Nach “Entrepreneur State of Mind” folgt ein weiteres lustiges Video, welches den Gründer-Spirit der Tech-Szene, diesmal in rockiger Form, zum Ausdruck bringt:

Video: Tech Star

I’m throught with standing in line at clubs I’ll never get in
It’s like bottom of the 9th and I’m never gonna win
This Life hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to be
(tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house an an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough for 10 plus me
(so what you need?)

I’m through with standing in line for a bullshit promotion
Working for a luddite who ain’t got a notion
This career hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to be
(so tell me what you want?)

I want to join a start-up in the digital space
And build a rock star business just like Steve Case
Or better Sergey and Larry or Mark or Evan Jack and Biz
(so what you need?)

I need some VC funding from a quality firm
Have to watch the dilution and the other terms
Don’t want to give away too much precious equity
(been there, done that)

I want to build a business with lots of scale
That leverages real time / local / long tail
Then sell it for $100 mil seems fine for me
(so how you gonna do it?)

We build an iPhone app, distribute it for free
Then monetize with ads and target to a tee
‘Cause we all just want to be big tech stars
Second time entrepreneurs with exits and scars
The backing comes easy and the money comes cheap
We sell before we got it too deep
And I’ll tweet my drivel like a digital player
And check in everywhere so I can be Mayor
Spend all my time on conference panels
Which will all be covered in the digital anals

Hey hey, I wanna be a tech star
Hey hey, I wanna be a tech star

Now digital innovation’s back in spades
The traditional players are digging their graves
They claim pays walls will be their savior
(but you can’t change ingained consumer behavior)

We’ll use cloud computing and open source
And facebook for free distribution of course
Gonna do it all without a need for a series B
(so how you gonna do it?)

We build an iPhone app, distribute it for free
Then monetize with ads and target to a tee
‘Cause we all just want to be big tech stars
Second time entrepreneurs with exits and scars
The backing comes easy and the money comes cheap
We sell before we got it too deep
And I’ll tweet my drivel like a digital player
And check in everywhere so I can be Mayor
Spend all my time on conference panels
Which will all be covered in the digital anals

And the markets and deals are back for sure
Thank God doomsday was premature
The big companies are chock full of cash
And all I’m lookin’ for is my own little stash, well

Hey hey, I wanna be a tech star

I’ll hire the staffers and the engineers
And pay them with options, pizza and beers
I’ll get laid off bankers to do all my deals
Maybe a smoking hot salesperson in high heels

‘Cause we all just want to be big tech stars
Second time entrepreneurs with exits and scars
The backing comes easy and the money comes cheap
We sell before we got it too deep
And I’ll tweet my drivel like a digital player
And check in everywhere so I can be Mayor
Spend all my time on conference panels
Which will all be covered in the digital anals

And to ensure we get a sky-high price
We’ll hire the best bank to give us advice
Getting the right team is very worthwhile
Everybody should have these guys on speed dial

Hey hey, I wanna be a tech star
Hey hey, I wanna be a tech star

Als Gegenstück “Mad Avenue Blues”, welches den Niedergang der Medienszene persifliert.
