What is very interesting is the other options African-American start-ups have, I think there may be a type of niche funding for these type of web properties, not necessarily the typical VC route.

We won't last too long if we don't: 1)Break into the mainstream so VC's and other companies will work with us. 2) Support each other even if it's not the usual "entertainment site". Black websites has such a huge potential but it seems we are satisfied with making profiles on myspace...imho Such a vicious cycle…. We won’t last too long if we don’t: 1)Break into the mainstream so VC’s and other companies will work with us. 2) Support each other even if it’s not the usual “entertainment site”.

I went ahead and gave you a "reaction" (guess that's what they call it haha) so hopefully that helps! I added mine as well, we'll see if I get any traffic from it. Any free promotion is good promotion in my book! Pretty interesting site. I went ahead and gave you a “reaction” (guess that’s what they call it haha) so hopefully that helps!
