From college drop out to tech God

Question: I am starting a new tech business in CA. I have great connections and steady track record of traction. Now, I am ready to pitch to investors. One problem may appear that I am a college dropout. I wasn't able to finish my degrees because I was working full time and at that time, my employer wasn't able to adjust my work hours. So I decided to drop out the college for my financial reasons over 10 years ago. Please help me how I should phrase this with positive light. Thank you very much for your help.

Answer: Just ask them if they've heard of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, or Steve Jobs.

Seriously, focus on your idea, business plan, and be honest about your history. Good luck!
