In previous blogs, podcasts, and videos, we laid out lots of facts as to why startup companies produce jobs and wealth. The main points:
< Startup companies produce an average of 3 million jobs per year.
< Existing companies produce NET ZERO new jobs per year.
< Angel investors average 27% annual return on startup investing in the U.S.
< A small percentage of the investments produce most of the returns.
< The higher the number of startups, the higher the collective return on investment.
So, I won’t get into a lot more detail in this blog, but the bottom line is:
< We need more startups to get started.
< We need more investors to invest in startups.
< We need to help the best startups raise capital in Louisville so they don’t leave Louisville.
< More startups = more jobs = more wealth
To accomplish this, I’m asking you for one thing: 2 minutes of your time once every week or two.
After spending time building Metro Startup Launcher, holding meetings with entrepreneurs, holding meetings with investors, and meeting with lots of the area’s startup community leaders, we’ve come to a conclusion:
Metro Startup Launcher has to focus on one thing and one thing only: building an audience of potential micro-investors and working with the entire existing startup community to connect micro-investors with startup companies.
