We know he gives great, "buffed up" holiday videos, but first Round Managing Partner Josh Kopelman (W'93, AEPi) also gives good advice.

After the jump, for all you entrepreneurs out there considering starting a web business, check out a recent interview Josh did where he talks about customer acquisition and being careful about having too much "free" and not enough "free-mium".

If you're fed up with everything that is Team Edward and Team Jacob, I'm sure you'll revel in the new Vampires Suck spoof film that comes out today.

To encourage you to go see the film, be sure to check out the film’s website I just produced (with now over 757,400 facebook likes at the time of this post!).

On the site you can do some really cool things, like..

There's a site out there created by a Penn guy that is giving students direct cash incentives for improving their grades and general academic standing.

Hard to believe, I know. I wonder how much money the site will be dishing out to the extra motivated students at Penn?!

More about how you can get involved after the jump...

Another case of Penn alumni (lawyers) with other careers!

Former college roommates (in photo to left: l to r:) Jessica Bohrer, (C'99 (technically graduated in '98), SDT) and Rebecca Richards (C'99, Theta) were inspired by vintage pieces handed down from their mothers and grandmothers and fell in love with the idea of taking something old and making it new. After a few months of brainstorming, their company Dalla Nonna (which translates from italian to "from the grandmother") was born!

Just a day after their ten-year reunion weekend a couple of weeks ago, Jessica and Rebecca launched the first collection of their jewelry line on Dalla Nonna: the calendar necklace.  Per Jess:

"Dalla Nonna’s signature piece, the calendar necklace, exemplifies dalla nonna’s blend of tradition and trend. derived from an old tie pin of jess’ grandpa howard, each piece is executed in 14k yellow, white or rose gold or sterling silver, and accented with a sapphire in a color chosen by the wearer to commemorate a date of her choosing (could be a birthday, graduation, anniversary, mother's day (may 10th!), birth of a child or any other important date).  With its sleek and modern design, the calendar necklace is a subtle statement piece that allows the wearer to hold a date that is close to her heart even closer still. The calendar necklace is the perfect way to mark a birthday, bat mitzvah, engagement or wedding and a great way to congratulate a graduate!"

Although they're relatively new to the market, they've already been getting great press; Entertainment Weekly, the "Ellen DeGeneres Show", Daily Candy and Urban Baby have featured them in the past month!

In light of the currently exciting political environment, for this week's Website Wednesday series, I wanted to feature a new website from one of our alumni that covers politics ...from a satirical level.

Penn alum Rachel Goldberg and her husband just started the satirical news site called The National Protrusion.

Per Rachel, it's "a hilarious online satirical website that takes great pleasure in poking fun at politicians and U.S. politics in general. The site was named Best of the Web by NationalLampoon.com. It has also been written up in popular liberal blogs and is gaining steam even as we speak."

Check out The National Protrusion

Some article highlights:

• Bush’s Location Undisclosed to Bush
• FBI Almost Certain Bin Laden Not Hiding in FBI Building
• Many In Bush’s Cabinet Coming To Meetings Just For Pizza

...Check back in the weeks to come for more political and entertainment sites from our undergrads and alumni!
