Might be an odd question: we have multiple great ideas and sources of funding. Would it make sense to build out a portfolio of the companies as a fund or to build them directly? Concerned about spreading too thin by pursuing them all but all have significant potential. I have always been more entrepreneurial, never really thought about scaling up and running multiple companies. Thoughts?

This isn't a thing. Validate your ideas then start a company with the most viable product. If they're interrelated, start one company, get a product line going, then expand your product line.

You don't start a portfolio of companies. That's a surefire way to not get funding for any of them.

All ideas are great in your head but in the end it’s all about do people want your service/product. Get MVP versions out there to get an idea of demand and that will guide your investment of money and time.

A fund is just the vehicle to take in other people's money. I would get building right away to showcase some sort of working prototype and thesis.

After you have some results, showcase your idea to some people that you know and see if there is market interest in your idea. I am building up a fund right now. It takes a decent amount of money to get started. Be happy to help in anyway I can
