Sometimes you just knowwhen things don’t feel quite

WE MUST ACTWhen something doesn’t work

When people don’t like how something works…

its all about enabling entrepreneurship

and the freedom of innovation

…great things can happen

Current Venture Capital market

Venture Capital model is over 50 years old…

…and it’s going downhill

VC market includes $540 Million in transaction fees (~3 %, NVCA, 2010) A few VC managers CANNOT find all the good companies Business angel market is not effective

Market inefficiency

poor deal flow based on local/personal networks lack of information and tools

enabling a more vibrant market via peer-to-peer and crowd-funding

Vision The next Silicon Valley is not a location, it is a platform

and community on the Internet
