The meaning of Wambo, from SpongeBob to Shires and Startups
Wambo[1] is a fictional term meaning gigantic, bigger than big or super awesome.
Wambo is a term used on SpongeBob SquarePants[2].
WAMBO is an acronym for Wallaceburg Antique Motor Boat Outing[3] in Ontario, Canada
Shire of Wambo is a local government area in Queensland, Australia.
Wambo is a Denver-based company, founded by Jon Nordmark (founder of eBags[4]) and Keith Bristol. Wambo provides strategic assistance to startups to help them navigate better path to revenues. Wambo is not a venture capitalist, but rather, a venture knowledgist firm.
In the spirit of being a Venture Knowledgist and Keeping The Dream Alive, Wambo properties are built by knowledge workers who "invest code, not cash." For that valuable contribution, knowledge workers earn solid ownership and become a key part of the property's success. Property CEOs benefit from the knowledge workers' extraordinary talent and vested commitment, while saving on cash outlay through creative compensation plans.
Wambo properties consist of standalone websites, where great ideas are merged with great creative and technical talent. These properties are chosen partly because they shouldn't need more than a few talented employees long-term. The growth ratios (sales and profits compared to number of employees) should be extremely high. Some of Wambo's properties are: UsingMiles, UsedTunes and TrekShare.
