[55:00]? Q1 = working, &nbsp;can i passively support viable startups and potentially profit from doing so?
2 or 3 different ways&nbsp;
1 - angel investor , 2 types of angels, accredited and non accredited
- accredited has qualifications, with regard to income, net worth, etc
- others - &nbsp;
- SITES like <a href="https://republic.co/how_it_works" target="_blank">republic</a> and <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/posts/seedinvest" target="_blank">seedinvest</a> and others, (angelist) make it possible to invest as little as $500 in&nbsp;
another OPTION is to take your skillset and offer your skills to startup companies in exchange for EQUITy, ex designer skills, redesign web site, app, ...
approach companies coming out of ] launchincubator, ] 500 startups, ] YC, ] ...
most companies fail, so dont go overboard&nbsp;
startup = giving up steady paycheque, use creativity, ..., potential profit
[00:00]? Q2 = read article about VC fundraising on medium.com, saids stop sending deck, stop meeting associates, only deal with VC partner directly&nbsp;
- not completely true, but heading in that direction
- raising VC is very hard today, you need traction,&nbsp;
- enterprise company, at least 100K MRR,&nbsp;
- OR if your previous successfull founder or possibly leaving senior position at major tech firm they may look at you
- OTHERWISE have to have angel funding, seed fund, ...
- do NOT go to a vC too soon
- you NEED - 50 -100k MRR, 10 - 100,000K people using your product a day&nbsp;
- DONT stop meeting with associates, associates do the grunt work for the VC's, they can get you into the VC firms database aka on the radar, some associates may have 'ear' of VC's,&nbsp;
- hardware is soooooo hard
[73:00] ?Q3= is it difficult to have everyone sign an NDA to protect your idea?
- in SV investors don't sign NDA's, not because they want to steal your ideas, would be too much legal exposure
- the idea is NOT the hard thing, the execution is&nbsp;
&nbsp;- keep your tactics keep close to your vest
- has there been leaks, possible not probable
- VC's need to protect their reputations
- have heard pumping employees of __ via interviews
[78:00] ?Q4= how much time do you spend helping your portfolio companies
- different kinds of investors
- try to not bother my entrepeneurs, looking over their shoulders too much
- available to discuss strategy, make introductions and my specialty - getting attention for companies
- ive started to require a monthly update
- companies shouldnt need you to come in and do the work for them
- each angel is different&nbsp;
- ent. should collect a set of different investors, with different skills for different needs
[82:00] ?Q5 =&nbsp;
