in So You Wanna be a Startup… on Learn To Duck
I love the title. So you wanna be a startup and all that ..... I am a 32 year old in Minnesota. And talk about no start-ups.

I can really relate as I am sure most people with a start up, to having no capital.

I as I metioned before live in MN jsut south of the Twin Cities. I have a very successful company but in the starting months and years I asked everyone I knew, banks, investors..etc, to invest. They all laughed. If your not a trucker or farmer, or an illegal alien trying to open a tobacco store, we will not give you money is their motto.

But, like you at this point, when the banks are calling me off the hook, and the investors are begging, I give them the good ole' bird.

I am surprised to hear of the start up in Boulder. I wish it was like that here. I can't even get a decent BA to give me an assesment. It's a joke.

Well good luck to you. Mabye this will be a "small world" story.

thanks

Eric Carstens
