Similar age, similar feelings, and it's totally fine. We hear about success stories online, so we think it's always going to work out. The reality is that it may never; so you need to enjoy validation/selling process if you w

Where are you based? What kind of startups are you interested in? (DeepTech, VC funded, bootstrapped, etc) Also be prepared for a lot of noise no matter what. Startup founders all want to market themselves.

Right. I'm not sure it would get a ton of traffic, so I was banking more on referral / ad relationships with the suppliers. I've seen it work for a similar service, but that one has the benefit of being more popular, and dyna

Good question - for me, the goal would probably be to generate somewhere around $50k ARR.
