• Dear Mr. Needleman,
  This article ties in neatly to your rant that you reference at the very end. I disagreed with the rant, but I agree with parts of this article. Personally, I think that 300K is a nice noise to listen to - especially if it's generated monthly, and there are only two or three people humming along to make that tune happen. In a way, Jeff Clavier may be right - maybe the money is rather small - compared to what he and his associates can provide. But - I also think that other headaches come into play (like giving away a percentage of the company, etc.) when accepting larges sums of cash from investors; it almost "kills" the motivation behind the dream. As to your ?bet big? rant, I think that these small ideas evolve into larger ideas. Facebook wasn?t so much to look at in the beginning. It was a small idea. As soon as the API came out - it became the poster child for everything Web 2.0. That?s how I see these small, near molecular, almost atomic ideas at the very start. Something small - that can become something very big, over time (you have to crawl before you can walk, run, drive, fly?etc.). In my opinion, Jeff and company are putting their money in the right places, albeit small places. In reply to: "Web 2.0 VC to start-ups: Your income is "noise""
