I think we've had this discussion at least twice in my years here.
While all agree it is a good idea, no-one has ever had the skill
and/or time to co-ordinate a decent pitch for work, that would be
beyond the scope of our individual efforts.
I know there's quite a bit of ad hoc co-operation, and the buying and
exchanging of differing skillsets, that already exists amongst list
members, but taking it that bit further would be interesting.
I'd take one step forward and declare myself a willing member of any
VC, but I'd be the first to admit I have neither the time nor
experience to take on a management role.
