no its moot

I'd ask you to tell us more about what Canv.as is going to be, however I'm worried that if you do someone will probably quote you out of context and make a story around it...

How do you find the time to do all of these angel deals while working full-time (presumably) at Google? Can you give a rough estimate of the amount of time/effort that goes into investing?

joshu5• 16 years ago

i let other people lead the deals. it's not like i'm negotiating terms or anything. i meet a few times, i try to get a sense of the team (i have a bunch of specific things i am looking for) and a sense for the idea. so, it's not a lot of time up front. and i don't spend a lot of time bothering them after i've invested - i'm available as requested.

i still have plenty of time for xbox.

i'm tempted to write more about how/why/etc to angel but i'm not very successful, so i feel like i shouldn't talk yet.

Ron Conway uses the "copypasta" angel investment strategy, as anon would say.

And they're hiring.

Where do you see that?

they've been quietly recruiting college engineers

This is not a complete list of the investors as I understand it... I heard from someone else that they were also an investor and they are not listed in this list of names.

joshu5• 16 years ago

I'm pretty sure it is. I'm the "someone else" if you heard it on hn.

davidu2• 16 years ago

Nope, this person told me to my face... and we would all know his name (which is why I'm not naming him.)

Unless this person was just telling me Moot was pitching them, and not that they had invested, which is entirely possible (that I misheard him).

Fuck. Yeah. This makes me really happy.

Poole will be sitting on the Digital Crowds Into Dollars panel along with Judy Hu, Global Executive Director Advertising & Branding, GE; Brian Pokorny, CEO, dailybooth; and Andrey Ternovskiy, CEO, Chatroulette.

Just curious if anyone could tell me why Andrey Ternovskiy would be sitting on a panel about (presumably) monetizing traffic. Chatroulette gained a lot of attention, but does he actually have any credentials to talk about revenue?
