Politics: Mitt Romney’s campaign is airing a user-generated …

We suspect Paul Graham will not be very popular in Sunnyvale today. The entrepreneur sold his e-commerce venture, Viaweb, to Yahoo for nearly $50 million in 1998 — a rich sum for the time. He’s gone on to success coaching and funding other startups through his Y Combinator incubator. In a speech he gave to his latest hatchlings called “How Not to Die,” on the mortal perils faced by startups, Graham makes a striking revelation. Even as he was negotiating the sale to Yahoo, Viaweb was on the verge of running out of money. Was Viaweb really worth $50 million? Or nothing? Then as now, in the Valley, there’s a fine line between worthless and wealthy.

Inspired by this example, we’re considering inviting startup CEOs to film videos explaining how Valleywag’s advertisers have changed their lives. No. No, we’re not. That’s a bad idea, sales department. Forget we ever mentioned it. But we do, nonetheless, remain thankful for our sponsors:
- American Apparel
- Ask.com
- Bank of America
- BlackBerry
- Canon
- Mio
- Pentax
- Sprint
- TechSmith
- TiVo
- Toyota
- Zune

Mitt Romney’s campaign is airing a user-generated advertisement, solicited from YouTube, for the Republican presidential candidate. This is, of course, a refreshing change from politicians passing lobbyist-generated bills. [Advertising Age]
