Well I agree with the discussions so far but I find the startup ecosystem very biased toward tech startups. I am particularly concerned because I ran an early stage startup focused on marketing and communication services and most people I have talked to dont find it necessary to invest in us even after proof of concept and scalability. All of us cannot be programmers and innovators somebody has to offer the critical support services (strategy, branding, marketing etc) needed to take the innovations to market. So far I have found it practically very hard finding investors (angels and VCs) to put their expertise and resources in startups that are not purely tech.
Hopefully somebody can shed light on this
