I have so many questions... In what forum are you asking your questions? IRL? Over the phone? On a website forum? At a convention? At a bar? With friends? Strangers? Co-workers? They who? Who are you asking? Potential users? Potential buyers? Other providers? Students? Pros? Teachers? Do you have a MVP? A pretotype? What are you showing these people? Are you in the animation industry? Been there before? Is this idea just inspired? Did it come about from interviews with artists? And last, but not least, have you seen a few seasons worth of Shark Tank or Dragon's Den? Naturally they're edited for drama and some of the offers are unhinged, but quite often an episode contains a bit of real talk and sage advice from the Sharks/Dragons about how to start, run, and grow a business. edit: I work in the vfx industry so I'm personally invested in you succeeding to help out animators!

>In what forum are you asking your questions? ... They who? Over email and linkedin. I selected a random sample of solo animators, established animators, biz dev people in animation studios. >Do you have a MVP? A pretotype? What are you showing these people? An idea. I'd like to know if it's something usable, before I commit the month or two I need for an MVP. >And last, but not least, have you seen a few seasons worth of Shark Tank or Dragon's Den? Yep, of course :) Since you work in the industry, do you mind if I send you a PM with the thing, and you tell me if it makes sense?

  Ahhh, all by email. I haven't done any email canvassing, but yea, that sounds rough. Sure sure, drop me a line. Happy to help. Though, I'm a bit of an optimist and you should take any advice from me with a grain of salt. Please see my profile for a poorly obfuscated email address. Please let me know, too, what your competition is like.

  if you already sent an email please try again, my obfuscated email might have been a bit too ambiguous, I've corrected it. And once you do I can take it down. Though, I guess if you don't want to please let me know too so I can take it down.
