Yes you are probably right, there is a fear of the VC world. I certainly feel it. Being over 50, no one really wants to invest. Possibly because I am looking building products that could sustain a profitable businesses rather than 1000x moonshots. Since the economics of VC funds require that every investment could return the fund, investing in an early stage profitable business suggests no dramatic upside. It is also a full time job, raising money, and in currently have one role that is the equivalent of 3 jobs...so it feels more sensible to build the business than raise money. But I am a fool for thinking that.
- TameAntelope 5y agoThere’s a lot of FUD in what you’ve written here, but that’s fine. I don’t mean to try and push anything on you, but I just think you’d be pleasantly surprised if you could find someone who could help you navigate these waters. Outside of SV in particular there are funds who buck just about every trend you can think of.
- dougSF70 5y agoI agree, but so far we have found no one willing to help in this way.
