We're not sure if this counts as funny, but we suppose it's funny to those involved the way similar efforts by a college fraternity to make a viral video are funny to those on the same campus. Behold this new rap video, meant as a way of attracting investors, in which some members of 500 Startups join forces to make a tone-deaf, fairly awkward ditty in which they brag about raising VC funds, closing their rounds, and "making products." (Note: It's a 'parody' of Macklemore's 'Thrift Shop,' titled 'Thrifty Startup.')

Startups featured include letsfea.st (a source for online cooking classes), sverve.com (a female social-media-marketing thing), SeMeAntoja (a Mexican restaurant network, in Mexico), and Geekatoo (a local geek computer-repair network). And much like Macklemore, none of them have any flow, or any obvious talent for this, and it's a little painful to listen to.

But something tells this might work for them, anyway.
