I think VCs are pretty rare these days. Or if not rare, ready to invest in
things that have nothing to do with e-commerce or dot-anything (although .tv
seems on the up and up). How much money was lost investing in that company
that sells women's underware online? Anyway, I don't think Dublab's
exceptional archives would really mean anything to a rich man with a tight
wallet. But there still is a small chance. There are two mailing lists in LA
that are dedicated to web development and networking. One is called Web-405
and the other is called Goodtimes. There might be a well-listened VC that's
all about Blectum from Blechdom and Divine Styler.
