I came to know of you and SDG through the incredible job you did with the "If I were King" documentary that aired on MTV. After intensely watching it and absolutely loving it, I immediately knew that I had to try and get in touch with those who were behind it. Before even finishing the homepage of your website, I was convinced that I had found the perfect match, the company and individuals I have been waiting/looking for. I would love the opportunity to talk to you but have had trouble finding a way of getting in touch. I hope all is well and that I am able to talk to you soon. Best, Alesh Sebastian Mr. Zim

I came to know of you and SDG through the incredible job you did with the “If I were King” documentary that aired on MTV.

After intensely watching it and absolutely loving it, I immediately knew that I had to try and get in touch with those who were behind it.

Before even finishing the homepage of your website, I was convinced that I had found the perfect match, the company and individuals I have been waiting/looking for.

I would love the opportunity to talk to you but have had trouble finding a way of getting in touch.

I hope all is well and that I am able to talk to you soon.

Best,

Alesh Sebastian

I thought the industry was filled with backward-thinking douchebags that I couldn't have confidence in to come up with a real solution. Now that I know you're one of the people defining the future of the economics of digital media, I'm thinking maybe it will work out in the end after all. Looking forward to reading this thang... and to finding out how to make millions off my baby's 200,000 view youtube vid. Nice work, this is an impressive first entry... you're a great writer, Mr. Jake Zim.

So the more risk that's there, the better. And pirates used to do that. I really think entrepreneurs are a little bit crazy and really cool, but they also drive the economy." -- Michael Arrington Congrats on the move Jake! “They [Entrepreneurs] actually do something that economists would call insane, which is that they attach utility to risk instead of the other way around.

Congrats on the move Jake!
