What about a ‘former but now retired’ and/or ‘group’ of BigCo middle managers? Asking for some friends..
Taking startup advice from a career BigCo middle manager is like asking a dairy cow how to win the Kentucky Derby.

Still waiting.
We will fund any startup who can 'disrupt' the way I have to enter my user/pass/LinkedIn every time I want to read a @TECHdotmn article

Reminder: if we are on a panel of previously important people, and describe the type of investment we LOVE RN, which matches *exactly* what you do - don’t get in touch with us. We obviously weren’t serious. Makes it weird for both of us.

Wait a sec. Rick Brimacomb, Founder of Brimacomb Capital, Proclaimed Venture Capitalist who ‘fuels emerging companies’, founded of world famous ‘network pretender investors connect’, actually made a single (one) investment over his career?! Preposterous.

Suggestion on voting criteria to simplify for busy readers: “Of these choices, which startup name do you recognize?”

Well I’ll be darned. Another startup beauty contest! We definitely need more of these - makes our job easier to skip due diligence and go straight to ‘no’.
Nominate a local startup for Inno on Fire, our annual awards show. https://t.co/RE7HMBcryQ

Normally a perfect use-case for one of those frowny face smart phone graphics, but those are also just our normal faces, so confusing. Who’s going to cover the deals we don’t do now?
Personal personnel announcement: This is my last week at @MSPBJnews (and also my last week in the news business.)

Uhhh. Hellllllo? We have, up to, three $2,300.00 novelty checks to deliver this wk but can’t reach any founders on their landlines this wk thx to this “#tcsw.” Anyone actually building a business? Just talking about it? No wonder we’re not the xyz of the Midwest. #boondoggle

We’d like to take a moment to thank one of our sponsors: @HammerMade shirts! - Helping old boring white guys feel “edgy” since 2012.

In no particular order: facsimile, icy hot, Rolodex, carbon copies, leeches, personal checks, novelty checks, petroleum distillate, malt shops and suit coats with jeans.

We prefer lotus notes on Linux. Also, that personal computer appears to be on the ground. Which physically, would put us in a ridiculous predicament.

Hogwash!
There's a rumor that the new @pingdotmn site might get to reveal the true identity of @aarpangelsmn. I've been scooped before, but this one is really going to hurt.

Look how the startup founder keeps its head down amidst the winds of naysayers, pretenders, previously important people and posers. Astonishing.

How’s the train fund going? Thinking about allocating some of the LP dollars while we look for our next winner. Nothing safer than rail cars.
