A New Deal Flow: Startup Raps For Angel Funding, Venture Firm Responds In Kind

Screen shot 2011-11-28 at 2.58.41 AMLast week, Erick posted a video in which the founders of a stealth, San Francisco-based startup called Undrip spit some rhymes in an effort to raise seed funding for their new venture. Undrip, which is building a service to better filter your social networking streams (like Twitter) and let people consume media content without the noise, hoped to use their creative plea as a way to attract attention from top investors. They even created custom videos that they sent to individual investors, like Ron Conway. (See the video here.)And today, we've been pointed to this response created by Detroit-based venture capital firm, Ludlow Ventures, which seems to prove that some investors are not only listening, they may just want in. You may (or may not) know the Detroit firm as an investor in startups like Hipster, Graphic.ly, Fundly, and FLUD, to name a few. Jonathon Triest, the Co-founder of Ludlow Ventures is the moonwalking, rhyme-dropping emcee above.
