Great post, Adam.
This is something I completely believe in. If you trully believe in your idea, then you will be willing to take the necessary financial risks to make it happen.
Not to mention the added incentive to succeed with your reputation and money on the line...
I know VC funding can be hard to come by, and your advice is great, but every now and then a little window of opportunity arises and all you have to do is know about it… I’ve been looking at information on the new series Dragon’s Den that’s coming out, and one of the key players that’s involved is named Sean Wise (of wise mentor capital). I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the show, but for those who are looking for VC funding and find it hard to find VCs to pitch to, they’ve made an open call for auditions and everyone who applies can go down and pitch to them in person (on or off camera) with the possibility of making it onto the new show that airs in the fall (not to mention the opportunity to pitch to a whole panel of VCs). Sean actually keeps some information up on his website if you’re interested in learning more about it (www.seanwise.com); And I’m pretty sure they’re still taking auditions, and if it is too late for the fall series, I think they’re already planning on doing a second season! And even if they don’t “throw million of dollars” at your venture, the exposure could probably do wonders for any idea.
