Call all Entrepreneurs in the newbie forum.

[gweedo]

Let me introduce myself. I am a person that has been using bitcoin since early 2011 as a hobbyist, I been using bitcoins seriously for the last year and a half. I eat, drink and sleep bitcoins, I tell every store and restaurant I visit how they should accept bitcoins and even give them tips. I am one of the biggest bitcoin bulls around here. I know the ins and outs of the protocol and follow the development very closely of many open source bitcoin projects. I also live in NY a hot bed of wall street, and tech startups.

My goal with this post is to help as many bitcoin entrepreneurs navigate the waters and hopefully pluck two or three of from those to make some angel investments.

I willing to help anyone that has some sort of prototype. I am not going to help if you have just an idea, I need to demo the project at least.

So what about the ones that don't get the capital, well they get me. I can intro you to some helpful people in the community. I can point you in the right direction for a lot of security and bitcoin questions. I am an trustworthy person that would be willing to put my rep to help more people trust you in a faster time.


If you have questions about this post or bitcoins in general reply I am here to help. I want to discover and mentor the next big thing in bitcoins!

BUMPTY Come on newbies you have no ideas on how to start the next big thing in bitcoins?

Sorry you're let down, but it's kind of normal. Big shots are a bit arrogant by definition. They do not come to you, you go to them.

Uhhhh no? If they need funds to start a venture they would seek out an investor not vice versa.

I don't disagree, but what if you had an awesome idea. Would you prefer to trust the original poster, or evolve it until some real white angel approaches with real money. No disrespect for the OP, but people offering hopes and promises are way too many, whereas people offering real money are hard to find.

I'm working on a visual prototype, not finished just looking for pointers on how to attract investments.

As long as it works the best it can and shows the concept, that is how you attract investments. Also be very clear in your pitch what you want to accomplish. Also write a business plan, I can't tell how many people just pitch me an idea, and I go ok where your business plan and they don't have one. That would make you stand out in the bitcoin community a lot.

Thanks, yeah I'm carrying around the idea "in my head" but it's quite fully formed, will be formalizing it into a proposal soon!

Considering I am a bitcoin millionaire offering real money. Where in the OP did I say I was going to give hopes and promises? I was just saying what I can do beside money as well. Sometimes it is better if an angel can show what else he can do beside the money he can give. Anyone can give money it is what you can also bring to the table to make the business that much better.

I don't know you, and I am very new to Bitcoin and this forum. Give me some time to get to know you, and the rest of the guys here, and if all goes well I can get you in touch with a few people with good ideas
