Idea validated. Funding secured. "
OP seems happy enough. I quoted the same as you and yet read it differently.
They have literally said: "Funding secured. <party>".
Sorry to be brutal but Sylvain seems quite happy about their approach to making money.
[Edit: Soz, my quote is not quite the same as yours and things may have changed between your and my quote. I await DV oblivion 8) ]
- john_moscow 6y agoI am merely a random stranger on the Internet with a random opinion. It's up to OP to consider it or ignore it. Speaking for myself, I ran a few donation-funded projects for a few years and found out that it involves too much mental gymnastics. Hey, I'm almost making the minimum wage. I don't have a family, I live with my parents, but at least I'm free and don't have a shitty boss. It's great, and I'm happy, right? Right? Tell me people, it's great, it's truly great? So I learned the business skills, started working on a for-profit business idea, tweaked it based on the early feedback, and grew it into a full-time business that pays comparably to a corporate job. It was much harder than keeping to tell myself that my parents' basement is all I need, but it paid off well in the long term.
