I manage iSelect. I too have to get money from others. Those investors have a certain risk profile. iSelect works to find companies that fit their needs. We close a gap with iSelect, not all gaps. We have funded many companies that otherwise would not have been funded. Those companies are growing.
The gap between an idea and funding creates other challenges. Success comes from execution and listening to customers, not an idea. It is not just about funding.
I have spent a long part of my career working on the early stage gap. Succeeding and failing. In time I will close that gap. If others wish to help, please join the effort.
Thanks for your comments.
