These money guys will not fund your long-range vision to completely reinvent the felt-tip pen industry (or whatever). Find a near-term business opportunity with an already-existing market and manufacturing technique, then you might get funded to take your vision to the next level.
From Marty (paraphrased by me): The stuff you’re reading the press right now: You know, the nanobots and nano-enhanced weapons and paint that changes color according to your mood, and the cure for cancer and pollution? None of that exists right now, and none of it is being funded by VCs. They’re looking at products like nanocoatings that enhance existing products — not the stuff that inspires social revolution or sensational headlines, but does inspire real money from these guys.
A nano businessguy arrives late: “I just got here this nanosecond!” Bunch of real nanocards here.
