I spent 10 years as a technology consultant. During this time, I became interested in teaching and joined the Teach for America program. I thought that I'd be working with kids and teachers, but I found a whole new problem: the public education system. You will have a better idea of how to "ask" for money. I don't think that this is a bad thing, but if you are going to raise $1 million dollars, you might want to have some of your own money in your company. You will be less willing to do things that you don't enjoy. You will be more aware of your priorities.
