I guess we have the answer here. You have to admit though, Cuil did one heck of a marketing campaign when it launched. Too bad it couldn't live up to the hype. <em>BRK's last blog post..<a href='http://warrenbuffettstockpicks.com/whats-wrong-with-warren-buffett-stock-picks/' rel="nofollow">What's Wrong with Warren Buffett Stock Picks?</a></em> Have we learned nothing from the tech bubble where valuations for companies were totally screwed up?

An overly rich valuation does not make it harder for investors to get a return, it makes it harder for the founders to get a return. Further rounds at a lower valuation will cause the anti-dillution provisions to kick in, administering a close haircut to the founders. A high valuation only does the founders good if they never have a down round -- not bloody likely in this market. <em>Don Draper's last blog post..<a href='http://promote-my-site.com/index.php/257-Where-is-the-Nobility-in-Carpal-Tunnel.html' rel="nofollow">Where is the Nobility in Carpal Tunnel?</a></em> I’m surprised VentureBeat has so little understanding of how valuations work.
