This is what they are saying about it:</p> <blockquote><p><em><br /> Vator.TV is a place where entrepreneurs can share their ideas with the rest of the world through video. We provide a platform for innovators in all fields of industry and from around the world to be showcased, benefiting from the opportunity to reach others that might contribute to their success.<br /> ...<br /> The video pitch is also a more powerful means for entrepreneurs to demonstrate their business which can often be based on abstract concepts.<br /> </em></p></blockquote> <p>Very unusual! But may be because of that it would work? First people already <a href="http://bambi.blogs.com/bambi_francisco/2007/01/vator_reports_t.html">stepped in</a> into this new thing. However, there are not too many of participants yet, even if Vator.TV already have had pretty nice publicity exposure with different resources like <a href="http://alwayson.goingon.com/permalink/post/9043">AlwaysOn</a>, <a href="http://www.profy.com/2007/04/07/women-in-20-ethics/">Profy</a>, <a href="http://www.thealarmclock.com/mt/archives/2007/04/bamb_francisco.html">Alarm:clock</a> , <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/why-started-vatortv-why-im/story.aspx?guid=%7BCC31F569%2D9BAA%2D4CD5%2D903C%2D17279B37E946%7D">MarketWatch</a> and of course in different blogs (<a href="http://nojobplease.blogspot.com/2007/04/elevator-pitch.html">1</a>, <a href="http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/ok-bambi-gone-but-can-someone-help.html">2</a> and others). </p> <p>On the sad note, it does not sound just <em>huge</em> like it was with YouTube -- but the reason for that is that it's very-very narrow targeted. Hopefully it will work out fine for entrepreneurs, otherwise it'll be just a useless technology for cave people ;-) </p> (read more) http://www.bosstalks.com/topic/63#post-144 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 12:06:13 +0000 white 144@http://www.bosstalks.com/ <p>A nice post by Guy Kawasaki "How to Get the Attention of a Venture Capitalist" at <a href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2007/04/how_to_get_the_.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2007/04/how_to_get_the_.html</a> </p> (read more)
