If I quit my job and try to start a company, will I raise 1 million USD cash funding (not valuation) for a company I lead (or co-lead) within 2 years?
Will probably add more context to make this conditional on actually trying. If I simply take another job it would resolve N/A.
While I believe the specific idea is not very important, my current plan is some kind of zero knowledge crypto product built on top of ethereum.
Edit: The clock will start on the day I leave my current employer.
@SirCryptomind Edit history doesn't show me what the original close time was but it seems you closed it or did a no-op edit 2 weeks ago.
I have now left my employer.
If I make no attempt to raise funding to is resolved NA. An attempt will be e.g. spending at least 2 weeks writing code for a single project that I hope to monetize, or having an investor meeting were they plan to decide to fund based on the outcome, or forming a company.
Also it's worth noting that I've done research in formal computer science and read and understood recent papers on proofs of validity of off-chain computation (aka zero knowledge) being developed for ethereum.
Current plan is some kind of zero knowledge crypto product built on top of ethereum. I don't have a specific idea, but I believe the space is large enough to support many niche products.
Entirely possible that I would work on a startup in a different space. My observation is that effort and skill are the key factors for getting funded, not an idea.
