I agree that those three guys were a bunch of idiots and was especially

amused by a comment from one of them after they 'got' their funding - on the

lines of 'So when can you get the site up then'. Anyway, that's enough eye

scratching from me and good luck to them - if they get to IPO I'll buy them

a drink.


I was more concerned about the image they portrayed about start-ups and more

so Asian people. I am Asian myself and thought that the concentration of

footage on these guys was too much and gave a very very bad impression to

the Asian business scene.


We are an Internet incubator with myself alone having played with and made a

career out of interactive electronic communications since I was knee high. I

think I know what I'm doing and have produced a couple of award winning

applications and have links with Asian development teams who could pi$$ on

European skills. However (this may upset many people) I have found that

non-European Asians do not have marketing skills and this is there greatest

limitation in terms of self growth but a huge opportunity in terms of

outsourcing for buyers.


I think I'm waffling again and will stop - but ask for this discussion to

continue for a while.

I particularly liked the 3 chaps who were looking for �0.5m funding for a

mainstream, b2c & b2b renting & selling property web service, who stated in

a presentation to a VC that the �0.5m seed financing would fund all the

online and offline marketing / development."
