I agree with your comment. (BTW it has been a while since we talked). I think that you know that tweaher.co won the TechCrunch SAP Big Data Startup of the Year award last month. Given the buzz in Big Data, I remain surprised that no VCs have attempted to make contact since the company is currently seeking its next funding. Get this, they raise 200K in angel from a paper plan, build a working site, and won this award on a first time unveiling at TechCrunch Disrupt; all within 5 months and in budget. I think that the VCs are being passive these days and waiting to be approached. Sounds more like banks that VCs ;-)
