My friend Reid and I are bootstrapping Fangamer. The short version is a professional video game fansite. Since we both run Starmen.Net (http://starmen.net http://starmen.net) we figured that we can just do the same, except bigger and for all games. (btw, Starmen.Net is the reason why Earthbound is a 'cult hit') Reid is taking care of all the financials himself. We have three very great reasons why we believe we can self-fund ourselves: 1) Reid invested in a little known company called Apple quite awhile go. We have enough money to live on our own and work 100% on Fangamer only. 2) We already have built a community, Starmen.Net. Since we're adding on, we don't have to go through the hassle of starting to get people to an unknown site. Due to the crazy media stuff that Starmen.Net does (http://starmen.net/ebanthology/ http://starmen.net/ebanthology/), we have a lot of media contacts in the gaming industry. 3) Since Starmen.Net is donation funded, we already have servers and everything paid for. We run our own private server, so we have a great resource to start out on. I suppose I could add a shameless blog mention ;) http://fangamer.com/ http://fangamer.com/
