What VCs look for in a company according to Jay Patel of NewMediaSpark speaking at bTWEEN at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford.
Keynotes from David Puttnam and John Sanborn. John was a mentor on the first Lab that I ever ran in 1996; at the time he was working on an online rock’n roll murder mystery called ‘Paul is Dead’ for MSN. He said then that his goal was to create the web’s first blockbuster. ‘Paul’ was never going to be big commercial success, particularly when MSN pulled out of financing content development, but it was a visionary piece of work. The BBC’s recent ‘Jamie Kane‘, a web-based narrative game about a missing pop star seems to owe it a considerable debt.
