Agreed on most points. A couple of things:

>> 2. The untangibility of tech assets make banks loans near impossible to get

Avoid bankloans and explore PIPE financing or similar non-dilutive financing

>> It is that access start at 250k a year which is really hard to get even in tech.

Not really. If you aren't VC funded, you can hire anywhere and anyone. You make the rules. At that point, you can hire in India, Indiana, Ukraine, Pakistan, or Pennsylvania. You get a lot for your money. We hired entirely outside major markets and saved a lot. Unfortunately once you go the VC route you get forced into hiring expensive talent and end up burning money.

Id love to reach out offline, we should chat!
