Wow, the ones on HN are going to make a killing.

  Well, they're supposed to know the startup beyond the i-saw-you-on-hacker-news level. Be able to argue why it's a good startup and be able to introduce them... But yeah.. I can see a bunch of Googlers bending the rules and reaching out to unknown startups they happen to see in HN. After all, there are incentives for both the startup and the Googler.

  FTA : "If Google Ventures invests, the employee that referred the startup gets the $10,000 in cash." Seems like a win-win-win for all 3 but hinges on one criteria -- How many startups does GV invest in ? Is this number expected to increase dramatically? GV in one shot will increase the quality (current employees won't pitch crap) and quantity of investment opportunities its going to see. Smart move GOOG
