It’s funny you say all this but it’s actually a very astute observation of yours. And incidentally I gotta a high school friend from Karachi who is a journalist by trade and he’s moved to Toronto about a decade ago.
I gotta no idea what in the fukk he’s doing up there to be honest. He said there are lots of venture capital outlets who are willing to loan you da money for your business idea but then they take their pound of flesh and you know and I know bhai, 99% of these venture startups go under within the first year or so.
The loan sharks monitor you very closely and they ensure you’ve even put the fukkin shirt yous wearing down as collateral before loaning you a single penny.
It’s not so easy bhai to say well I got investors lined up and I got access to unlimited funds and whatnot…..
Theek hae kar k dikhao na?
So this dudes was like saying well I can use your help bhai if you can write up articles on the geo-politics of South Asia or Middle East like AT or Middle East eye or National interest or war drive or create content like that guppu dude does on the Caspian report etc……
Mainay kaha bhai you are better off driving uber taxi in Toronto or uber eats bikeya or food paandda or diddi food delivery……lol
I don’t want to ask him how his venture capitalist experience is today, but I’m scared to ask him cuz I know he more than likely backed out.
@Vsdoc knows what I’m saying that it ain’t easy risking your life savings and blood and sweat. I bet most of those venture capital fund managers wouldn’t approve your idea to begin with based on market trends no?
At the end of the day it is they who determine if your idea is even viable to begin with
Bhai I am a semi sarkari naukar.
Been one most of my career.
