Wouldn't this be a good reason to have the entrepreneurs, especially the "bad" ones, talk more to their potential investors? The goal of these conversations would be for the entrepreneurs to think more like the investors. That way the ideas get better more quickly. I'm guessing the way things go now is a bit like this: * startup has idea * startup works on prototype and buisness plan * startup pitches idea (whether formally or informally) * idea gets rejected * repeat If that's true, then it sounds a bit slow. It would nice if "bad" ideas get rejected at the ideation phase. For that you need to (hopeless, wannabee, potential and experienced) entrepreneurs to chat with investors, a lot.
