Mathew's comments: Do blog networks need VC money?

Jeremy Wright · 3 years ago

Mathew, thanks for the writeup. It is an interesting question. I think "need" is a bit strong, however there are a number of situations where having funds at your disposal make you more limber, better prepared and generally more stable.

All the best, and can't wait for Mesh!

Thanks for the comment, Jeremy. I would have to agree that having a partner with money can often be a good thing :-) I think it depends on how you do it. But it's certainly a fascinating discussion, which of course is why we have a whole panel devoted to it at mesh. Looking forward to it.

Blog networks are pretty capital intensive operations ... the server costs must be immense. I agree, the discussions among the participants is probably going to be the most interesting part of the conference.
