Success in getting VC/private investor money?

[JimmyCarter]

At 24.99% APR.

That's consistent with low end VC expected returns.
More unproven businesses could be 50%+

only idiots go into business for themselves
don't be an idiot
if I had a dollar for every moron who said "that must be so great being your own boss and having a business" I'd be fucking rich
in the meantime
well outside of the 60 hrs a week at work and realizing the world is full of assholes and dooshbags you'll figure it out some how
at least you can get a bunch of money, fail, claim bankruptcy and move on
nothing is as awesome as it sounds

There is a carwash place in Helena that includes an indoor DIY dog-washing facility. Seems like a good way to generate income during the winter months. Lotsa dogs in Bozeman that's for sure.

Good luck OP, I hope it works out for you.

That may be about the dumbest thing I've ever read here and that's really saying something. Many people go into business for themselves and do quite well. I'm very happy I went into business for myself, albeit I bought an existing company that I was already working at for seventeen years. None the less, I bought it and sold it eleven years later and did very well. I also really enjoyed it when I was there during the whole time. I now work with people who have started their own businesses and are looking to scale them and sell them in the longer term. The vast majority of them continue to grow and build their companies with the idea that they too will someday sell and do quite well. It's not a stupid thing to do and they're certainly not idiots.

I think Fred's taking more of an existential viewpoint on this one.

Hello, Whiteroom_Guardian! As an investor, I can tell you that before talking with the company or people, I do comprehensive research about my future investment options, possible losses, and profits.

My wife works for herself. She isn't rich, but it's not a bad salary for where we live. There's some headaches dealing with deadbeats who won't pay. Ditto for dealing with insurance companies. And she says her boss is pretty demanding. Her words, not mine. In the end it's better than some places she could work in her field. She's probably not making as much as she could make if she drove half an hour each way and or worked for one of the more exceptional practices. However, she found a decent office with exceptionally low rent. She couldn't find that now or if she drove that half hour. It adds up to being a wash or better.

Necro bot bump, from the looks of it...

[Percy Rideout]

Just bid a plan set for a carwash that's about to break ground in Colorado ski country.

The structure itself isn't that impressive, but it came out to be an expensive ass little commercial building due to the technical concrete work involved.

[Shredhead]

Good luck! I think a nice car wash could do well here.

I could never work for someone else anymore.

That's the first bot post here that I can actually appreciate, I think it actually managed to read the room perfectly. Greg at Alpinezone would be proud

The bots are becoming sentient.
