Visualize Venture Capital Funding with Fundastic.Info There's a lot of data available online - about companies, about entrepreneurs, about investors. An excellent source is CrunchBase, a free and editable directory. Crunchbase has a wealth of information, but according to Sri Harsha, that information is under-utilized. While there's a page for a company or organization, there isn't a way, in Harsha's words to see "the big picture." In some ways, the Q&A site Quora has become so popular among technology folks for that very reason. It helps provide people with more information and answers about angel investment.

InternMatch: Helping Match Student Interns and Startups Internships are becoming an increasingly important bridge between students' academic and work careers. Students are looking for internships, and employers, in turn, when they go to hire are looking for students who've had some sort of internship or work experience. While there are many programs that match students with internship opportunities at large, established companies - including, of course, the traditional campus job fair - it can be a challenge for small companies, startups, and non-profits to find qualified interns. And in many cases, it can be difficult for students to find good internships, particularly if they're interested in entrepreneurial or non-profit opportunities or if they're unable to pay the fees that some internship matching services charge.
