$100 Shirt

$100 A Shirt, Srsly?

$100 Shirts

Being a VC, some would say, is all about status.  It isn’t what your yacht is like, it is which yacht you are talking about in the first place.  See our My Other Plane is shirt for inspiration.

Because the $100 VC Undershirt is the new multi million dollar acquisition of a consumer based web app that you wither away and destroy, you should buy a few, just to keep everyone guessing.

Who are you courting to have a portfolio company acquired?  Nothing says ‘love,’ ‘hard to get’ and ’status’ like a VC Wear shirt.  Nothing.

Well, owning this site would.  You should buy it now to make sure.  If you wait too long, the price will go up.

But you knew that. You smart VC, you.

  8. You’re only mistake was printing physical shirts, dude. Isn’t that what CafePress is for? :-)

  9. Shirts printed in CafePress are used for toilet paper. Hand screen printed shirts with tear filled term sheet inks last much, much longer.

  10. Actually, you DO have a point there! I don’t think CafePress has ever used “tear filled term sheet inks.” :-) Good luck with the company and all the best!
