“You know what would be really useful, is having a group of ambitious and forward looking venture capitalists allocating high risk funds and seeding smart startups with a couple hundred k as matching funds for whatever they can raise from angels. Even $100k or $200k would go a long way, and any [d]ecent entrepreneur can leverage the promise of matching funds to excite the angel community and get some traction. Hell, why isn’t there any stimulus money allocated for seeding technology companies anyway? How many jobs did cash for clunkers create? Think about a $3B injection into high-tech startups… Look at what we did with the Internet. Techpreneurs know how to create a lot of jobs, fast, and high paying ones to boot. Not only that, but we can innovate faster and better than the large corporations that are slow and heavy with bureaucracy. You want better methods to get into space? More efficient and clean transportation? Alternative energy sources? Ways to completely revolutionize media, education, medicine, training, and entertainment? Support the high-tech startup community.”
