Google's Angels flex their wings One of the most successful public offering in the history of Silicon Valley, Google has made its staff highly rich since going public 6 years back. Now, about fifty current and ex-Googlers are helping finance the next generation of start-ups, four hundred at last count. "When folks write the history of Silicon Valley twenty years from now," announces Paul Graham, who founded the start up incubator Y Combinator, "the true impact of Google could come more from all the stuff that Google folk go on to do after they leave Google.".


This sounds pretty good, nice to see that a huge company like Google also is doing something to help the small entrepreneurs to get started, just wondering what it needs to get funding for a project from them.
