Aral Balkan<p>This is the Silicon Valley “startup” model. Startups are not long-term sustainable businesses or small businesses. A startup is a temporary business designed to either grow exponentially and exit (sell) or to fail fast.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/startups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>startups</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/ventureCapital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ventureCapital</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/VC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VC</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a></p>

我在 #創投 服務超過7年,我的經驗是AO都在幫別人賺錢,但是自己都沒有賺到。雖然代表資方拜訪公司,常常會有地位比較高受人尊重的錯覺,但是回歸實際面,還是會發現自己並沒有資本沒有地位支撐。

在我們這一代,也確實面臨了的成長放緩的情況,已經沒有Low Hanging Fruits,我們也必須有一些不同的作法與創新。

我在這一兩年內,開始測試新的投資法。透過召集身邊比較熟且相同世代的朋友,我投入比較大的金額,約莫佔30%以上,剩下70%設定最低投資額度一起集資進入控股,再由控股投資到新創裡。 #有錢大家一起賺的概念

從目前的結果來評估這個投資法,有以下以個感受。
1. 較大的案子,設定最低300萬,發現大多數人還是拿不出來。這也驗證了其實多數AO都是沒有錢的。
2. 這種模式會需要更多時間,因為每個案子都要大家各自再評估。若是基金模式,就沒有這個問題。
3. 各項成本較高 (行政、稅、溝通、時間等)

這樣的模式計劃再測試一兩件,會再依據觀察進行調整。也許考慮組成團體,並且會有要求連續三個案子沒有投,就必須退出團體。

Listen hustle folks and VCs. Completion of the intra-American Iron Curtain will be a business opp for a border theme park on the Mexican side. You too can make money off ICE.
Educational visitor center, taco trucks, a replica of a checkpoint - name it Checkpoint Jesus for the common first name and to pi** off Evangelicals.
A mini wall parcours for kids, a waterslide called Rio Pequeno with plastic razor wire. A large observation tower, drone racing, and more.

Rise and Fall of Grassroots #OpenWeb

To understand where the #Fediverse and the #OpenSocialWeb are heading, and how not to lose our way, we need to reflect on where we’ve come from. The history of grassroots #openweb activism offers both inspiration and hard lessons.Foundations are built by real people, social movements start local, they begin with people on the margins – those directly affected by injustice – taking action with the tools they have. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, tech projects like #Indymedia were the […]
