"You Tube" for Deal Making

I keep telling you that venture funds have raised too much money.....From MediaWeek.com:

John Byrne, BusinessWeek's executive editor and the acting editor-in-chief for Businessweek.com, said that company is looking to create a "business YouTube" essentially an online video hub for wannabe moguls to post short pitch videos for a new ventures or companies.

The site is also exploring the launch of an online-video-based contest that would invite anyone with a idea for a new business to submit a plan on the site with the chance to land $500,000 in venture capital funding.

(Thanks to Natalie Wozniak up in Minne-so-cold for passing this along).

Interested in your thoughts on this too, Jeff, because you teach Entrepreneurship. So do I. I'm really looking forward to this happening, I hope they get it together, I'm expecting it to be a valuable resource for helping students understand what it takes to start a business.

I agree. If it is an open process we all can learn a lot from this!
