You don't need much money to start out but the costs add up rather quickly if you have any significant traction. Heroku is one of the more expensive options. You will be hard pressed to find anyone good anywhere on the planet who will work for "a few grand, maybe $10k." $50M is a lot for a half-baked idea, but why worry about what other people's are doing wrong?
- itmag 15y agoHeh, I'm good (and getting better all the time) and I am working for a crap wage (due to lack of a resumé). Then again, this is Sweden... But, the situation is temporary! I'm just a temporarily embarassed millionaire, and all that :)
- billpatrianakos 15y agoHow much do good people really cost? I meant 10k as in someone to build the basic functionality and leaving maintenance to someone else, but again, I don't know. It's probably still more than 10k anyway. So you're making total sense and I'm starting to get it but my real point is that the majority of startups don't get traction. Why pump in money and hope for the best? Why not make someone prove themselves before pumping that much money into an idea? That's the part I think is nuts especially know how likely these sites are to fail. Also, I didn't quite understand what you meant with that very last sentence/question. Please explain?
