Today I saw a former colleague of mine from Les Mills sharing his entrepreneurial journey on LinkedIn.
He built an AI product. At first things went pretty smoothly—he attracted investors and also had a technical co-founder. Later, the co-founder and the investors wanted to set up the physical entity in Australia, and he wanted to stay in New Zealand, so they eventually parted ways.
Finding VCs and investors in New Milford (纽村) is already not easy, and most of the people you meet aren’t very reliable. Later on, he took his family on a camper van trip—working during the day and spending evenings with his family. While waiting in line at a fish and chip shop, he casually chatted with an elderly man behind him. As it turned out, that old guy was a VC. After talking a few times, the man directly invested $50,000.
Run into a VC at a fish and chip shop—you believe it?
