"Lectures"/"Talk" these do not compute in the real world.
If you know your field then you do not need this.
If you don't it won't make you succeed.
You need a capital, & that's the bottom line!
Without any kind of money which is time you simply can not do a startup.
Now, why people give up money to others? That's the real question.
I confidently can say at least 80% of the time it has nothing to do with the venture itself!
Connections, how you look/sound etc.
If you watch Shark tank you can see this clearly where Sharks bend the "rules" when they like someone.
Money is never an issue for them here, it's why would I give this person my money.
People tend to revert to these things because no one knows the future & unfortunately instead of making decisions rationally they end up going to the other end which is almost like consulting an oracle.
I am doing a Startup & have launched a fundraiser www.9mim.com & will share the process
Please check it out & give me your honest feedback to me this is more important than the $ itself as I'll do it regardless but with the $ it'll happen faster & have a better chance of succeeding.
