Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think you misinterpret my intentions. No one is forcing you to go talk to VCs. However, if you want to obtain seed capital for a startup, you will probably need to be externally resourceful to get it - which means you might want to get good at talking to them.

Your story about motorcycles is the entire point. When you started out, you knew nothing. But you cared enough to want to learn more and get better. So you did. It sounds like you're actually a very resourceful person.

The point about resourceful founders being successful is irrespective of experience. Most startup founders have to gain skills/abilities far outside the range of what they had when they started their company -- that's why the resourceful ones are more successful.

Totally agree with ajju.
