For 60Frames, they raised money from Tudor Ventures. Linking traditional and new media has precedent in NewsCorp-MySpace and many other acquisitions. Linking traditional media intermediaries and new media ventures is an experiment, but a good one since proven professionals in the talent game can combine that experience with the spontaneity of new media innovations and the technologies making it possible to create and circulate content at much lower cost.

Interesting article. I am building an Entrepreneurs Investors community. Our idea is to bring to entrepreneurs advice that will help them in the growth process (without crawling for help). They can post their needs. Most entrepreneurs are too isolated and just don’t know what to do. They also do not have all the financial resources to ask for advice. We will be honored if you can participate to our community.

I leave you the decision to publish the address of the website (thestreetmarket.com).

Thanks and good work!

Agencies are in the transactional business and are all about getting top dollar for their clients which they do exceedingly well. They are ot investors/builders of companies/long-term thinkers. If the agency is actually contributing it's own capital then I would at least give it a chance, but that rarely if ever happens. Agencies also don't generate deal flow–they introduce talent to sources of capital.. THese are doomed from the start
