If not, how do you think you would approach the process should you seek some?
I keep hearing over and over again that investors love teams of founders. I think YC's organizers also think the same?
Good luck!
About a months ago I had been contacted by a company called PurePhoto (www.purephoto.com) which I had never heard of before. They talked to me about doing some sort of collaboration and joining forces with them. I talked with their VP and also the CEO and had mentioned my experience above and they had similar experiences. The pretty much told me that big VCs don't really look into investing in projects like mine, which is centered around art photography.
I also talked to another acquaintance who seems to work somehow closely with angel investors and he mentioned that sometimes you can find the right angel investor who is specifically interested in the photography/art space.
So really this is unexplored territory for me. I'd be willing to take advice here or simply have a discussion.
