You be the VC! We just need a geek Simon Cowell now

Bumped into this interesting description on MIT conference page

You Be the VC

Take one part venture capital firm and one part American Idol; mix them together and get You Be the VC. You Be the VC is a groundbreaking competition showcasing top entrepreneurs from around the globe. Leveraging crowd-sourcing methodologies and expert advisors, the companies develop and advance, with the audience deciding which three will get funded. Will the next Google be born or the next Steve Jobs arise?

I am more interested in seeing who will be Simon Cowell equivalent here.

  2. I can’t think of anybody other than Michael “Techcrunch” Arrington for this job. He has clearly demonstrated Simon-type qualities, atleast for the web2.0 segment.
