> yeah, thank you for the kind comments about not needing money (aka: my time as no value) and asking me to build the prototype with irony
The world (read: the investment community) doesn’t care about your time though. If you are going to pitch an infrastructure project that should work in software without a working demo, you’re going to have to take a huge haircut on valuation.
If you want to be successful with a theory and proofs, join academia and publish them. If you want to get investors for infrastructure, make something that works.
Academia churns out “protocols on paper” every year that go absolutely nowhere. You need to differentiate yourself if you’re looking for more than a research grant.
