My pitch is for a website that lets you upload videos talking about your startup and then others can rate it. I want to call it something snappy. Like elevator.tv or eleva.tv or maybe vator.tv.
Interestingly, it doesn't seem like these sites do anything beyond that. How about a semi-private forum for potential investors? How about a feature request video forum for young companies that aren't locked into legacy interaction design?
The intent isn't to crown an American Idol, the big show's at TC50, but just to have a clearinghouse of the rejects on video.
How about some actual partnership with some VC firms? Mike's got the pull and the firms can spare interns to view the videos. The people that submit these crave legitimacy.
