Portugal was hit hard by the global financial crash of 2008.

It ran in April of 2008. We got lots of traction on the web, and the story was picked up in many places. A few months later, we won the USC New Venture Competition.

There are ways to use radio personalities, use their web sites, streaming, custom skins, sponsorships, contest, and all kinds of things which are somewhat labor intensive, but they work.

LP contributions to VC firms shrunk from 2000 and by 2005-2008 had stabilized to around $30 billion per year. Money flowing into our industry has also massively downsized.
