Thanks Chris. Actually I am hoping to have a 'crowdsourcing-tutoring' type business, so I am not going to be the bottleneck. Some followups: 1) You say LLC is bad for VC's - ok, what biz structure do they often want? I can talk to my CPA and tell her to change accordingly. 2) You mention going to venture events locally - where do they commonly take place under? 3) @jimg was kind enough to point me to angel.co, etc - are there other VC sites you recommend to look into? Thanks again.

comment tired of freelancing for other people. how to meet customer directly?
+1, Interesting take, but - I have a concrete question for you though - you say "Send the companies polite emails". Well - to what email address? A lot of times the only email address they have is that of HR or generic 'support'. Who exactly were you emailing?

@ZulyGonzalez Thanks for your msg. The 6 questions you counted are there to help narrow the question down in fact. I am not quite sure how or why exactly this is a broad question. Its somewhat specific. How would you phrase it differently? Or perhaps, what additional level of detail would you need to see added? If you let me know I can edit accordingly.
