i can see articles like this, and other chicken little articles and notices applying to big-funding startups, but what i haven't seen is how this applies to the little guys. me and my partners launched very recently (and were reviewed here, flowmingle.com for the curious), and we are currently unfunded. we're in the very very early stages of seeking funding, but on the scale of bubble money we're not looking for much -- just enough to move the servers to EngineYard and get a few ad campaigns out in a few major markets to start building a user base.
so in our case, i have a day job, and that job helps support the crew, both of which live very lean. i have the highest expense set (and the most experience, and can generate the highest salary) so i'm the one who works.
what does this mean for the little guys? is there still money out there for people who don't need a dump truck full, but still have a phenomenal idea?
these are the questions i'm looking to have answered. someone want to write that article?
- josefresco 18y agoForget your startup, I'd be more concerned with your day job with the overall economic downturn (unless your self employed). If you're like me with a startup that "gets not respect" I wouldn't be too worried, as you/we were never part of this 'party' to begin with.
