I see several requests for more information here, in the comments. For those of you who ask, and anybody else who’s wondering, Accel Partners and Founders Fund will administer the fund. The website for Accel Partners is http://www.accel.com and the website for Founders Fund is http://www.foundersfund.com. You can visit those websites, check the information available, and find out on those sites how to contact them to ask for more details or to move ahead with a proposal. And good luck with that, I hope I’ve helped!
