While some comments here are criticizing the author, I'd like to add that what the author says matches with my (extremely) limited experience. The most "glamorous" are YC-type funds, while others seem to be built with money more locally pooled from friends/family/banks. There are a few <X City> entrepreneurship centres and startups, but these unsurprisingly aren't as famous as funds with billions of dollars. I wonder if there's a way to increase the visibility of the middle kind of organized-but-not-10s of millions of $ funds - both as a social experiment but also as an aspiring entrepreneur.
Please yes. As a founder aiming for the kind of outcome described above, finding the original 500k of funding is the hardest part right now. No idea who to ask or what they expect.
