So it's not too late !

Still, I think you need to be well connected, or already profitable for VC fundraising.

Otherwise your just another programmer with hacked together prototype.

Better than just another Idea Guy with an MBA.

There are two types of idea guys, Idea Guys who actually can get funding.

And those who can't.

I've already wasted too much time creating small prototypes and then cold calling/emailing VCs/YC.

It's a big club and I'm not in it, at this point I'd rather just make weird games with my friends and open source them versus trying to chase a dime.
