The big problem with startup talent in MSP, is that the talented ones aren't going to work at a fleabag startup for a handful of magic beans, giving up their multi-year, highly lucrative consulting gig at $bigcorp.
There's actually lots of expensive talent. Very little cheap talent. There's also zero vc money around, despite many deep pockets.
- ryanx435 12y agomy experience is the opposite: there is a bunch of vc money available. the problem is that it is hard to find because there isn't much infrastructure set up for initial introductions, like in the valley. there is no easy way for a startup to get introduced to vcs, but once you've met one they tend to introduce you to others and finding potential investors becomes much less of an issue.
