Union Square Ventures: The Opportunity Fund: For entrepreneurs, this means that if you are leveraging the economics of Internet-based networks to transform some aspect of the global economy, Union Square Ventures can be a partner, whether you are just launching your service, funding rapid growth, or spinning your business out of a larger entity. We can work with you if you need $250,000 or $25,000,000. We can invest in New York, San Francisco, London, or Berlin, and most places in between. We hope you'll think of USV as stage-agnostic, highly-focused investors who can add value to your company.

We are going to have "deeply engaged users." We intend to "transform" a key segment of "the global economy."

Heck, to me it feels like this blog post was written with me and me alone in mind.

Working on a slide deck as we speak. Five slides.

To enhance my chances I think I am going to get to know Brad Burnham as well. I know Fred. I know Albert. Brad has eluded me so far. Scott Heiferman, do you do intros? Are you on Hashable?
