Sup gents? I'm currently building my next venture after selling my most recent one. Raising capital and looking to bring on likeminded people as financial backers. Does anyone here invest in startups? My venture is in the healthcare x AI space. Happy to share more details once I get some initial interest from this thread.

This should really go in public square or something. It's not spam but it's also not appropriate for the intended purpose of this forum

I'm actually interested in co-founding a company that uses AI to take on what I call "last mile" development efforts. By that I mean they have a strong use case for software but unlike Google/Meta, they can't afford to hire a team of hundreds of developers. I've just been waiting and watching until the tools are production ready.

Neat........ have you got an edge here, or is it just rehashing a classifier? Any pedigree in launching medical products?
Medical is horrid to invest in because the risks are huge, the costs high, and the timelines long.
But if you can do it.... go for it.

Startup idea generator. Pick a random big industry and add the new trendy thing.
Internet + Petstore = pets.com
Internet + Broker = eTrade
Internet + Classified Ads = eBay
Cell Phone + Taxi = Uber
Cell Phone + Hotel = AirBnb
Cell Phone + Broker = Robinhood
AI + Healthcare = whatever this guy is doing
If you look at startup incubators, everything in the past year is AI/LLM + whatever.

to be fair, a lot of those companies are worth literally billions.

There are more that raised $100M+ capital and then flopped. I don't know their name well enough to cite them.
Also, their success was mostly due to being propped up by investors and mainstream media hype, more so than any actual talent by founders. For example, Amazon.com was not the first internet bookstore, but billions of VC money was pumped into Amazon to make sure they wound up on top.
