This is completely meant in a constructive way but I've think the biggest negative criticism I have is the fact that you state the project as unknown.
In a recent tweet:

You say:
I’ve already started raising angel funds for my unknown project Seven77
And I honestly think that the biggest problem in attracting investment is this unknown factor. Some investors may be looking to invest in the person; looking at how they operate and what they've achieved etc. But a huge percentage of angel investors and venture capitalists won't consider putting money into something without a solid idea as the foundation for the risk/reward on their capital. This is what I see as the next step for you to secure meaningful funding to bring substantial investment into steem. A defined idea with a structured time frame for development.
I remember chatting to you on WhatsApp a while ago and offering to help put together a professional written proposal or infographic, and the offer is still there m8ty. I used to work in marketing and would be happy to spend time talking over 'trashmango' or any other complete idea you may have so that we can build a defined written pitch for investors. I think the time is right to pull things together like this and have a proposal to put forward as the Seven77 movement has momentum and the push-up challenge has even attracted steem influencers like @andrarchy and @theycallmedan. We can show that we have a movement, momentum and a dedicated community behind us willing to market a product/project... but can we show an investor exactly what their money will be helping to build? What they will have equity in?
Seven77 has the momentum, now is the time to pitch something solid. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you have an idea of the project you want to build and strategy to achieve it. I'm just offering to help clearly defined it in writing. I know you've said in the past that verbal communication is your strong suit rather than written documents etc. Even if the pitch is simply the steem Blockchain (to get investors to buy Steem to build there own businesses/projects), I have a number of thoughts about how we could sell the potential of steem for business or altruistic investment. In my honest opinion it is a clearly defined idea, with a professional pitch, that will catapult this to the next stage, hopefully win investment and maybe build that kilker dapp that creates mainstream awareness/adoption.
Let me know what you think Nathan. I hope this constructive criticism is of help and I'm here if you need me 🙂 DM or video call me on WhatsApp if you want to take this further.
Let take this thing to the next level 😎
P.s. thanks for all you do in promoting our amazing Blockchain
I read your feedback fully and please listen to Masayoshi Son
We’ll talk soon mate :)
I'm reading your comments buddy, I think @raj808 is making sense, I think you both can come up with something very solid @nathanmars
That's a really interesting interview thanks for sharing it with me. But... Masayoshi San talks about 2 investments in that interview. The first is in Jack Ma who created Ali Baba, Masayoshi San says it was because of his spirit and leadership etc that he invested in Jack. So I see what you mean, he invested in the person in that case. But the second investment he talks about is in Amazon when it was really small. Now in that second case there must have been some defined business model because there was a small company running already. In that case maybe it was the concept that attracted the investment. What I'm saying is that it's limiting to only pitch yourself and the Seven77 movement as the reason to invest in steem if a concept can be shown. If we can put together some type of proof of concept then you double the chances of investment 😉
