A lot of big journeys start with a question.

There is no reason to believe he/she can't learn everything they need, build the contacts and raise the money. And also maybe the OP is asking to increase their knowledge without actually doing it, which is a fine thing to do, and is why people read sites like Wikipedia and HN.

This is a personal observation, but while I don't have any intention to become a root CA, knowing how to become one is still interesting, because it's neat to know things.

Here he might find people with all those things except for the motivation to become one.
