Joltem – Openly collaborate to build and launch a startup

  > "I was at a major disadvantage, I was in Dallas, Texas. The concentration of technical talent was small, and it could take months to find and convince just one other person to partner with. For a second I entertained the thought of moving to San Francisco, joining a startup, going to conferences, building up network, and then working on what I wanted. But I quickly realized how absurd the whole process was." Isn't it ironic where in a world where these guys would fund the next big idea to "connect the world", you cannot actually connect to them without doing it the old-school way. I suppose "eating your own dog food" isn't a possibility for the people that fund and over-value world-connecting services: " because it is apparently only meant to connect the "other people" while we can only fund you if we meet you over a cup of coffee and you're wearing a HOODIE with sandals and its 32 degrees celcius".
