Got this in iMessage just now. Describing frustration with trying to kick off a startup in Northern Ireland.
I’ve met with a few private investors, a couple of angels, a few venture capitalists, lots of public sector funding managers and a few deal brokers. I’ve read a few term sheets – enough to realise when I need help but also, thanks to three friends in particular, read enough to realise when someone is being shafted. We’re a long way from having this fixed. And, if I am honest, after a decade of intervention, I don’t think we’re any closer to the answer.
Why?
Because the intervention was In the wrong direction. It was top down and not bottom up.
