I've had several mentors and advisors and am doing everything I can to be inclusive without giving away equity. There was a legal entity created, and I have applied for several grants. Each time, I have put together a team or had lined up collaborators who could help if the grant had been awarded.
I'm working with suppliers, and discussing the concept openly with everyone who is interested.
Most of the time however, I am working alone.
Should I pay someone to sit around and twiddle their thumbs for semantic reasons?
I believe a royal "WE" is appropriate, but I could be wrong.
- jl6 6y agoAre you trying to start a business or do scientific research? I think you’ll struggle to get investors interested in an idea that hasn’t been validated, and you’ll struggle to get academics interested in helping a money-making venture. You might need to make a tough call to do one or the other.
- pontifier 6y agoI'm not sure I really understand. The research is obviously the most important thing at this point. Without validation it's all just conjecture. I know I'll need solid evidence to back up the idea, but I've reached the end of my ability to evaluate the concept. I can't find a fatal flaw, and that's why I keep trying. I'm really looking for an answer either way. I need help to prove it will work, or to show it's a dead end. While it's in limbo I can't, in good conscience, drop it. Do you really think having a patent and an LLC to organize under are fatal flaws?
