Meeting angels during those fragile first months –
Summary
You see a product taking shape – first in sketches on a white board, then on the screen and eventually into something that actually works that you get to put in front of your users. Those same users that you’ve been talking to over weeks and months, asking questions, running experiments and trying to understand what they need, when they sometimes don’t even know it themselves. You try to put on paper what is so clear in your mind, yet the words escape you and the description sounds so bland when it’s in a powerpoint. Putting your money on an early stage startup – particularly one driven by a crazy 10-year vision doing frontier tech development – is risky business. They are individuals who are willing to take a risk, who believe in us and who trust in our abilities to work out the messy path of an early stage startup enough that are willing to fund us while we do so.
