Haha, yes, deliciously bubble-tastic.

Also, "VC firm" means something else that we're not doing. This is an angel fund run by bored geeks in silicon valley. That's it.

Does the money have to be freshly generated revenue (on top of either a $0 starting amount or $X existing revenue).

i.e. I have a business that generates $5k per month, saying you can use that towards your goal "in spirit" is pretty silly, right?

BTW have you heard of Steve Pavlina's Million Dollar Experiment? http://www.stevepavlina.com/million-dollar-experiment.htm

This sounds a bit like it only for startups.

Count the profit difference from changes you made in your business.

Million Dollar Experiment: I haven't heard of this, but you're exactly right. I'm glad I core dumped this idea here first. Wow, risk is hard in practice as a tech guy.

Ok. I'll pledge mine.

It would be nice to have some kind of buddy system to help encourage one another and share strategies / techniques.

Current profit: ~ $3k between my various businesses.
