    "we can get to any coast", "west coast, east coast, Europe..." Those statements completely discredit how cities like Austin, Chicago, and yes, even Oklahoma City, are impacting the market.

    I agree with what they say and I keep saying it to all startups I work with when I write their Investment deck and Pre-REvenue Valuation and Financials, there are just few key elements that have to be in a brief yet fully comprehensive deck that will get the attention of these people. I write them monthly and I enjoy seeing startups growing :-)

    • @Envinite
      @Envinite 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      VCs look for potential growth of business with strong ideas, team and execution, regardless the ethnicity. You can't just guilt trip people to secure your funding just because they are X ethnic or something. Though, the AfCFTA deal hopefully can empower growth of African business ecosystem. It's only a matter of time before some locals there come up with genius idea and get noticed by VCs.

    Now that this video is at least 5 years old perhaps some others who have viewed this video AND who may have since reached success can give me some information.
    I have been working on a business idea since BEFORE this video has come out but for reasons I will not get into here on this platform I have not been able to come up with funding to create the website that I need.
    I HAVE TRIED --
    All of the easy Do It Your Self web Development Platforms -- NONE WORK for what I need.
    I have tried alternative funding such as applying for probably every kind of loan -- To No Avail.
    I have contacted various THINK TANKS and CORPORATIONS AND CEO's for some help -- to no avail.
    I have contacted Non Profit organizations such as Universities Community Colleges - SCORE - Innovation Connectors and others -- To No Avail
    I have applied for and PAID OUT TO ""ANGEL"" INVESTMENT PLATFORMS -- NOTHING.
    People I have talked to have copied and stolen my ideas in the past and I have re-arranged and re-created new ideas.
    I have contacted local and state wide web developers to try and work out a deal for payment or profit sharing just to get my web site built -- NO TAKERS
    My Idea is SIMPLE -- I have done my research - i have created a plan - I have the web WIREFRAMING done - I have world wide connections for marketing in place - I have a world wide NICH Market that can make millions. I did not create the idea and it has been around for a long long time BUT no one is doing it on the internet as I have plans for.
    One thing I have learned is YOU CAN NOT TRUST ANYONE OUT THERE -- SO PROTECT YOUR IDEAS
    **EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD TAKES MONEY TO MAKE MONEY**
    **QUESTION**
    HAVE ANY OF YOU VIEWERS USED AN ANGEL INVESTOR -- HOW MUCH DID IT COST YOU -- WAS IT WORTH IT -- WHO DO YOU RECOMMEND TO CONTACT ???
