Huge Loan's Available for Mozilla Startups

Anyone doing a Mozilla startup? From netscape.public.mozilla.browser:

Hi:

Please pass along my contact information to any members that may be looking to secure initial Tier 1 angel or venture funding around Mozilla initiatives. Particularly interested in XSLT, LDAP, RDF, and security/embed focus.

At first I thought this had to be a joke. I mean, it's perfectly possible that someone would want to put money into Mozilla startups. No problems there. Eminently sensible.But what real venture capital group has a founder called "Huge Loan"?

However, following the links, it really does seem to be genuine...

They have millions to give out in VC, but not $15 a month for real web hosting?
