I want to start a business. I have good ideas and can get capital.
The only problem is I'm not a normie and have no social connections. Is drop-shipping the only thing I can realistically do? I want to start an uber-like company for local grown vegetable delivery but no social skills.

>uber-like company
the uber founders were spending the first couple months on the phone 24/7 doing customer service
mayve play the investment game, not the founder game, if you can't talk to people.

Good Eggs already did that, also, Uber wouldn't work because you'd need a 3 way partnership between local farmers, drivers and customers. You'd be fucked by supermarkets and local farmers markets.

You might as well say you want to be a pro athlete but are not athletic.
Business is the art of dealing with people, making them happy, and most importantly putting their money into your pocket.

They were cold calling limo and private taxi services, inviting them to try out the early stages of Uber Black (which was the first Uber available at the time).
Both founders were multi-millionaires when they founded Uber, look it up, Travis Kalanick just sold a tech company of his for something like $13m.

This.
I'd like to add that looks are also important, not gonna lie, I'm 19 but look about 16 years old and im only like 5'10" - 5'11" (I don't know exactly), so when I was approaching clients I always pull up in a rented C63 AMG to make them think I'm a young, self made rich kid, when in reality, I dont have much more than them in the bank.

but Elon Musk is a total aspie, granted he might have already been rich when starting paypal.

Investing seems good but is it riskier?

My plan was to build a few vertical farming greenhouses within the city itself and ship direct from there to reduce dependence on 3rd party farmers.

thats my problem. I look totally normal and even attractive. I can have really good openings with people but my personality is just too abrasive or something.
