This past week I was Jason Calacanis‘  guest on his new program This Week In Startups.  It’s a tech interview and news show, aired live on the web, where Jason discusses topical subjects geared towards entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts.  A couple of the more interesting moments include 1.) the disucssion of how we first raised money for Docstoc and broke into the Silicon Valley scene, 2.) me asking Jason why he’s guarded when it meets people in public for the first time, 3.) why new Microsoft products sound like goofy action cartoon captions, 4.) Fondu (jason’s pitbul) putting a company in the deadpool, and 5.) J Cal giving away tickets to the upcomming TechCrunch50 conference like lolipops at a kids birthday.

When we were pitching investors and VCs, I always had 2 big questions related to sharing our business plan deck: Did They Really Read the Business Plan & Who Are They Sharing My Business Plan With?

In response we created the Document Activity Log on Private Documents on Docstoc. Now after you upload documents, and mark them private, you can see everyone who views & downloads your document. Here are the main benefits to entrepreneurs:

• Track to see if investors actually open and read your business plan
• Monitor who downloads and emails your business plan
• See who your business plan has been emailed to
• Track every single person who has seen your business plan
• For ultimate protection, prevent anyone from downloading the business plan (only allow previewing)
• Don’t worry about sending large files through email

Here is a funny video Kat and I Improv-ed
