what exactly do you need seed money for? what’s its purpose? Is it to keep you eating so that you can finish building the app?
IMO you need proof that people actually want this thing.
I wouldn’t write another line of app code.
put up marketing material and get your market to sign up to be notified for when it comes out.
Treat those sign ups as validation of demand. It won’t be as good validation as actual payment, which would validate the business prospect... but those RSVP numbers will indicate that this is something probably worth investing your time in (and other people’s money in). and you can get your beta users from that list.
- gab007 8y agoThe funding would be for driving the development of the application further, and not to "keep me eating". Right now "it screams" single developer all over. I agree that the app needs validation. About a month ago I've put Mailchimp signup forms on my website - to see if there is any interest in the app. This is not ideal however, without a demo of the app (sign up for what?) Proof that people actually want/need the service - yes, this is a good point, I am still trying to figure out how to validate this without having a finished product... Thanks!
- mygo 8y agoYou need validation. You don't need to develop the app to have a demo of it. You can put together mockups that look and function the way the finished app is supposed to look and function. You can have someone to put together an animation based on the mockups. If there's a problem it's addressing that people are trying to address, someone's going to want to be notified when the solution is brought into the world.
