If you have a great idea for how to use Google Glass, a big fat check could be coming your way. Google Ventures and two investment partners yesterday unveiled a new fund called the Glass Collective solely for providing seed money to startups "working on creative, diverse, and crazy ideas that are shaping the future through Glass."

Andreessen Horowitz (the firm cofounded by Marc Andreessen of Netscape fame) and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers are the two investment firms joining Google in the Glass Collective. "The exciting part about today’s announcement of the Glass Collective is that just like with the Internet and smartphones, a huge amount of that work will be done by third-party developers, who are going to have in Glass a brand new platform and springboard for creativity to play with," Andreessen wrote in his blog.

Kleiner Perkins General Partner John Doerr wrote that Glass has the "potential to create a brave new world of services and experiences… New platforms are rare, but can be transformational, when they’re based on great products with robust APIs, powerful distribution and outstanding entrepreneurs."

Google recently provided a preview of the "Google Mirror API," which will allow third-party developers to build software for Glass. The Glass Collective said its first investments will be in the US only, but "[a]s the platform matures, our investment strategy will likely evolve as well." There isn't a single point of contact for people interested in seeking funding. "To work with the Glass Collective, contact investors at Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, or KPCB. Investing partners from each fund will jointly review startup pitches related to Glass," the collective's website states.
