The latest from VentureWire's blog, Venture Capital Dispatch:

Jason Kyle: From Start-Up CEO To Super Bowl Snapper - Do not disturb ProPlayerConnect Inc.'s CEO this week. He's busy with another project. See, Jason Kyle not only runs an Internet start-up that links professional athletes with endorsements, free products and opportunities for celebrity appearances, he also plays in the National Football League. And on Sunday, he'll be long-snapping for the New Orleans Saints as they face off against the Indianapolis Colts.

The $100 Million Revenue Club: Bravo Health - Bravo Health Inc. did something in 2009 that most venture-backed companies can only dream about: It had revenue of more than $1 billion. Yes, that's right, billion. Even more impressively, Bravo is projecting that revenue in 2010 could be close to $2 billion. And yet despite these figures, Bravo does not have immediate plans to go public. The reason? The ongoing discussion in Washington over health care reform.
