In 2000, I worked for a large media conglomerate in Germany that was trying to do its own version of MyPoints, or online bonus program. We had just set everything up, selected prizes, had a marketing strategy and all, and corporate decided to buy a (at the time) successful start-up in the same field. Sometimes its easier and cheaper to buy the new technology or service than to develop it in-house. Large corporations incubating techno upstarts isn’t a new idea…but its not always successful.

Entrepreneurs backed by the venture community have filled the gap just fine with plenty of promising startups. Yes, the media companies should be doing it themselves (instead of hoping desperately that the Internet would somehow go away...) but they also have the luxury of being fast-followers and using their deep pockets to acquire the best startups. My whole career has been based on (profitably) helping this transition. Media companies and startups need each other. Market-based evolution at work. This is a nice theory but who needs the established media companies to incubate anything?
