    I agree with your entire post (it's rare I agree with your entire posts, normally just some!).

    There is no excuse (more than ever) to give out about location. I do think it helps to make these contacts in person - but that will only come with hard graft of attending the industry events.

    VC's should be the last on your mind if you don't have the other contacts to back you.

    @Paul - will do :)

    @Robin - you never comment what you you disagree with, perhaps you should in future. I can't believe for a second how anyone could be so wrong though ;)

    You're banging a familiar rhythm while exposing a reality of any system. Those closer to the feeding troughs often find the going easier when the portions of (money, connections and services) venture food are served. The lesson shared by the Collison brothers at a recent Limerick OpenCoffee is worth hearing in that regard:
