Quirks in a day of a Venture Capital Firm - 3rd December 2008

It is a common assumption that Venture Capitalists are an arrogant bunch by either never replying emails or always asking always probing.

Every other day, I would receive some quirky emails requesting for investments. Some are genuinely misguided while others are seriously delusional. I believe it is time to clear the air on what a Venture Capitalist has to wade through their email boxes on a daily basis. I will be posting up (on an irregular basis) various email solicitations worthy of a Simon Cowell retort. Enjoy.

PS. Do note the sender name differs from the sign off name.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I’ve a patent that drastically increases internet security.
For the realization of the system I need 200 million USD’s investment capital.
With this amount of money you can buy 20% of a new company.
You’ll earn 600 million USD’s per year.

Thank you for your efforts in advance
sincerely

Csaba Bona

PS: Please forward this email to every known Billionaires, investor.
