Angel Investors and Lumenlab
Lumenlab, the makers of the sweet eVo 1.2 Home Theater Projector (list price: $499, less than some bulbs for typical projectors AND it uses standard $35 overhead projector bulbs) and the new Q42 which has been all over the gadget-blogosphere recently, posted a funny blog post entitled “SLL (Single Lonely Lumenlab) Seeking VCL (Venture Capital Lover)” over the weekend:
You may have seen me stepping out with Engadget, Gizmodo, Digg, and others. But believe baby they mean nothing to me. I’m looking for someone to stick with me for the long haul, not just a one hour stand on the home page. And I’m not just trying to get your money, lover. I want all of you, including your fine expertise in consumer electronics and sweet management instincts. Ooo-wee! Your industry contacts are looking good too. Mm-mm-mmm.
I’m not going to post something like they did, because they took my idea (not really, and after reading the comment below I removed my direct solicitation from this post altogether), but I am about to initiate RedPost’s first ever outside-of-my-pocket-fundraising round.
