Hello everyone, as entrepreneurs we all know that most of our results reflect the hard work, time and commitment we put in to our businesses. I am pursuing a new business venture and am currently getting quotes from companies that build out prototypes. Now for the individual a single prototype can be quite costly. There are ways to fund the project but most investors are looking for more than a drawing on a napkin if not the actual prototype. Not to say that is all I have done, but my question is would you take the jump and fund a prototype yourself if your market research turned out positive for a need to be fulfilled? We've all put money in to things and have had failures that did not come back with the return we hoped for. So would you put it on the line and go for it? What are some factors that would hold you back? How much information do you need to execute before its analysis paralysis? If all boxes are checked from The Great Rat Race book is it green lights ahead? I suppose no risk no reward. Look forward to reading your suggestions and comments, thanks all.
