Reply to: Getting involved in a Startup / Greenfield

[xoggoth]

Best gigs I did were the ones where it was only me working on them. The problem with most projects is all the other people working on them. Bad enough having to cope with clients who insist on saying what they want done, they should be grateful for whatever I give them.

I'd put my 'mock indignation' coat for that, but I'm off to lunch as well before Churchill takes all the chips again!

Toodles....

Network. Involvement in startups is usually who you know.


Spot on if you haven't already got any friends built a network.

Think like them, if you were going to start-up where would you go? what network events would you attend? What forums would you be on?

Technical background is BI/CRM/ERP/Data Warehousing/MIS

Primary business focus on Marketing & Sales Operations.

Looking for something around the BI / Marketing / Sales enablement.

To be honest, I'm not really that fussed about the money. I need something to get up for something motivating.

I think next year is the biggy.

Is there a key in to VC's somewhere. Is it a case of networking?
