Arguably, the point of a startup isn’t to make money, it’s to attract attention and then investors.

Once the business is making money it’s not really a startup any more, it’s a going concern.

OP is an undergrad student. Attracting attention is what will make them stand out. And sharing research at this stage will probably expose them to research others don’t want to publish but do want to share with other researchers.

Investors with money.

  • What do you mean by this?

    What are investors who don’t have money?

    Perhaps I should have said investors and speculators, but this doesn’t help you here.
