   I just approached a few brick and mortar stores and offered to open up a new sales channel (their existing customer acquisition channel was basically having a store front and then staring into space, so was not hard to beat) I offered a &qu

   I don't have a web app yet. the video is just a mockup I did on keynote to show what things could look like :-) so that, the potential tech co-founder would understand what I think the solution would look like.

   Yes, I have. They have a slightly different business model and do it via an app. Its very clever I must say how they have managed to sidestep whatsapp's restrictions and they look like they have a great team. I have a different busines

   Hi there, are you part of a development house? will send you an email to discuss but I am not looking to outsource work at this point. Just a cofounder who believes in business model enough to work for equity.

    My story is similar. My friends wife was selling Indian women clothes and I took a stab at re-jigging her business for the "messaging-first" world. worked like a charm. she is now selling a very non-differentiated product at the r

    Thanks for the links. Yes, I would happily give away equity to a cofounder who can manage the tech side of things. I can scale this thing up a few 100K dollars a year the way I am doing this now. But it is excel sheets and 3 computers side

    Short Answer: Don't worry about people's weight. Invite as many people and cars as you like. Bridges are designed and built with enough redundancy that if you fit all the people you can find on them, they can comfortably handle th
