That's a great point. I guess my fear is that if I have to get a full-time job that it will delay me enough for someone else time to get their own MVP done. Since the application is geo-centric, they would just need to make it into markets that I'm not in yet. Groupon vs LivingSocial, for instance.
Having said that, I recognize that you guys are shooting in the dark. There's very little you can do without knowing what the application is. I'm putting together a demo to cut down on the time it takes me to present to restaurants & bars (my customers). I'm also in the middle of making some changes based on some initial feedback. Once I'm done, I'll consider posting it on this thread.
Thanks for your help man.
- dgunn 14y agoI've made deals with restaurants/bars/chefs/etc before and one piece of advice I can share that could be a huge help is to find an 'insider'. Not sure where you're living, but in certain scenes (food towns) there will be an abundance of foodies. Find one to help you. I was in NYC when I was working on a marketplace in the food/social space and we got an intern who was awesome. He was a food blogger and knew the lay of the land better than I ever could. He knew restaurant owners by first name and they knew him. He afforded us instant trust and he knew the best prospects based on what we were wanting to accomplish. Unless you're that guy who knows everybody, do this. Email me if you ever have any questions. Happy to help.
