Dow Jones Description
In 2003, the venture capital scene was a desert with Dot com skeletons strewn about. Like a cactus holding on to scarce moisture, the only firms raising funds were those already able to sustain themselves. An entrepreneur with little more than an idea to share with VCs stood the same chance of attracting investment as a snowman in Death Valley. Yet Jigsaw Co-founder and CEO, Jim Fowler had an idea so compelling, the VCs pumped $750,000 into his fledgling startup.
