Facebook, Kleiner Perkins, Zynga and Amazon have launched a $250 million sFund their message for all entrepreneurs: our help could be yours.

The sFund is designed to provide support to companies in the social media space. Investments can be as low as $100,000 or as high as $100 million. In addition to Zynga, Amazon, Kleiner Perkins and Facebook, Comcast, Liberty Media and Allen & Company are also committed investors. On top of funding, these companies will provide guidance, advice and “relationship capital” for anyone funded by sFund.

The sFund lead manager, Bing Gordon pitched to Entrepreneurs with a poem – see below.

Hey, Entrepreneurs

We are convened in the “House that Friends Built”,
Where the tipping point is in full tilt,
Where brilliant devs are told to be bold but rash,
And everybody likes to Flash.

I never thought I’d be on stage
With Zuckerberg, Pincus, Bezos & Doerr.
It sounds more like the name of a law firm,
Than where the Internet (Internet) is going toward.

I don’t have Zuckerberg or John Doerr’s genius,
Pincus’ intensity or Bezos’ laugh,
Hey, entrepreneurs, their help could be yours,
If you add them to your company’s social graph.

We’re sitting on a quarter of a billion George Washington’s,
And our enthusiasm is unchecked.
For sFund team to help you build your Internet treasure
Using AWS, virtual goods and Connect.

There will be billions of people on social every day,
For their work, health, education, whatever they do.
So come build an awesome new company,
And maybe they’ll make a movie about you, too.

Birth of the sFund.

Let us know what you think of this fund and Bing Gordon’s poet abilities.
