> the only reason we weren't the ones making money was a lack of capital I understand your point. But all that is just saying “The only reason I am not Batman is my lack of batsuit, mansion and a butler”. Most important, I think “technological insights” are overrated. Insights are valued exactly because among investors tech savviness comes rare. But If you want to play in the same field, you need all the other pieces and skills (including the capital, but you might also get hired as an analyst or consultant, so it does not seem to be a critical blocker of capitalizing your knowledge). So what really stops you from “fighting crime”? |

I worked in the company where the owner set up something relatively mathematically trivial and burnt through £500,000 before he started to make a profit. He was born into wealth. I am several thousand pounds in debt to try to develop something which is far more technically sophisticated and generally useful to DB devs (may do a show HN), but getting anybody to notice it is difficult. Just developing it as I go deeper in debt is very difficult.
I tried to use it as a way of getting a job -- "please look at my project, it's neat!". The response? Hard to say, because nobody has asked me to demo it.
Not having easy, sufficient cash makes things incredibly hard. I'm talking from experience. I very much doubt you are.
