Why am I a NCET2 Startup Development Officer (SDO) ?
To be of use by Marge Piercy
The people I love the best jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element, the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls.
I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,
who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward, who do what has to be done, again and again.
I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.
The work of the world is common as mud. Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil, Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used. The pitcher cries for water to carry and a person for work that is real.

What are the value-add of NCET2 : SDO Angels?
14
The takeaways about being a successful entrepreneur : 1. Its a 310% endeavor - Priority #1, #2, and #3 revolve around the startup ! 2. Its a team (together everyone achieves more) effort -- surround yourself with people smarter and faster than yourself ! 3. Its about creating a product that the market wants and is willing to pay money for it. Technology is just one piece of the equation ! 4. If you don’t need outside investors, then start your business. 5. If you need outside investors, then do your careful research, check references, and make a win-win-win deal. Everyone control-the-greed
Old saying by Bankers : “Hogs get fat. Pigs get slaughtered.”
