you are hitting a great chord. we think one of the most exciting changes we are seeing is the area of impact investing....more than money. in a funny way, that's how hi-tech started...in the 70's it was about "the HP way", apple was about providing the masses with a great leveler...

see places like http://www.globalimpactinvestingnetwork.org/cgi-bin/iowa/home/index.html

as I told in another article, this kind of contests are very useful and important, however, I wonder if they really work for a TV show, because the special factor that could make it good for TV is the reactions of the jury and their discussions that sometimes are mean with participants, but it's TV and that's the way it works,.

wow!! this is scary!! I agre with the woman... this is the weirdest thing I've ever heard, not only because the idea itself is crazy but because there will be a lot of people willing to carry the bluetooth device inside of them. what's next? a chip for controlling people? lol, this guy seemed to be very sure about his idea but... investors laughing when you haven't finished explaining the idea??? that's the most direct definition of a NEGATIVE ANSWER.

it's rational since they already know those companies and in a time of crisis like this one investing in new commitments would be very risky.
