But the one that I'm quite interested about has a deadline of October 11 and I'd like to know which one of you (or if you know of any friends) would seriously consider doing this with me.
Visit http://www.ycombinator.com/ and read the Newseek and USA Today links on their page, and then read the "winter 2008 funding" link.
My wife is resigned to let me go because this is all I think about and she has not rejected my suggestion that we may have to sell our house if any idea is really good enough to require my full-time focus.
You may be saying that we haven't solidified an idea yet -- I agree, but once we do get one rock solid -- I'm going to submit it and I want to know who can ride this bus with me. Again, if you know of anyone who would be interested, please let me know. If you want, just email me directly.
Oh yeah, the main thing to remember is this: being in Silicon Valley and working with the ycombinator team (which have founded a lot of businesses we know, even slashdot.org) is the value of who they know and the introductions we can get.
Yes, I am trying to get the same introductions in Phoenix, having signed up for an entrepreneurial program that is jointly funded and run by a VC and ASU. But we're talking Phoenix here, which for start-up investments is not even in the top 5 cities.
Okay, please read and think about your options, your future, and your family. We're all not getting any younger, so the window of opportunity for this kind of stuff gets narrower as the months go by.
