Venture Capitalists perform @start-up Circus. Fat man swings!

Find us at www.nujobi.com When The fat lady sings the vultures will ping and ding , a ding, a ling. If you have ever performed (as I have) @the start-up circus you will realize that it is quite a joke. There is no way to prepare for this situation,nor can you avoid this humiliation. You must you must, you must create the act or go bust? Wait I am not a girl so why am I singing about my bust. @Startupcircus Fools are given either two minutes or four minutes to explain , (passionately or slickly) how you are supposed to make these Venture Capitalists super rich in five years or less. I mean it is really a drag to have a few short minutes to try to explain what you just spent a year at, motivating employees, researching, and investing in. The circus becomes particularly tough if you don't fit the mold or profile. At my last pitch event at Brooklyn Law School I am pitching to a group of investors and entrepreneurs and I have 4 minutes. I chose to go with the why I created Nujobi speel! UUUHHH it did not go over well.

Find us at www.nujobi.com Since I was explaining that I only went into the business by accident that I randomly discovered a non-existent media across the USA. A fact I could only learn by doing.

In the summer of 2010 long before the Occupy (another circus), two 50 year old men in a hand painted van blah blah. Ok Man we discovered that the media was either incompetent or was by agenda ignoring reporting and the fat guy/lady with the live bands on the corner.

We did get lucky with the media twice, but not in the usual manner. We had to actually go undercover and do some investigative reporting on some mining operations. We did get paid a whole $50 for our two week effort and it was these instances of a stubborn media and the first hand example of the journalist marketplace that made Nujobi a business concept. Reaction by the Venture capitalist was "why would you bring politics into a presentation" at the time I over reacted and got caught up in an arguing frenzy Duh I was supposed to be selling this cat on why he should invest. Instead I acted and told him that I really did not want his investment. It seems that my subconscious despises the state of the current "Death of a salesman" style of the start-up world was coming through.

I ain't no Willy Loman.

I guess I do not have much respect for the entire concept of getting up in front of a few men and women and doing a burlesque for your money presentation. At this time with the world economies are in free fall and job creation at it lowest we have a start-up arena that cares more about the pitch than the actual business model. I just do not give value to that process. A venture capitalist mostly uses other peoples money, businesses are first built with sweat and ingenuity. I am guessing that they had to pitch so they are transferring the sales pitch correlating that to what it takes to start and manage a business. Something is very wrong with the VC investment styles if we still are having a jobs crisis.

I am a veteran at running businesses and growing them from scratch. I can tell you that it takes more Steve Jobs than it does a bunch of people that cashed out of their businesses to have the vision of truly creating value. These guys are focused on exit strategy first and societal value added business last. If that is what they truly want then we do not have a marriage made in heaven. I am not stubborn I am smart and I know work ethic combined with money can win.

Here is more on why.

Here is a tweet that was sent at me  from an economist after I stated that, since the inception of Facebook, the economy collapsed! ...."From: RT @thejohnbrian @mark_nejmeh Part of me sees a direct correlation: size of FB valuation and degree of Econ entropy/uncertainty."

I also have stated that since the Ipod, crime has decreased. Hmmm, I suppose we are really evaluating creative job- destruction just by sniffing around each other right now seeing if we can work together.

Let me just say ," if we are to rebuild jobs and job creation we must maintain journalistic integrity". May the information flow , may the creativity regenerate from your wisdom.

Ok enough with the philosophy. We started Nujobi because we want to re-invent Journalism because journalism effects job creation. No info, no knowledge , no imagination , no "Slum dog millionaires".

We have presented at enough start-up events to know that most venture capitalists believe that it is over for the old model of journalism. The journalist should be rewarded with followers not pay. Bing Bong we disagree.
