Does anyone know any venture capitalists?

[R3C]

We seriously need to start our own game company. I'm serious. Do any of you realize the seriousness of the situation? Seriously. All we'd have to do is gather the m0nX0r Collective (including the ones that won't even set foot in the lair,) produce some kind of amazing tech demo for a game we're planning to produce. Then either a venture capitalist or a larger game company will buy us out, assimilate us and give us cushy positions, titles, etc. There is no reason our group of talented individuals couldn't pull something like this off, except maybe our lack of organization. We have musicians, artists, coders, QA people, infrastructure people, etc. We all have excellent ideas on a fairly regular basis. Can anyone think of a good reason why this hasn't been done yet? Between all of us we have a very very impressive portfolio. Other, stupid groups of people have done this and become quite rich. Then they get jaded or bored and go start a similar project elsewhere. I think we're all just a bunch of lazy bastards. All we need to do is get some startup capital (there are even government grants to start businesses.) Jesus McFuck. I deal with idiot developers all day, and out of all of them, I haven't met anyone with the skills of we and the people we know.

Our problem is we spend too much time playing video games.

I think if we want to really get serious we need to talk to someone with business experience. That is the one thing we seem to be missing. Someone that knows how to write up a business plan to show to potential investors.

... ran it by my contact at theMediaexperience [TEE HEE HEE] I haven't heard back. He's had to deal with several such people on many occasions.
