According to a WSJ 2/24/09 article:
Entrepreneurs Can Lead Us Out of the Crisis
"Only entrepreneurs have the flexibility, the freedom and the risk-everything ambition to find the path back to prosperity in a rapidly changing, technology-driven global economy."...
"- The marquee venture capitalists have little time nor inclination anymore to invest seed capital in early stage companies. The real heroes these days are the nonprofessional investors -- the "Angels." These folks aren't always the high net worth people we imagine, and often they aren't as sophisticated as we think."
Ouch! Of course, not being a "marquee venture capitalist", I am not really the target of those comments, and will happily continue to invest in seed and early stage companies. So rest assured, you can continue to throw at me inane ideas without markets!
