I have a friend I've known for ever. He coded a great product but after 3 or 4 failed contracts (up to days before funding) he's just siting on what I feel is a gold mine. Should I bother trying to help him find a VC or does this kind of deal fatigue usually spell disaster.

I just went to an Angel Investor meeting and one of the guys that I met was really impressed about my passion. I was like "what about my software" he thought that was cool also but was more impressed about my passion. Jay as I go through this process I feel like you are one step behind me or in front of me every week. Thanks for mentoring me.

@JKGeary My pleasure, seriously. You muscle through it. Some things, of course, you can only learn as you go, but hopefully you'll get some level of advantage.
