Fabrice Grinda, a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, writes about startup investing, marketplaces, and entrepreneurship.
HN commenters link it for his angel investing guide, his idea of international idea arbitrage, and business selection criteria. They also mention his founder background.
The founder/CEO of this site is Fabrice Grinda (http://www.fabricegrinda.com/), who was interviewed on Venture Voice a while back (http://www.venturevoice.com/2005/12/vv_show_21_fabrice_grinda_of_z.html). His interview was one of my favorites.
He's got an interesting approach to entrepreneurship -- rather than coming up with novel ideas, Fabrice takes ideas that work in one location and replicates them somewhere else. First he built (and sold) the eBay of Latin America + Europe, then he brought ringtones to America from Asia (!). After selling his ringtone company for $80M, he founded OLX, to bring craigslist to other countries.
Check out his interview; you'll learn a lot.
