It's probably dependent on the depth of the recession, and how much immediate monetization is on the horizon.

If/As the market gets worse, the ad industry (and others as well) will probably become less probably short term. Additionally, there will be an increased cash crunch, which may force bigger firms with solid monetization plans to go to VC's for funding, which may leave less funds available for startups - especially the ones with no business model.

I expect to have a harder time with funding if the recession increases

Magnusdopus:

I think you will all be suprised by CHI.MP

That's just my guess. They have quite a different approach, compared to all of the other Identity management apps out there.

Sometimes it's more about getting interest going then actually ROI up front. Also ROI may not happen for a good 1 - 5 years after launch.

I fall in line with Dave. A little cash and very creative minds will be the next cycle of killer startups.

The hand gesture we're using isn't "the shocker" as that is your index, middle finger and pinky extended. The one on our stickers is kinda of a cross between sign language for "love" and the hand gesture everyone throws at rock concerts.

Not sure about Pete's sticker but didn't the collegehumor guys trademark the shocker hand gesture?

Absolutely agree! Without variety there is no competition. Without competition there is no evolution. Innovative ideas will win at the end.... if they can sustain the recession.

I've been wrong before but even back during the Web bubble, you usually had a functional site before you threw your first party. If chi.mp investors are not livid with chi.mp founders for the party's ROI (not ROH-return on hype), then there's something wrong with the investors.
