Ask HN: Where am I needed?
I am a developer with a fair amount of capital that I could invest into the startup "scene". Any advice as to which angle I should take?
1) Invest my money into an existing startup.
2) Invest my time as a developer into a startup for limited $$ and live off of my savings.
3) Start up something of my own and invest either my money, time or both...
This list could go on forever and I am just not sure enough about anything to make a jump fowards....please advise...
- michael_dorfman 16y agoI am/was in a similar situation. Personally, I stay away from #1, unless I have something to offer the startup besides cash. Rather, I'd keep my eyes open for interesting early-stage startups, or startup ideas that catch your fancy. We see projects here all the time looking for a technical co-founder; have any of them appealed to you?
- smallegan 16y agoIt seems like there is always an abundance of people wanting to be technical co-founders here so I haven't seen one yet that has been flooded with responses. Also, I don't live on the west coast so that seems to be another barrier for me...
