Captain Hoff explains how to get your big idea off the ground and make it fly…
Startups that succeed are those that succeed in creating value. And the value that we seek is the betterment of our human processes. We join accelerators to speed up the adventure, but entrepreneurs discover obstacles, and it’s the overcoming of those blocks that help us uncover the value of our endeavors. Here’s Chooch’s own example. (Blog post written & contributed by Chooch.ai)
When Chooch AI joined Founders Space, we thought we were doing Visual Search, providing a way to search for products in videos and images. We thought we were creating an advertising platform with some simple machine learning that would result in a way to serve ads, among other things, because we could identify things and then add tags to images. We noticed, though, that training an AI to learn had bottlenecks, many bottlenecks. In fact, solving one bottleneck after another was the key to unlocking our Computer Vision + AI solution we call Visual AI As A Service or simply, Visual AI. Chooch AI can now handle any visual task.

Here are three simple rules for investing in public companies:
1) Make sure the companies have a sustainable competitive advantage. If they don’t, they can’t win.
2) Never confuse a growth company with a profitable one. Short-term profits don’t matter as much as long-term growth.
Okay, so you have no money?
Surprisingly, money isn’t what makes most startups succeed or fail. You can launch a successful startup without a big bank account, if you know exactly what you’re doing.
In this talk, Captain Hoff, the CEO Founders Space and author of the award-winning book Make Elephants Fly, explores the cardinal rules for pitching VCs.
