Post Money
Your first question might be, what do you mean by post money? What I really mean is post cash out of some kind. I explained the importance of Co-Founders being on the same page and sharing similar values in a previous post. I will now take that a step further.
Defrex and I have been working with each other for around 2 years now. Although we’ve really only had one serious project together (Connectsy), we have worked on several others. It’s unbelievable how much you learn and bond along the way.
We’re now getting set to start a new dev cycle for a product were extremely passionate about. We’re pumped to put it lightly and are excited about the market opportunity. This idea is very different from Connectsy and it’s going to be hot.
We both share the grand vision of one day, post cash out, to start a Extreme Venture Partners/Year One Labs type of fund. We want to back passionate and talented entrepreneurs. We’re big fans of angels and early stage VCs and feel there’s room for more.
Whether we have to grind it out for 3 years or 30, we will reach our goal. Like the great George McFly once said, “if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything”. I believed that when I first heard it, and still do.
You have to work hard, and then work even harder. There’s no free ride, no handouts. You have to earn your keep. Don’t let anything or anyone get in the way of your vision. I’m not saying put the blinders on but “focus Daniel son”. Nothing comes easy, earn your return.
It’s nice to dream sometimes. What are your plans post money?
