An iFund Applicant's Response to the December 2008 KPCB iFund Data Breach
- pedalpete 18y agoHey thinkcomp, I didn't go searching for what your idea is, and you didn't mention it in the article, and realistically I guess it doesn't matter. As you well know, implementing your idea is the largest part of the battle, so are you giving up on the idea? I would think that a man of your experience would move forward with the idea anyway, and not let this speedbump turn into a roadblock. I would also have liked to see (and maybe the community here could help) a suggestion as to how KPCB should handle the situation. You clearly understand that they can't just support every idea that they inadvertently made public, and I completely agree with you that their proposal of you promising not to sue in exchange for the opportunity to pitch again is worthless.
- thinkcomp 18y agoI'd love to work on the idea still, but sadly, ideas need funding. If I could have done it anyway, I wouldn't have needed KPCB's help in the first place.
- tm 18y agoHow did you get the piece on huffPo? Are you a regular contributor there? For what it's worth, sue those bastards.
- thinkcomp 18y agoI'd say I'm more of an irregular contributor...but I was invited to write for them a while back after I wrote my book.
