Agreed,
But failure is dependent on how much $ is able to be invested.
Wouldn't be very hard to employ a dude like you,(no disrespect, I just am quoting your jobby job thread, seems that you would be qualified)and be able to skip the whole learning process.
You would probably work for 100k a year, and do the complete ground work to build a corporate take over grow enterprise.(not saying you would, just someone like you.)
So when I imagine hundreds of big fish investors with much deeper pockets, it worries me what they could accomplish.
They are all too happy hiring a whole bunch of $10 a hour digglings, then pay for a expert grower....
The horrors ive seen....
