Chris, Come In At 50K


Fred, How About Some Money?
Future Of The Internet: Easy, Says Dixon
Hola Charlie, A 50K Opportunity
FinTech: I Am Loving The Term

Chris. I want you to come in at 50K. This offer does not come with a Board seat, obviously. But maybe Fred Wilson will keep a good watch over your money as well, don't you think?

You are my favorite Super Angel. You are right up there with Caterina Fake. I have been reading about Super Angels for months now. There is a part of me that wants to know what they are all about, and hence the offer.

Hola Charlie, A 50K Opportunity


Fred, How About Some Money?

Charlie, here's what I believe an opportunity of a lifetime for you and your firm. This is First Round Capital's chance to step into FinTech.

FinTech: I Am Loving The Term


This is not the first time I am feeling like Fred Wilson stole my idea.

Fred Wilson: Calling All Fintech Entrepreneurs

What Got Me Started With FoodSpotting

It was this comment by Amy. This comment is what got me started with FoodSpotting. I felt compelled to respond to the comment, and the only way you could leave a comment was by creating an account, which was easy to do, took less than 10 seconds, and next thing you know I am on FoodSpotting.


But once I got my account I spent over an hour creating my profile, uploading a picture, browsing around. I discovered I really like dumplings. I can already see why FoodSpotting would make for an intense eating experience.

Future Of The Internet: Easy, Says Dixon

Chris Dixon: Predicting The Future Of The Internet Is Easy: Anything It Hasn't Yet Dramatically Transformed, It Will.: Facebook’s “private” IPO with Goldman Sachs ..... the dot com crash of 2000 disillusioned many .... Already transformed: music, news, advertising, telecom. Being transformed: finance, commerce, TV & movies, real estate, politics & government. Soon to be transformed (among many others): healthcare, education, energy. .... The modern economy runs primarily on information, and the Internet is by orders of magnitude the greatest information mechanism ever invented. ..... People, companies, investors and even countries can’t stop this transformation.
I have ready many blog posts by Chris Dixon, and the content of most of them have been super, but the title of this blog post stands out. This is the best title to a Chris Dixon blog post yet of all I have read yet. It is bold, it is obvious. There is no beating around the bush. It is simple. Simple enough that makes you feel as to why you yourself did not push out that blog post title. You could have had it to your name.

This is Chris Dixon's best blog post of all I have ever read, and I have read a few.
