Don’t Fund It

Don’t try to find funds for your venture, don’t pursue investors, don’t take out loans, don’t sell your soul. The moment you make a promise to deliver if you receive funds for it, they own in some instances part of what you deliver, but in most instances, all of what you deliver because you have to shape it to please the investor.

Discover what else you have available,

  • friends.  What skills do they have that can help you?

  • interns.  Who can you help by asking them to help you?

  • space.  Where can you collaborate, experiment, brainstorm?

  • tools.  What do you have that someone else can use better?

  • internet.  This isn’t a question. This is a demand. Leverage the web.

  • knowledge.  What un-used knowledge can you share?

 

Stay Positive & You’ve Got What It Takes
