Mostly interested in hearing from those who have succeeded multiple times. For those who have launched and produced profitable companies. How important was knowing the right people, how important was having money. How did you meet the right people and how did you get the money you needed.

Skill, experience and tenacity trump money and contacts. You can make the latter two. The former take time and effort that most people won’t follow through on.
