Is this actually true? I have plenty of "hard startups" that I would love to work on. But these hard startups require far more investments and manpower, even to get to the MVP stage. As someone with minimal prior-startup-success and investor-contacts, I get the impression that no one is going to bet significant sums on me and my unproven idea. Am I wrong?
