From my understanding, the buzz you get from getting funded and who your investors are is actually worth more than they money they get. There are lots of great products getting built but there is no platform to launch them. Your average founder's network consists of what maybe a few hundred people consisting of family and friends and most of them non-techy so they wont be the first to try new things.

While a funded VC has access to the extensive network of influential investors, thousands of people and buzz from blogs.

Jack Dorsey is going to be one of the biggest innovators of our time. 2 huge companies already in his belt

This happens in many countries like Iran that try to artificially keep their currency overvalued.

In before, "Apple Killed The Desktop PC".

There are also a few well known blogs based here namely, Engadget and Mashable.

NYC needs a consumer startup to go big. Think a company the with the size and popularity of FB but based %100 in nyc. Right now we got nothing.

Brilliant idea. There are so many good products out there not getting any attention because they are not connected to the right people.

Dyson's appliance remind me of apple products
