CTG rocking some VC style

As a seasoned member of CT’s blogville, having been blogging for 7 billion years and having been a multiple recipient of 18 thousand blogging and blog-related awards in the field of bloggable blogging, I pick up a few things, namely that SA digital entrepreneur bros are looking for cash injections, the ever elusive Venture Capital. Well, on that topic, my dear friend @swartperd recently made me aware of a fantastic, bite-sized VC site called Kickstarter, which allows the everyman to invest in the everyman’s dreams. I love it and have thus far invested in a couple of projects, including The First iPhone 4 Cinematic Film as well as a South African collection of bicycle portraits. Pretty sweet. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of my small but meaningful donations. Go check it out – there’s something very special about watching a project grow when you have a little vested interest in it. I imagine this is what having children is like, just less mission and more reward.
