YouTube Is Giving Away $35,000 To Unknown Partners Who Want To Be YouTube Stars

YouTube is giving up to 25 up-and-coming partners, with less than 300,000 subscribers, $35,000 to become the next big YouTube stars.

The initiative, called YouTube NextUp, also includes a four-day "YouTube Creator Camp" and the partners' channel and videos will be promoted on the site.

It makes sense for YouTube to promote its partners as some of them have become millionaires because of their videos. Google's recent acquisition of Next New Networks is also meant to help existing YouTube partners. Next New Networks will act as a management team for partners to make more and better videos.

You can find out more about the YouTube NextUp program here.

Valley VC Firm Accel Partners Opening A New York Office

Accel Partners, the big Silicon Valley venture capital firm, is opening a New York office, the latest sign of West Coast VC interest in the New York tech scene.

Accel has already made several NYC-area investments, so it makes sense to have a satellite office here. Its portfolio includes New York area companies like Diapers.com (recently acquired by Amazon), Etsy, Birchbox, Glam, Squarespace, and Venmo.

Though, for now, this seems more for the convenience of its partners than to add much -- more than its money, via investments -- to the New York tech scene.

Accel VC Rich Wong tells us that the office won't have any permanent staffers at first, but that there is an Accel partner in New York almost every week or two as it is. Accel's Jim Breyer, Theresia Gouw Ranzetta, and Sameer Gandhi are leading the effort. (Breyer also has a home in New York.)

We'll see if Accel eventually hires partners here, gets deeply involved in the community, etc. This stuff takes time, so we'll see.

Wong says Accel will likely increase its investment pace in the New York area, across a range of deal sizes, from seed stage to growth equity.

Get ‘Em While They’re Hot: New “Convio Connector” Helps Care2’s Nonprofit Partners Connect with Donors Faster

Today (Tuesday, Oct. 26th) at the Convio Summit in Baltimore I joined Chris Burley of Defenders of Wildlife in a session to unveil a new online tool that Care2 built to greatly benefit our nonprofit clients. It’s called the “Convio Connector,” and we built it using Convio’s API. The new Connector allows Care2’s database to communicate directly and automatically with the database of any organization that uses Convio’s online software platform. It's free for any of our clients using Convio.

Why is this valuable to nonprofits? It has to do with speed, avoiding headaches and -- most of all – letting you connect and engage with your new supporters ASAP.

We have successfully tested the new tool with Defenders, the terrific environmental protection organization that protects wolves and other wild species and their habitat. I’m proud to say that Defenders has relied on Care2 for many years to mobilize and recruit hundreds of thousands of new Care2 activists and supporters, from among our 14 million “do gooder” members. The many campaigns that we’ve run for Defenders have helped them win major advocacy victories while also substantially growing their base of grassroots donors.
