I think we could have made something happen with Kiko if we had stuck with it. However, I honestly don't think we were ready as a team to make it happen -- we didn't really understand the market (two kids right of college who never used calendars!). We spent a lot of time trying to come up with ideas for how to make Kiko work (one of those brainstorming sessions led to Justin.tv), but just couldn't think of anything we should was compelling.
- revorad 15y agowe didn't really understand the market Quote from your article: "These were guys with very little knowledge of the tech industry, two designers who had a programmer working with them part time. .... Even their lead (and only) engineer had moved back to Boston. As a casual observer from the outside, they appeared isolated and discouraged. .... But they didn’t give up. They kept at it." Like you said, persistence isn’t just key — it is everything. I honestly feel that if you have determination, you can make any idea work and make it big. But it helps if you are having fun while doing it.
