please update your reference if you were subscribed through the old feed (it will no longer work).

The same information that appears on the Live Stream will also appear on the Twitter and Facebook pages of The Venture Company, to which one can subscribe by clicking on the respective icons on the meritocracy page, or other pages with social icons attached. The default behavior for the RSS stream subscription is the aforementioned live stream.

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:

"Fred Wilson and Tim Draper used to be guiding lights within the industry. Georges, you've cut the legs out from under it, and replaced the gas lamp with neodymium-focused xenon torch." - CEO
