[Skunkworks] <OT'ish> Skunkworks VC

Suppose a few interested members came together, contributed money with a view of investing it in startups, it would seem like putting our monies where our mouths are. It would need to be a little bit separated from the Skunkworks mailing list, but somehow still maintain an identity with the forum. And yes, I know that where money is involved, there are 1001 challenges and risks that need to be mitigated, but, many years ago, we bought a server didn't we? So why can't we contribute again, but this time invest in one of our techies? Or, someone remind me the reason why this has not happened yet. Maybe it has been discussed in length at a cocktail I failed to attend.
