Hello. I am an Angel Investor based in Silicon Valley. I get involved with and fund start-ups at the earliest stage - as early as the idea stage. I focus on idea stage start-ups in the Consumer Internet space (Social Networking, Search, Web 2.0 concepts, etc).
A few years ago when I was an entrepreneur getting my start-up off the ground, I found it really difficult to connect with investors. Interestingly, now that I am an investor, I am finding it difficult to connect with high quality entrepreneurs that are looking for funding. I am sending you this email, not because I think you may be doing a start-up yourself, but rather since you went through Stanford's engineering program, you might have friends that are doing start-ups. If so, and if they are at the very early stage, if you could direct them to my web site to determine if there might be a fit, I would appreciate it. (By the way, I got your contact email from Stanford Computer Science Department's web site).
Cheers,
BV [e-mail redacted]

It's not a bubble until investors are spamming you to throw money at your friends.
