Do you have a startup idea but are looking for funding? A couple of weeks ago YouBeTheVC.com launched to offer up a creative "reality funding" approach similar to that of American Idol. YouBeTheVC.com, created by New York-based VC firm Bang Ventures offers aspiring entrepreneurs to compete for a chance at some funding. The top 3 selected companies/product ideas will be given $15,000 living stipend and office space in the Boston area and additional guidance and services.
