for someone "comes from nowhere" and "going nowhere". your 6th sense is right on the money. i am saying this out of my 12 years practice in the industry you just mentioned, and based on a 3 year project preparation doing just what your 6th sense just hit on...
but...my plan requires 30 mil usd to get it off the ground, so i am off from that industry, have been off for 2 years now! i may get to reduce that budget significantly now that the market changed and the implementation conditions changed...
but still, you are right on the money! pretty good for someone without any background!
