David Crow: A Microsoft venture fund

  • Mark MacLeod · 1 year ago
    I see the benefit for Microsoft but see a few issues:



    1.) Would a startup want money from them?

    2.) Would a startup trust them to not take the idea sooner or later?

    3.) Would MS invest in a startup that's developing in a LAMP environment (I don't know of one startup using .net as an example)?

    4.) What changes in process, culture, etc would need to be made throughout MS for this to be successful?
