I am not sure I would --if I had the choice, that is. I tend to agree with this point of view by Fred Wilson of Union Square fame: http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2008/07/corporate-ventu.htmlI'd rather end up at Draper Fisher Jurvetson

Google AND venture capital. If only Goldman were involved in some way, it'd be like the holy trinity of B-school.

Considering it's Google, my guess is your probably be working on some pretty cutting edge/wacky-ass stuff, but with less money. RF

The reasoning kind of parallels criticisms of Pfizer's "Biotech Incubator" concept in La Jolla. Pfizer provides the facilities, some equipment and funding. Not too many takers so far. RF

Depending on the equipment it might not be as horrible for bio companies since I would imagine some of that stuff would cost big bucks...far more than some computers and servers. However, if the terms are terrible I could see why people would not be too excited to sign up.

I believe they have ~$100M under management, so pretty small, even by VC standards.

You're kind of painting yourself into a corner by teaming up with one of the big guys. If Pfizer/Google decides to pass on your idea it tends to make others think "I wonder what's wrong with it?". RF

The thing with google is the question as to how many of their VC like ventures are successful. I always get the impression that the search money pays for a lot of poor projects.
