About WashingtonVC

Vision

We Grow Profitable, Innovative companies

Looking forward, the world will have cheaper laptops, iPods, iPhones, Blackberries, cell phones, Playstations, Xboxes, handheld multimedia, HDTV, digital radio, RFID appliances, GPS receivers and auto electronics, among other gizmos. These will all be connected wirelessly and through fiber optics to cheap storage space via super powerful processors leveraging TCP/IP routing technology and speaking to state of the art data systems in a grid flush with real-time social, business, shopping and entertainment connections. Billions of people will do whatever they can imagine electronically whenever they want and from wherever they want – quickly and cheaply.

WashingtonVC seeks to embrace this phenomenon of many more ones and zeros traversing the planet real-time and delivering games, TV, music, video, podcasts, chat, blogs, email, upload/download, RSS, search, and so on. All of which are delivered using HTML, Java, Flash, AJAX, Flex, PDF and the like, via open APIs with XML talking to MySQL, Linux, Apache, NT, Oracle, etc., and effectively conducting ecommerce and delivering managers real-time actionable analytics. The point is that no matter what you call it – shopping, ecommerce, Flash, VoIP, television, audio, podcast, blog, message board, wiki, chat, IRC, HTML, JSP, AJAX–it’s all just the modern display of ones and zeros on the future device of your choice. Easy as pie.

The top companies whose markets overlap in many respects with the WashingtonVC prospective and existing investments include companies such as Shopping.com, Myspace, Archive.org, Blogger, AOL, Outblaze, Yahoo, Freewebs, Google, Whois.sc, del.icio.us, and Furl. They overlap in the sense that all of these companies use practically the same technologies over the same grid, with the same goals of organizing and profitably delivering a variety of modern digital technologies to the masses and controlling the user experience cheaply and indefinitely.
