This company is interesting. They call themselves a "venture development firm", as in they invest in your company in exchange for equity, like a VC. <a href="http://developertown.com" rel="nofollow">http://developertown.com</a><p>What I'm wondering is, how do they eat? Even if this model did work, it'd be on a 10 year time horizon like VCs. Are the Limited Partners (programmers) all wealthy ex-startup people or something? Or do they also charge actual money for their services?
