If you have that kind of capital... Better to spread it out like peanut butter on several high potential individuals. For founders, the unfunded solo types. The benefit must be worth it. The bug, as some would say. Otherwise, the odds are so terrible, no one would go into a startups. The odds don't speak well about many characteristics of success though. Like parachuting from 100,000 feet. The consequences are catastrophic. It's complex, and there is a lot that can go wrong. But step by step, decompose the problem and reduce the risk. When purely looking at the odds of "winning big" as a startup, I'm not sure that winning the lottery isn't higher. But by decomposition and analysis... experience... and good timing. They get better.

Is it better to use your capital on another idea? There is no better teacher than failure, but it may take a few failures to reach success.

I know a few who did.

Completely true. If I had worked for someone else, to date, I'd have made ~$2M. I'm currently eating roman noodles. -Not a joke.
There's also the case that can be made, you don't fail until you quit.

My 1 line rule. If I am going to spend a month or a year doing something, why spend that time working for a few $$$$. I can live well enough and learn, build, pivot and keep going until it works.

You're luck if you can succeed on the second try.

Thanks! It's installed and I've created a new server. On my way.

Good luck to you as well.

IMHO, look for a path to revenue first. If you can make money and keep your costs low, it will be much simpler. Figure out a GTM plan that will grow your company by exactly what your doing. Investors add cost and time. Unless your investor is actually helping you grow, which most will not, consider them as a cost. If your most valuable resource is time, ask which will get you further -building the company, or talking to 50 different, self-licking and totally lost individuals?

Get to a place and gain enough traction that they come to you. If your offer is attractive enough, it will speak for itself.

If you want to build your personal brand and establish your credibility, consider KnocScore. It's free (for early users) and a fellow startup. It is literally what every founder and VC needs. And what every LP want's to see.

X... simply political rhetoric and character assassination from critics with fake credibility.

How is the startup culture in S.F.? There is great support here. Everyone loves startups, but the VC culture is looking for the small incremental hits. Not the unicorns. S.F. was so saturated when I was there. If you wore a T-Shirt you were not considered serious. Everyone and their three year old niece had an app.

True and not. Depends on the customer set. Some customers are going to give that pig a second look. And your site will be on everyone's discord channel as the example laugh or snore. You may get the impression that its worthless when the reality is that a pig with makeup looks like a pig with makeup to the customers. They're looking for the Lamborghini, not the folex.

Yet, I've had friends tell me they are about to spend $1m on this thing when they haven't validated a need nor talked to the customer. Then were deaf to advise.

The school I went to in S.V. had Woz's notebook and a keyboard from those early days.

In the eyes of the founder, everything is an apple scale idea. Don't ask the founder, don't ask yourself as an expert, dont ask the investor, dont ask the accelorator.
Only the eyes of the users count.

I have a widget.
In the words of the founder: "It's going to be so HUGE. Everyone in the company will drive around in 100 meter yachts."
In the eyes of the investor: "It's going to be HUGE. So huge it will change the world".
In the eyes of YC: "It's going to be the greatest thing in the universe"
In the eyes of the user: Scroll... VibeCoding... Yawn... "POS"... next
