Who would give Ben Parr and a couple of his young buddies money to run a VC firm?

Celebrities, the former blogger is hoping.

Parr, a onetime micro-celebrity of the blogosphere due to his stint as a Mashable editor, has teamed up with the co-founders of Tracks.by to raise money (or conspicuously not talk to the media about raising money) for a small fund, to be called #DominateFund, pound sign included. (Disclosure: I used to write for Mashable.)

The total amount of the fund is rumored to be in the single millions — hardly a power-player figure, but enough to make high-risk, five-digit bets on seed-stage startups.

We’ve been catching snatches of Parr’s whisper campaign about his venture capitalistic ambitions for a while; the obvious question was where the money for such a fund would come from. While Parr, like his frenemies at CrunchFund, built up a substantial audience as a blogger, he has no experience in entrepreneurship or investment.

His co-conspirators are Matt Schlicht and Mazy Kazerooni, both co-founders of Tracks.by, a San Francisco-based startup aimed at the entertainment industry and getting musicians to launch their content on the Tracks.by platform.

Schlicht is a 24-year-old designer/product guy who has worked at Ustream and Socialcam. Kazerooni, 22, also worked at Ustream doing marketing work. Both held positions as celebrity liaisons, hence the trio’s thesis: Celebs will give them money to channel into the ever-hotter tech space.

But while the youngsters have worked on a handful of products, none have seen huge success, making their collective entrepreneurial experience negligible. Tracks.by made it into Y Combinator, but aside from being a sort of hacker badge of honor and a good training ground for first-time entrepreneurs, that experience is no guarantee of business success.

But still, we have reservations about the capacity of this group to run a credible investment outfit. Time alone will tell whether our reservations are unfounded or whether Ben Parr and two kids make up an unexpectedly awesome startup investment dream team.
