None of this matters. They basically just paid $0.50 per user for their data acquisition. That's a great deal!

That's true, but I guess I expected a true online bank who was dedicated to customer satisfaction, not just a middleman.

And if they don't secure the bank I'm with?

I would agree that finding and building a team in the first year, first MONTH if possible, is critical to building a core foundation of enthusiastic people who love what their doing. After that, you really just have to do your best to find

+1 I wrote this above. They are just a front-end, nothing more.

Doesn't it say on their site that they aren't really a bank, but just a simple... umbrella for other banks? I think they are just supposed to provide front-end tools for big banks so users don't have to deal with the banks. I'd rather it be

My biggest problem is finding others who are just as motivated and passionate about the project as I am, or at least close to that level of enthusiasm. I'm sure every founder comes to a point where it's less about that and more about findin

You might be in a better market for this, Tampa is pretty well influenced by tech... especially in recent years. His area is EMPTY. lol

That's true. But, if the medium is low to mid 40's (UI) and he starts them at mid 30's, a few raises in the first year would be a quick boost to the 'going rate'. I wouldn't stick around either without a yearly or even bi-yearly raise!

Would love to add our shirt to this. :)

Rather than focus on TAM, focus on what your service brings to a potentially unlimited amount of users. I would never open a deck or conversation with 'we will max out at xxx'. That's like starting a job interview out with an apology for be

Interesting... what part of Florida? Close to Orlando? He's in NSB.

I think he's going to need full-time guys, but its a good suggestion!

This is true, freelancing and contract work always pays nicely, but a steady paycheck is sometimes more important... especially if you can double your income with freelance.

I wouldn't consider it low-balling, I figured it pretty close to the paying rate outside of a major city in Florida. Plus, there aren't very many tech-centered jobs in this area... could be a good opportunity. :)

It depends on the project. They declined our website and my friends paper-picture-flower making project. It seems the majority of their projects are in the arts (music, movies, art, etc)

Thank you, I appreciate the time you took to respond! I imagine our homepage will do the job of clarifying the benefit to the buyer, buyers will be those in the market for a new/used car. I saw several forums called 'petrolhead', which do y

Indeed! Thanks.

Good point, and the answer is right now we don't really have any users - so updating front-end stuff isn't that big of a deal. However, I may have worded it wrong regarding why the updates were made. I am a brand nazi, so we weren't changin

Agreed. In fact, he's seemed a bit negatively opinionated lately in general.

by joshuahays 15y ago
This was expected. I like the idea of a proximity-based social network but the problem is that they didn't do a good job presenting it that way and they were overshadowed by a very negative launch to the tune of 40+ million dollars. Set up

I can't imagine actually waking up and realizing I left the worlds most valuable tech company for a dying clothing store. However, I am sure the price was right. :)
