Hello,
I started reading the fast lane book last year and the best way I can explain what it did for me is that it just put everything into prospective. I already had that fast lane mind set from the age of 15 but never knew how to actually Pursue it or wasn't sure if I was just bieng a Naive teenager. The fast lane book proved my instincts correct.
I'm 18 years old and I have just started talking to an angel investor about my app idea, I found their website last month sent them an email just to say I had an idea and see if they had any intrigue, sure enough they got back to me asking to explain it in more detail, I did then I was told to book a Skype appointment to discuss it with him or his co-worker. They then sent me a business template which I filled and emailed to them they got back to me a few weeks later sending another template on how each user would use the app, Raj (the founder) then sent me and his tech team an email asking us both to touch base with each other so I can discuss details of how the app would work so the tech team can get a gist of the functions of the app and the costs of making it. I have scechuled a Skype call with the tech team next week.
Now sorry if that was long winded but I just want some advice off of people that have maybe had expirence with angel investor company's before or if there are better ways to develop my app etc...
I just want someone to discuss things with since there's not really anyone I know like family or friends that I would trust asking either because they wouldn't really have anything to say other than that's cool or tell me I'm wasting my time and living in dream land.
So literally any advice from anyone about getting this idea created, or if you think I'm heading in the wrong or right direction with this investment company, only worry I have is they said they expect people with concepts like me to help with 30% of the start up if they decide to invest maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but I almost definitely will not have that kind of money so what happens then? Do I go to another private investor to raise the money?
Again anything is appreciated,
Thanks for reading.
