    @ Mark Suster – Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, and Ben Roethlisberger…the common fabric? All began their path to stardom when the guy in front of them went absent and they the opportunity to shine. Paige Craig came in and threw for 400 yards with 3 touchdowns… He got me 40 fantasy points!

    ….Knock, knock, knock, Paige is at the door.

    Cheers,

    Michael Witham

    Awesome interview.

    I think the biggest indicator for another dot bomb would be companies who IPO and have zero profit. Which is what caused the scare in the first place. Not angel investors or VC’s increase in # of investments. Just look at the classic example of Webvan.

    Zao, how close do you look at the underlining technology of a startup?

    Craig mentions the idea of an online multiplayer game that the military could access for
    training purposes. We’re kind of working on this idea. Check out the promotion
    video for the project on the following link: http://vimeo.com/13264517.

    Let me know what
    you think of this idea?
