Blackberry Partners Fund: Memo to Windows Mobile Developers

Two words: We Fund em (em isn't a word)

My buddy Mark Relph has a post up about the Blackberry Partners Fund.  I agree, three cheers for Canada and this fund being headquartered here.

He also says:

I had to read Rick’s post twice to notice something -

“we aren't sharing plans or getting sign off from anyone, including RIM, on the investments”

“What Platforms?  All of them. No, really, all of them.  Does that mean if somebody has an application on another mobile device but it isn't running on a RIM device we would fund them? Assuming it was a good investment, yes.  We would expect the RIM devices to be on the roadmap and would certainly fund for that roadmap.”

Correct. Right. Uh Huh. Yep.

And:

"So – if you have a business idea in development on Windows Mobile let us know.  If it’s great, we can go from there…"

I agree. Drop by my office as well, we're in the funding business and great ideas are what we are looking for.

Technically, "em" is a word -- it's a unit of typographical measure (traditionally the width of the letter "M"). :-)
