10 Reasons Venture Capitalists Love Indie Bands

by Sam on October 1, 2008

1) Listening to esoteric stuff no-one has ever heard of makes you “smart�

2) Excuse to hang-out with a crowd half their age

3) Bands go nowhere without money

4) …Being the money-guy makes you important

5) Bands have clear business models and distribution channels. Oh wait…

6) Blogs! Blog dominated communications

7) Activity Epicenters: San Francisco & New York

8)  Schwag!

9) “Due Diligence� is still done over cocktails

10) Lots of skinny white dudes in t-shirts

    Ouch.. I hurt my stomach because of your funny pic. Ha-ha. Well, but the reason #10, I can't see any relevancy about that one with the title. How come that can be a reason of the title? Well, dude, I really love your blog. Why don't you share your opinion about yzyzyz? I really need it for my research. Thanks.

    Heh. Nice deconstruction of the appeal of indie bands to hipsters. I laughed.

    Liking indie music is fine, but being pretentious about it makes one look like a jerk.
