Y Combinator Tech Wildcatters | Tech Wildcatters is a mentor driven technology startup accelerator led by entrepreneurs. Five More Myths about Bible Translations and the Transmission of the Text « Daniel B. Wallace There’s an old Italian proverb that warns translators about jumping in to the task: “Traduttori? Traditori!” Translation: “Translators? Traitors!” But how much is lost? Myth 1: The Bible has been translated so many times we can’t possibly get back to the original. This myth involves a naïve understanding of what Bible translators actually did. The reality is that we have almost no record of Christians destroying biblical manuscripts throughout the entire history of the Church. Myth 2: Words in red indicate the exact words spoken by Jesus of Nazareth. Scholars have for a long time recognized that the Gospel writers shape their narratives, including the sayings of Jesus. A useful distinction is made between the very words of Jesus and very voice of Jesus, known as ipsissima verba and ipsissima vox, respectively. Myth 3: Heretics have severely corrupted the text. This finds an apt analogy in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. There was a long silence. This is the opposite of myth #3. Daniel B.

Dreamit Ventures   |   Helping great people build great companies Venture Incubators and Accelerators | Startup Owl Business, or venture incubators and accelerators have been around for quite a time, but now business accelerators are spreading across the US, as early stage investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers try to speed how long it takes to create new ventures. Unlike many business assistance programs, business incubators do not serve any and all companies. Entrepreneurs who wish to enter a business incubation program must apply for admission. Other differences are that while one of the benefits of either business assistance programs or incubators is the ability of participants to network, the accelerator does as well, but also actively supports entrepreneurs in their search for finance and introduces funders to the participants.

Revenue-Based Funding | Startup Owl Another new approach to funding business is Revenue-Based Funding. The idea is that instead of the risk being attached to the capital growth of the investment, the lender takes a risk on the revenue, by charging a percentage of the top line. My first business made use of this back in 1982. We just happened to start at a very low ebb of the British economy (the worst time since the Great Crash) and the bank we chose to work with introduced a short-lived experiment to increase small business lending in a dull market. A US company called RevenueLoan now offers a Revenue-Based Funding product, but on relatively large amounts for startups. Instead of requiring a business to pay a fixed amount and over a fixed amount of time (i.e. think of your typical bank loan), an RBF investment receives a fixed percentage of gross revenues, up to some negotiated “cap” (anywhere from 1.25x for a short term, on up, depending on the needs of the company, and the timeframe and risk factors).” Lighter Capital
