launch in TechCrunch, Venture Beat, and others: Hey Erick, Big fan of your work since way back in the Business 2.0 days. Thanks
for all the great stuff throughout the years; your insights have
become required reading for me. We were hoping you’d take a look at a social investing platform we’re
about to launch for startups with a social/environmental mission. We act as a platform, like eBay, for the everyday person to invest,
not donate, in startups. For example, 20,000 people could invest $50
each in HalfUnited.com, one of the companies raising money with us.
You can check out a post about the concept and the company, called
33needs, in a social innovation blog: http://bit.ly/fWGZF6 It’d be great if you’d consider chatting with me about what we’re up
to. Is there any chance we could talk for a few minutes? I’d be
grateful for your time. Again, thanks for all the great content over
the years. All the best, Josh
