VentureBeat: Powerset raising more money

  • Marcus · 2 years ago
    I absolutely love the Party Crashers.. I ran across one of their videos this morning and watched all of them that I could find, on D7TV and Youtube, where'd you find this one! Hillarious!

    Even the people that work for this company don't think they will succeed, you got to love that. IF their technology so awesome, why do they need to license PARC's technology.

    The video was a little rough. I can't believe the last guy said what he did on videotape. The thing is irrespective of the party and whether or not it was a good idea/way to spend your VC money the company either has technology that works or that doesn't. And no one knows until they launch at least a beta and people start really pushing the buttons.

    If it really works then it would be an obvious buyout choice for Yahoo, Microsoft or IAC. If it really, really, really works then it could be an obvious buyout choice for Google.

    But that's a very big "if." Obviously some pretty smart people have put 12.5 million into the thing and have seen at least something that they kind of like.

    Like the guy in the video said, I guess we'll see in a year, won't we.

    What a lovely example of the Snark Generation the Party Crashers are. Snark for snark, sake. Yawn. One can only imagine their take on say Netscape trying to make the net available for the general public. "Ew, why would anyone want to be a nerd and spend that much time with their computer, duh?"

    On the other hand, this video proves that even pre-product start ups need a VP of Marketing teaching their founders how to position the company and their (coming) technology.

    Messaging 101.

    Would someone please get these guys polished. What was that last guy thinking and speaking?
    Was that the new business english? Does he talk often - put a lid on it!

    Note to single guys. Don't talk to Sarah while drunk or else you'll probably risk job security.

    Why is Powerset *really* eager to raise more financing?
