Simon Cowell & Will.i.am to debut X Factor for Entrepreneurs...
- tapertaper 14y agopg should just webcast a sample of ycombinator presentations. The "search for the next Steve Jobs" is a pretty active market. I predict competition for this show.
- cfinger 14y agoDoes Simon Cowell know anything about entrepreneurship? Can't wait to see him berate tons of super hard working people on things he knows nothing about.
- k-mcgrady 14y agoI hate to stick up for Simon Cowell but with his successful TV show (X Factor) throughout the world and his record label I think he knows a bit about entrepreneurship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syco http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syco
- obilgic 14y agobeing on the tv adds little to entrepreneurs success, compared to being a musician featured on tv is everything. So I am afraid that this show wont attract the right people.
- johnrgrace 14y agoIf you've got a product ready to roll that is targeted to "mass" consumers being on TV does ad value, I'd think having several million people see your idea might be fairly valauble to some, but not all, companies.
- binarray2000 14y agoNothing new... there already is a similar show: Shark Tank/Dragons Den. Also, Cowell and will.i.am are good in show business. Tech business... I doubt it. But, I'm gonna watch the premiere and let them prove me wrong.
- digitalWestie 14y agooh good god no
- dapvincent 14y agoI'm curious as to how companies believe Will.I.Am is a voice in the tech scene?
