This is a Sandbox

“ Taking this a step further, we think that an Internet media company (using just one example) can (and should) be structured not as AOL and Yahoo were or are, but instead as a loose collection of similarly related businesses (similar in philosophy of how you interact with users, how you build your service, how you view data, how you view inter-relating with other businesses), that work together - cross pollinate - in a number of different but flexible and fluid ways.

It implies a level of uniform ownership that I don’t think you actually mean.

No, I actually mean a completely non-uniform level of ownership in things.

@AWeissman I’m not sure that calling it a “media company” works here. It implies a level of uniform ownership that I don’t think you actually mean.

Sadly, and I truly mean that, I believe that the Y Combinator model is dead. The idea that you can put something out there on the cheap, get traction and then raise a quick “real” round no longer seems to be valid. While there will always be exceptions to this rule, from what I can see the market for these companies to the VC’s is mostly dead.

betaworks sez: why is “raise a quick real round” the required next step that means this model is dead? It’s one, but not the only, and sometimes not even the best progression. I think in this environment, in fact, Y Comb will thrive.
