Nice set of slides but I kind of object to some specific ones. Some of the startups that may apply in the future in openfund will sure have the potential to create millions of users or even change the international market. Startup founders are usually young, immature and inexperienced but they sure have enthusiasm. It is up the the listeners (openfund partners, VCs, angels etc) to filter the important information and see a potential win investment.

Hello Kostis, thank you for your comment. For sure we are looking for teams and ideas able to bring in millions of users, what we're highlighting here is that, typically, you shouldn't expect this to happen within 4 months since you started working on a product. Enthusiasm is also something more than desirable, we're suggesting though that it's also good to try bring some balance between enthusiasm and experience,while  we understand this is not always an easy thing to do.
