CMGI of Wireless

from the getting-serious-about-cutting-the-wires dept

This is a day old, but it hasn't been posted on TD and I think its worthy. High level Microsoft and McCaw alums have formed Ignition Corp, a company they hope to be the CMGI of wireless ventures. They are starting with a $140M fund. The money is being contributed by the 8 founders and partners such as Qualcomm, Softbank Venture Capital and Madrona Ventures Group. All right, so where do I sign up for some of that $$$?

    I avoided posting on purpose

    I actually chose not to post it as I thought it was more of a non-event. Okay, so a lot of well known execs form a VC firm focusing on wireless - but there's no indication of what they're actually going to do or if they'll be any good at it. If anything this strikes me as a lot of hype and very little substance. I'll be more interested in seeing the deals they actually do and if they make any sense...

    Or was it because SparkPr is doing their PR? Ha!
