Ask me in 6 months :)
- rfnslyr 13y agoWhat's your startup? Any name? Clues? Or do I have to sign an NDA because it's the next Facebook+dropbox+instagram? Easy on the downvotes there kids, it was just a joke.
- movemb 13y agojust a guess, but it may be http://www.roybiv.net/ http://www.roybiv.net/
- kevando 13y agohaha, no I tried to start (above) agency earlier but that crumbled. We applied with an eyewear concept http://frameri.com http://frameri.com knowing YC doesn't really accept physical product companies so it's not a surprise we got rejected.
- rfnslyr 13y agoWhy did the agency fail? One of my goals was to start a small agency and work with a few developers/designers and take on projects.
- kevando 13y agoIt failed partly because I never ran a business and never saw how a successful agency operates. Only poorly operated digital agencies and thought "I could do this better." Also, I had to make a decision to push the agency forward or take another idea into an accelerator. I chose the latter.
- rfnslyr 13y agoThanks. That's the path I want to take soon, running my own little agency. Do you know of anyone in the same position that runs a blog? Or any tips? Readings on starting something like this?
- kevando 13y agoIt's actually more like linkedin+4sq but for dogs.. So you're fine but I'd need a video of your dog barking a response to the NBA I would need him/her to read.
- chimeracoder 13y ago> I'd need a video of your dog barking a response to the NBA So the pitch is, "We're like patent trolls, but for breach-of-contract entrapment lawsuits?" I'd invest! ;)
- pshin45 13y ago> NBA I see what you did there.
- madoublet 13y agoThat is a cool concept (Frameri). Are you going to offer sunglass lenses? I would much rather have 1 frame with 2 lenses (sun + normal).
- kevando 13y agoYes! I wish I made that more clear on our website. Would that be obvious if we just put a picture of sunglasses? Also, would you want Rx lenes and Rx sun or just regular sun lenses?
- baku 13y agoFrameri looks really interesting. As someone with an abnormally wide nose, my biggest trouble isn't the lack of variety of frames, but that few standard frames actually fit my face. Do you see yourself as moving into the highly customized frames space at all (like protos eyewear, who recently crowdfunded their first batch of 3D printed glasses a few months ago): https://crowdfunding.protoseyewear.com/3d-printed-eyewear-tailored-to-fit-you https://crowdfunding.protoseyewear.com/3d-printed-eyewear-ta...
- kevando 13y agoYep!! Protos is a very interesting company, but I'm not sure 3D printing will produce something near the current frame quality for another year or so. Also, eyewear design is extremely detailed and realistically getting customized glasses will still take a professional for a while. (See our live 2 hour demo of a professional creating a 3D render of frames from a sketch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxsu3EzOzJI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxsu3EzOzJI) ... With all that said, we believe 3D printing has incredible possibilities and we hope to play a big role in in that space. One of our "growth hack" ideas to get site visitors was a contest (http://frameri.com/contest/#!/entries http://frameri.com/contest/#!/entries) and you can see some really cool concepts.
