Vince flew to New York on a last-ditch effort to fund his prepaid gas card startup that let drivers lock in gasoline prices. He had a couple of meetings scheduled and had a backup plan in case one was needed. It was. He remembered a Wall Street Journal piece about a job seeker who found a job by walking around town with his resume on a sandwich board, so he built his own: WILL WORK FOR SEED CAPITAL. He started at Times Square and walked down to Wall Street and back on the coldest day of the year- 17 degrees! Most people stared. A Con Ed driver yelled “Get a real job!” while a group of elderly women called him cute. No checks, no meetings, no momentum.
