In my experience, investors don't like to gamble. They are willing to take calculated risks with their money, but they don't want to their investments to be a "flip of the coin."
What's one of the best indications of future success? To many investors, it's past success!
So, what many investors are looking for is a team of people that have had past success in circumstances similar to this one. By similar I mean:
- Similar types of companies
- Similar markets/customer base
- Similar technologies
- Similar sales/marketing channels
It's not different than better on horses...while the horse you've never heard of might very well win the race, my money is more likely to go on the horse/jockey that just won the Preakness...
James, most of us here are business owners or investors. We're not S-quadrant operators. Monster.com allows people to post jobs to thousands and thousands of job seekers. NOONE here is looking for a job. If they are, I believe they are in the wrong site.
A sales Job may only be fastlane if one is looking to develop their interpersonal and sales skills. That plan will only work if the company they join offers a great sales training program and a forgiving compensation plan (not only commission-based). Xerox, IBM, Procter & Gamble and many others offer a great sales program by the way.
Otherwise, welcome to the boards.
To go back to the issue of privacy on the forums, I think there's a difference between posting private info and talking about past successful or unsuccessful ventures.
Howard, if you're from Sweden (population of 9 million), like Fanocks or from the Netherlands (population of 16 million), like myself the chance of disclosing your identity by giving useful anonymous descriptions of past and/or present successful ventures is much greater than when you're from the US.

...Some people have trusts and private foundations to store their wealth. The main reason for doing so is because they don't want to disclose such information.
