Instead, he's one of the key angel investors in a new, crowdfunding site called Ramen, which launched this week at Calacanis' Launch Conference, saying that it has raised a seed funding from Calacanis, Naval Ravikant (AngelList), and Matt Cutler, to bring its online crowdfunding service for software projects to market.
