This post right here is my MVP.
I'm working on a startup-life-broadcasting idea. Basically, you follow me through the process of building my company. Hopefully you're building yours too at the same time. Maybe this is much more transparent than anything you've paid attention to before. So, not just blog posts about how things are going down (ala patio11 or Nathan Barry), but videos, audio recording, actual code, bank statements... like, lots of details, very open. Lots of live-broadcasting. Kinda like the way Justin.tv started.
- TheAntipodean 14y agoGreat username. I've often thought/day-dreamed about such an idea. Not just for a start-up but for a big well established company. If everything was open how would it affect their business dealings etcetera. I imagine going into negotiations where the opposing party has watched your board of director meetings, looked at your profit margins and ascertained all manner of information pertinent to the negotiations and completely owning the negotiations. I'd like to think this volatility/risk would occur only in the initial stages and in the long run it would lead to a powerful new business structure. Idealism isn't always reality however. Given start-ups are fragile taking on this extra risk could be the death pill. How do you propose to deal with these issues if/when they arise?
- keefe 14y agoI'm actually doing something similar. A few weeks ago, I decided to do a clean slate rewrite of my projects and record the hours worked. My wife has been making recordings of various evolutions of the design and I'm getting ready to go public with at least the open source component of my code, probably this weekend if my day job doesn't get in the way... I'll be announcing on twitter @keefe
