A catch phrase will go here soon.

If I was doing a new startup…

Free startup idea of the day… If I *was* going to do a new startup I would go to ZeFrank and Amanda and offer them 5-10% of the equity in a video studio, raise ~$1M in cash, find two to four more Amanda/ZeFrank-level talent, and use them as the anchors to bring in 20 more shows. Get to 10M video downloads a day and you’re done–you got a huge business (10M impressions x average $5 CPM = nice size business).

No one has made the online video studio work online yet… and I’m thinking the time to strike is now. The broadband showed up two years ago, and now the talent is showing up… it’s only a matter of time before someone gets this right.

Of course, I’ve already got a great startup to run… it’s called AOL LLC.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
