The other phenomenon occurring with "our" demographic (not 20, not living at home, have lots of bills....) is that we are not necessarily sitting on tens of millions from Web 1.0 either.

Everyone I've spoken to has asked for a proof of concept that has real consumers, making real money - once you have that and a solid business plan, you can at least have some serious discussions.
