So you're doing it to improve the world and not for the money?

So you're doing it to improve the world and not for the money?
- joshu 16y agoI call false dichotomy.
- maxklein 16y agoObviously. You are trying to make money. I am asking - when will you make the money and how much? If I put 25k in a business in 2008, when will I see a return and how much would that return be? Or are you just doing it to be associated with these companies?

- joshu 16y agoI don't know. I expect it will take 5-10 years to get a return in many cases. I think this pays vast dividends outside of dollars: I get connections, notoriety, experience, exposure, and so on. I know about a lot of what's going on in the valley right now, for example. I expect it will be better than investing in venture funds, but not by much. (I do this too.)
