What a sad direction things are going. Celebrities want in on this piece of pie now... suddenly michaelochurch's forebodings about 'VC-istan' all seem very relevant.
- pvnick 13y agoI've always loved reading what michaelochurch has to say. I generally make a conscious effort to stay optimistic, but I see a lot of truth in what he writes.

- lpolovets 13y agoI am not sure that I see the connection to VC-istan. This is a website that was posted on HackerNews, not a funding announcement declaring that all of the coolest VCs pumped tens of millions of dollars into the startup of a follow celebrity. If anything, the comments seem pretty negative and dismissive, despite the celebrity behind this.
- graeme 13y agoAshton Kutcher's been an angle investor in startups for as long as Hacker News has existed. Both began in 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton_Kutcher#Investments http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton_Kutcher#Investments
