#553It sounds like y'all are an up-and-coming VC fund waiting to happen. Find some niche of founders that traditional funds have a habit of overlooking - minorities, women, etc - and help them build some rocket ships!

#554how about building a social platform and further learning site for serial entrepreneurs?? Serial entrepreneurs get together to test ideas, projects, etc... They learn mainly by seeing what others are doing and sharing thoughts. I go to sites to learn something, it is designed for someone just starting out. I want to talk to fellow serial entrepreneurs who are looking at various ideas, but don't know where to meet the…

#556You should give the money to a startup with a product, traction and excited users that is founded by (a) non-dudebro(s).
Because those founders don't get the capital they need, because folks like you unfairly do.
This is because the system is zero-sum and wack, but such as it is, what I suggest is a much better place for the money to go, in terms of profitability (as well as for other obvious reasons).
From there, you should get a job at an established tech startup in a BD role.
The last part is what is likely to happen anyway, after you guys give up within the next 2-4 months. But it would be so much cooler if you did the first part before that happens.
With Good Intentions, A Non-dudebro Founder Not in Need of Capital Because of My Ability to Build Product/Traction with Little Funding
peace

#558I'm sure it must be out there already in some form, but you might want to give a shot at "uber for day laborers". It seems to me like there are opportunities on both the supply and demand side. On the supply side there its lots of room for improving gig hunting and payment assurance for laborers. Staffing agencies are of course in this space, but are pretty inefficient and catch only a small fraction of potential gig…
There are lots of people who need jobs and need someone to tell them where to go and what to do. This could be a real winner. Call it "Slaves 2.0".
Speaking from the experience of someone who has hired general heavy labor and skilled trades... This has literally existed since the gold rush, chances are 60-80% of the labor involved in building your house came from an organization like this. They are a unique niche of staffing agencies that only staff same day labor. Many of organizations are nation-wide. Also, lots of skilled workers ask to be paid in cash, so they wouldn’t want a paper trail anyway... you pay 50% upfront and 50% when the job is done to spec. Just doing a few jobs on Craigslist and hiring some laborors won’t make you in any way even close to expert enough to tackle this field.
