Young Entrepreneur Success Stories?

**Privateer** · 02-19-2010 07:31 AM

I'm going to be posting a thread in the "Looking for Capital" sub-forum in a little bit and I was curious; Has anyone actually found a good investor/partner through these forums? Investors have you seen a return on your money from any deals you made?

Looking around there seems to actually be a pretty solid mix of investors and people looking for funding. But is it all just talk?

Has anyone personally pulled the trigger and invested with another YE'er or found a solid investor through the boards?

yea i did one deal with one guy i met on this board about 2 years ago. put up capital and about 4 months of unpaid work. then, one day..the fucker just disappeared. i was left holding the bag.

note to all: take next of kin details from strangers.

That's it? One "I got screwed" story? Kind of disappointing. Makes me wonder why there is even looking for partners forum.

Surely there is someone else who found a partner on the forum. Speak up, I'm really curious about this.
