So, uh, Melo...you hiring, broski?
This may not be as retarded as it seems at first glance, if they, for instance, targeted only technologies with professional sports applications. For example, a company trying to improve the food/beverage experience at ball games, or creating a more reliable interface to pull up real-time/historic stats. I would imagine melo has a pretty unique network and brand to help entrepreneurs break into the right circles and meet the right people.
That said, if he conducts due diligence like he plays defense, this will be one of the biggest wastes of money in history.
