Selecting investors with experience with your business type

Thank you for reaching out and getting in touch. That is a very good quality that will serve you well in your career. Most people don't try. I'm maxed out at the moment. I try to help the people that get in touch with me because I enjoy it and also because many people help me. It might be a few weeks before I can reply though. You seem like you've already been doing your research. If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to check out the content produced by David Skok (for entrepreneurs), Khosla Ventures, Tomasz Tunguz, First Round, Naval Ravikant (angel hacks), Steve Blank and Brad Feld. One thing to note: most investors in consumer marketplaces specialize in or have lots of experience investing in those types of ventures. In general, investors invest in what they know well. I'd encourage you to find some people (whether entrepreneurs or investors) who have experience building those types of businesses and asking them for advice. Also, investors are often skeptical about those types of marketplace businesses unless they're already taking off or the founder has previously raised truly massive amounts of capital (which is often necessary to hit critical scale) --> http://blog.kanyi.me/post/123461415168/investing-in-bubbles-pt-ii I need to follow though on the work I have started with other ventures, projects and teams. I look forward to following up at some point.
