You didn't post an investment thesis, direction, or field. Just looking for engineers that think they are good, apparently. (One never sees investors who ask for people who iterate slowly and hate shipping.) I find it slightly odd that you specify people who aren't just looking for any money, and then announce "Who needs some money?" I suspect you are going to see a great deal of adverse selection with this strategy.

If you restrict yourself to only funding those startups which have prototypes and real clients you would be off to a great start.

  Hi. As I noted, I invest in people and products, not business plans. Frankly, for a seed stage investment, i don't want to see your business plan. I just want to touch your product and understand the way you think.

    That is what I meant - your 'products only' approach eliminates the posers in favour of those who get stuff done
