shameless self promotion
Well new approaches to being a VC (including blogging) are becoming a hot topic around the water cooler. Today's WSJ business section had an article on the subject. The subscriber only link is here. For those of you less who save your daily $$ for Starbucks, I have excerpted the relevant shameless self promotion of DGC:
"In another sign of their openness to new ways of doing things, all but one of Ignition's 10 general partners have launched Internet "blogs" for regularly posting thoughts. Among the more popular are Martin Tobias's "Deep Green Crystals" and Rich Tong's "geekfishing.net," which offers an inside look at everything from new technologies to what entrepreneurs should look out for in striking deals."
Of course lots of other nice things were said about being a start-up VC and how Ignition's approach is somewhat different. But regular readers of DGC already knew that didn't you?

from the WSJ article i know that your VC group is primarily interested in IT companies. What about IT applications for the healthcare market? we are a small company that developed a way to streamline health claim submission (on-line), reducing the costs for all parties involved (providers and payors) by 50-70%. The potential is huge (last year this country spent ~ $1.6 trillion on healthcare). With a relatively small investment (exclusively for marketing and implementation) this technology can be implemented nationwide. The idea is sound - no client-based software to buy, no hardware/networking to install, no software upgrade fees, etc.
If it's at all up your valley, would be thrilled to discuss it with you, thanks for allowing me to shamelessly self promote.
