Un post rapide pour commenter l'initiative d'Intel qui à mon avis est un best-practice en la matière.
Voici le lien vers l'info
De quoi ça parle?
Intel a annoncé la création du fonds "Invest in America Alliance" qui comprend:
- 24 sociétés de capital-risque
- une enveloppe globale de 3,5 milliards de dollars dont 200 millions injectés par Intel
- un budget qui sera dépensé sur deux ans, exclusivement au profit d'entreprises américaines, dans des secteurs technologique clés
- 10 500 postes pour les jeunes diplômés
- Participation de 16 grandes firmes du secteur des TIC qui se sont engagées, comme Intel, à augmenter l'embauche de jeunes diplômés.
Pourquoi un best-practice?
Tout y est, les fonds, les entreprises et surtout les ressources.
Les nouvelles technologies sont l'avenir et qui peut mieux les instruire que les personnes qui les utiliseront?
En conclusion: une vision nouvelle, de gros moyens, de l'embauche et de l'investissement porteur.
Bravo Intel.
A quand la "même" chose chez nous?

My first fundraising ever!
December 4th 2009 will remain an important day for me.
A great achievement: my first fundraising as a consultant!
I've been working during 2 months with a start-up specialized in mobile local services.
Finally we have raised 860k$ which is far away from our expectations (we expected only 500k$ for this first round).
But I'm kind of frustrated, I cannot give any details neither on the product nor on the startup itself!
Investor and CEO want to adopt the low profile attitude with their "baby".
So I respect their will (actually I'm obliged because of the NDA I've signed up :-) but I'd like to warmly thank them for this great collaboration.
Funds will help to:
- recruit 2 developers + 1 sales engineer
- buy new machines and furnitures
- pay the office rent
At the beginning it was really tricky, especially due to the fact we operated as a virtual team in three different countries: Israel, USA and France.
After only two months, the result is out of our craziest expectations and I'm looking forward hearing from this great start-up in the best blogs very soon.
I'm also working for an other start-up which has just started a second round of fundraising, this time the challenge is way bigger, we are talking about more than 10 million USD.
The final result should occur in 2Q10, so stay tuned!
