Hi,<p>If you opened this, I'm going to assume the answer is a resounding "Yes!", because an equally resounding "No!" is not nearly as much fun.<p>I want to become an entrepreneur and I need $1 from you. Let me tell you why.<p>I'm writing a book on React, which I'm sure you've all heard of. I've never done anything really "entrepreneurial" before, and so this is kind of a big step for me.<p>Because I need absolutely all the help in the world, I joined an online course by AppSumo called "How To Make A $1,000 A Month Business" this morning. My first task is to get someone to give me a single dollar. That's it -- just $1.<p>If that sounds weird to you, rest assured that I find it weird too and it's a lot more uncomfortable for me than it is for you. :) I don't make a habit of asking strangers on the Internet for money.<p>With that said, will you be the person to invest $1 in me and help me become an entrepreneur?<p>If not, I would like to know why and hear any advice you have on the topic of becoming an entrepreneur. Either way, please email me at james [at] brwr [dot] org, and let's chat. :)<p>For the interested, PayPal is a great option!

According to your web site (<a href="http://brwr.org" rel="nofollow">http://brwr.org</a>), you're a "software hacker living in Mountain View, CA". So presumably, if you really wanted to become an entrepreneur, you could save money from your job and invest it in a side business rather than begging $1 donations from random people on the web. If I wanted to give $1 to a beggar, I'd rather give it to the homeless guys on the street who are asking for money to buy food.<p>And yes, you're begging, not looking for investors. If you were looking for investors, you'd have a business plan and would be offering the investors a piece of your business in return for their money.
