"If you are a qualified investor, participate in start-ups as an "angel" investor." Couldn't agree more! holds out hands expectantly

What's your start-up and how much are you looking for?

  I don't know who you were referring to but my startup is what a social network would be like if it was designed around human cognitive needs and tendencies/habits instead of technical abilities (and random alphabetical topics of interest) and targeted at busy people who value their time and want a good ROI on it. I'd toss money aside if I could just find some actual programmers who can help put together and launch a semi-scalable demo (I may be able to put together a professional "A" series through some contacts if I have something to show). At the very least I'd love to talk to someone knowledgeable who can at least help me figure out cost scenarios, most of which are technical, so I can present a credible b-plan. Where I live (NYC) just a bunch of entrepreneur-wannabe poseurs who attend lots of Meetups and presentations but are too scared to actually "do it" ... and of course the "professional" development houses who will gladly talk to me ... AFTER I raise the capital, which, of course, is completely useless as a value added. Any thoughts on the subject, feel free to email me @: emailadrian "at" inbox "dot" com.

  It's a social media player and, as far as money goes, we're trying to pound that out: basically food/shelter/bandwidth/coffee for 3 or so. Our current calculations say around 20k maybe to get from where we're at to series A (that is if we were to do that at the end of the summer) any questions, brnlligtsmehi (at) gmail

Yeh, that's the tricky part. Mention huge flaws in the system and everyone folds their arms and nods their heads knowingly, going "Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm." BUT ask for follow through with different behavior, ie, "action", and all of a sudden it's the rolling of the eyes, and "yeh, well, you know, the thing is .." and lots of cricket-chirp cricket-chirp cricket-chirp
