One frustrating reason: I haven't found an idea with a sufficient chance of success to justify my investment.
It's frustrating because I have execution skills (I've launched 'startups' for larger companies), I could fund a small startup without external help and I have access to good design & technical talent. Am I being unreasonably risk averse? Lacking vision? Words of wisdom will be much appreciated!
- Mankhool 17y agoWhere do you look for ideas? I don't know any VCs or Angels personally, so what is it like to be you? Do you belong to an Angel's group, scan Craigslist, or rely on your network for introductions to people with ideas in need of funding?
- Edinburger 17y agoThat's very interesting - I have seen myself as a self-funding founder than an angel but given my lack of compelling ideas, perhaps that's where I'm going wrong. Perhaps I should do more networking to find other people with ideas where I can add execution skills and perhaps some funding.
