VC (or Entrepreneur) Madlibs

It’s late on Friday (queue Amy from background: “Brad, it’s 6:10 on a Friday – get off of your computer and come play.”) Before I figure out where we are going for dinner, I thought I’d leave you with a Madlib to fill in.  Remember Madlibs?  Yeah – sure you do.  I know I’m supposed to tell you the part of speech to fill in, but I’ll let you wing it.  A free subscription to this blog for a year goes to the winner (uh huh – I know – it’s already free – now you are getting a taste of a VC negotiating tactic.)  Comment away – if I get some creative ones, I might even try this again.

After a long drink with friends .... (and with respect to Mrs Rigby, of course):

Ah, look at all the early traction !
Ah, look at all the seed stage funding !

Poor techcrunch reader picks up the fund in a firm where a rockstar has been.
Lives in a dream.

Queues up at the conf room, wearing the pitch that she keeps in a file by the door. Who is it for?

All the entrepreneurs, where do they all come from?
All the crazy fundings, where do they all take form?

Alternative ending:
All the entreeeeepreneurs ...
Where doooooo they rais' money ?!?!

Ah, look at all the passionate entrepreneurs!
Ah, look at the the wasted energy.

Joe Startup picks up the idea in a backyard where a dog has been.

Look at the founder, wearing the mask that she keeps in a box by the sink. Who is it for?

All the solutions without problems, where do they all come from?
All the beta customers, where do they all go?
