Kiva- smaller scale investment!

I just heard on a podcast from VentureVoice about Kiva, a web-based microlending not-for-profit service- if that isn't too much of a mouthful! I've made a tiny loan to a farmer in Africa to see what happens, if it works well I'll probably do more of these. She needs to raise another £300 so you might like to join me supporting GRACE WANJIRU MUNGAI. Thanks. Update I just had my first repayment of a loan; it's kind of funny feeling in that you know that it's good, and that you will re-lend the money again, but on the other hand you really hope the borrower can afford it!

Opening this Blog

Having noticed over the holidays that Microsoft hands out free laptops to top bloggers, how could I resist starting a blog ;-) Seriously, I've noticed that whilst loads of US VC's post regularly, and a few Europeans, there don't seem to be too many in the UK yet. This blog will start, and is likely to remain, highly personal and is not in any way endorsed by my employer Enterprise Ventures.
