3/3/08 Recap: Hollywood Teams Up With Silicon Valley

The NYTimes broke the news that Silicon Valley has teamed up with Hollywood to launch a digital media fund. More specifically, Accel Partners and Venrock have joined the William Morris Agency -- and AT&T -- to invest in digital media start-up companies in Southern California. The fund will be capitalized with tens of millions of dollars and investments may be as small as $250,000. The focus will be on online technology including social networking, advertising and mobile games.

We’re thrilled to see Southern California venture capital investment continue to grow.

Other interesting stories from around the web:

Scott Shane of SmallBusinessTrends.com analyzed how the presidential candidates would help entrepreneurs. Hillary would give tax credits to small businesses that provide healthcare to workers; McCain would establish an R&D tax credit; Obama would create a clean technology venture capital fund.

In his BusinessWeek article “Why Widgets Don’t Work,” Dan Kunz outlined three phases of the Internet economy: 1) Receive, 2) Hunt, 3) Do. David Beisel of Venrock explores the implications of the most recent “do’er” phase for digital media start-ups and venture capital.
