The Rise of the Angels

Angels, super-angels, micro-cap VCs, and seed incubators are beginning to dominate early-stage consumer web investing. This is a permanent change because the underlying startups themselves have fundamentally changed. Startups also need to adapt to the new ecosystem of investors.

Sam Sethi launches Blognation across 16 countries

Today ex-TechCrunchUK publisher, and more recently Vecosys editor Sam Sethi launches his ambitious Blognation network covering the startup/ web 2.0 space.

With 16 editors onboard already Blognation will initially launch in : United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Denmark Portugal, Italy, Iceland, Netherlands, Japan, China / Taiwan / Hong Kong, Australia, Brazil, South America.

Deliberately the US is not being covered by Blognation as Sam says 'because there are already enough excellent blogs reporting on the start-up ecosystem over there and one more wouldn’t make the slightest difference.'

Future expansion of Blognation is planned to cover Canada, Russia, India, South Africa, South Korea, South-East Asia, Poland, Czech Republic, Turkey and Greece.

Blognation's About Us page states ' blognation is backed by undisclosed venture capital funding, by vendor advertising and through affiliate advertising.'



Best of luck Sam and to all involved.
