Web 1.0 VC Pitch Champions #
The highlight of my WikiMania experience came at the party on Saturday night, when RossMayfield and I won the Web 1.0 VC Pitch competition, judged by MitchKapor, BrewsterKahle, and JackHerrick. The pitch? Ross's first startup, which at one point had a market cap of $1 billion and a fat $60,000 in total revenue. Gotta love the bubble, baby! As Jack said when announcing the results, truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. (L02)
I did my part by doing my best SteveBallmer impression, only ignorant and more obnoxious. We may have been the only pitch that the judges actually heard, thanks to our shouting and gesticulations. Here we are proudly showing off our spoils -- WikiMania staff T-shirts and Wikipedia lanyards: (L03)
Ah, sweet, sweet victory. If only it really were 1998 again.... (L05)
