A catch phrase will go here soon.

Five killer domains I own… looking for technical co-founders.

10/15/2010
Five killers domain I own (and what I paid):

kokua.com (5k) (to help in hawaiian)

- 20.com (70k) (20 means location on radio)

aday.com (40k) (as in joke.aday.com, "…. A day.")

- lowimpact.com and noimpact.com (10k)… wanted to do a green blog.

If there were technical founders who wanted office space, angel backing and me as a founder/partner, I'd consider using one of the domains. You would have to be willing to live/work in Santa Monica (a really nice place to live fyi), I'd be open to any pitches.

i had my own ideas for each domain, but with Open Angel Forum booming (8 cities, 24 events a year… going to 12 cities, 36 events per year next year), Mahalo booming (20m uniques a month) and ThisWeekIn.com on fire (25 shows, $1m run rate, 14 employees in < 6 months) I'm too busy to lead new companies.

oh yeah, i'm hosting the launch conference on Feb 23rd and 24th and launching the email newsletter. so, that's like five companies in a year on top of my 15 angel investments a year.

ping me jason at mahalo.com

(note: i can't sign any NDAs or anything, i invest in a lot of companies, etc. so please don't think that any idea you send is really that important… what i really need is good ideas and a great teams in great markets. most ideas iterate and pivot… so really i'm looking for technical co-founders who want to own some equity over time in a killer idea based on one of my killer domains. also, i have some killer ideas for them).

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
