Valuation and Option Pool
Treat the http://twitter.com/home as the same as search index result architecture wise with ful search engine architecture. Might be a way to bring back tack.
My other idea was to use datastore apis like Apache CouchDB but that would still not get rid of the problem of finite queries only delay it..
crunchbase is very nice, i agree. but you know what's going to be really sweet? when adaptiveblue (or someone like them) automates the whole thing and makes it into a slick widget you can take with you anywhere you want.
and while there is no battle, i still declare you the victor. so congratulations!

The question I have for you is, "Is this a tool you would use for a first time pitch?"
My problem is I feel segregated in a community that does not have a lot of avenues for me to travel to your front door. When I create a start up the barrier to get in the door is, IMO, much thicker for me since I am located in New Hampshire and have a full time job to pay my bills which leaves little time to travel to hubs to connect.
If this is something that would help me gain entry I would pursue the opportunity.
Fred, from a business perspective do you really think build your own asset is the best strategy for TC? If so, this is pretty damning for the plethora of cross domain services that are emerging right now.
but from selfish perspective, i like that there are multiple people out there getting elevator pitches recorded and on the web. it's really helpful to us
Ask and ye shall receive. Every video on Elevator Pitches will also be embedded on the company's Crunchbase profile.
Actually, that was always the plan, we just decided to launch before we got to everything on out to-do list.
You can already see these now. For instance check out Songza's profile:
http://www.crunchbase.com/company/songza
or Meebo's:

Glad you like the site, and please keep the suggestions coming. :)
What do people think about the cartoon effect, btw? We did that to make it more visually interesting than just having a talking head, and to give these pitches a distinct look that would be recognizable no matter where on the Web people see them.
It seems that most web services which target aspects of entrepreneurship (pitching, interaction with VC, etc.) wind up with communities heavy on the web. Naturally this is expected as the internet savvy early adopters of web services tend to be those who build and invest in these businesses. How do we get more biotech, energy, materials science investors/entrepreneurs to use these very useful services? There clearly seems to be a dearth of users outside the web industry (vator.tv shows 624 web 2.0 pitches vs. 15 pitches for biotech, of which most of the biotech ones leverage the web for social networking, advertising, etc.)
I'd tell you what would be really handy for me. I have the idea but I need almost a structure or template to bring the idea out. ie what customers will it serve, what is the gap that it fulfils and how are you going to deliver it and make money on it - but with more detail than that.
Do you have a template that I could use to get the idea down on paper?
thanks,
Ralph
