Feel comfortable sharing one idea? Just curious, completely understand if you'd prefer not to.

  Search. Turns out everyone was wrong. The next google is actually a google.

  Most of the ideas and products I attempted to get funded were around the idea of transforming the electronic medical record (in the broadest sense) from a mostly free text entity to a mostly well modeled discrete data entity. For more specific ideas I would be happy to discuss outside this board.

    Thanks! It's a good idea, but I can see why it was hard getting funding - it's a difficult market to enter: a lot of people are trying to do this, including large well entrenched competitors, there's a high regulatory burden, and you're selling to a conservative customer base (doctors who need to change their working habits + hospital admin who need to make a significant investment). (I'm sure you know all of that, by the way, just reflecting on how difficult it would be to convince an investor).

      Yep. I'm currently trying to figure out a "back door" to sneak in. I had a meeting with a VC yesterday (not to raise money) and she added an idea to one of my ideas and the result has me pretty excited. Of course, I've been here before ;)
