The Pro's and Con's of Micro Capital

 

or... Should you take $6,000 from Paul Graham?

 

Paul Graham's Y Combinator program, Charles River's QuickStart and TechStars are all good examples of a new phenomenon in venture financing. Let's call it the Micro Round. Is it good for the entrepreneurs? Do they get good value from the arrangement.

 

Potential Speakers/Discussants:

 

Alums of the Y Combinator program: Alex of Reddit, Jon Resig of Java, any of Kiko's people. Has Charles River actually done any yet.

 

Classic VC's: Wang of LongWorth, Beisel of Masthead, Beim of Matrix

 

The Micro Funders: Graham of Y Combinator, Tang or WU of CRV's QuickStart
