In the past, it was more difficult to invest in startups because most deals were regional. If you didnât live in the Bay Area, you didnât hear about the startups that were looking for funding. Now, thanks to the Internet, incubators, demo days, and blogs that cover the scene, access to startup funding opportunities are no longer restricted to those who are physically in the room. Itâs all about knowing how and where to look for the next big idea.
