Although I said a lot in my original post I did leave out some key points as it relates to the startup; a. Our website is 100% free to join and play... for now. Obviously future investors will want to see ROI but for the near future it remains to be free (subscription plans for better prizes is what's planned for long-term. b. As far as infrastructure goes, we are actually lucky in that our original investor is hosting our website for free with his own server(s) and security --it was part of our original agreement. c. I'm actually employed full time, and finished up my masters not too long ago. That's I think where the problem began, when I actually decided to take on more responsibilities at work AND enroll into grad school... All of a sudden the startup now had 1/4 of my attention and I assume things went static from then on.
