> Also, don't hire a college kid to build your MVP. That's a big enough red flag right there.

That seems like a pretty big generalization. I can think of several going concerns where a college kid might have not only written the MVP, but actually what they have in prod. There are tech plays out there where the tech part is embarrassingly easy, the tricky bit is the politics of getting the contract(s).

Example: signing up certain populations for government benefits. Sometimes there's a nice cut to be made and it doesn't take much more than a couple of online forms. The hard part is recognizing the opportunity then getting the deal inked, not the implementation.
