DIY with a screen recording product like Telestream/ScreenFlow(Mac) or TechSmith/Camtasia(PC). Record a walk through of your web app (or mocked up screens), while also recording yourself doing the voice over.

Hi djsamson, I'll pass along the same advice verbatim that I received over 20 years ago, from the dean of my school's MBA program ( I was in his undergrad entrepreneurship class ), when I asked about MBA as path to entrepreneurship. His adv

Understand your desire around consumer experience, but you really need to engage now with a few stations to vet your assumptions.

My suggestion more around understanding generally if there is potential demand which is what I thought your question was. I wouldn't promote your product there directly.

One place might be Q/A or support forums where the discussion can be a reasonable proxy to your project. For example if a recurring complaint or feature request is 'how can I xxy' or 'can you do xxy'. If your proposed product can do xxy, or

Agree with free to start, to work out the use cases and market -- unless you already have a good idea of what some of those use cases are. For example, if this mainly targets folks doing documentation or tutorials, maybe you could add a few

You should very quickly talk to a local station and validate that your idea makes sense with regard to business objectives and content restrictions. Specifically, I think you may find that stations will not let you copy content or ads to cl

You should have the discussion about post-funding pay now , so you know if you want to sign up. But given what was offered, this conversation will probably go badly or not happen, which is probably a good sign for you and your programmer f

My point was you can use trademark as a tool to keep someone from co-opting your exact name if you are not there. For example, I'm not in Windows Phone Market, but I have been able to have someone who used my App's name pulled from market b

If you are convinced that .com is parked domain mega-corp that you won't have to compete with, .co is OK if you can also get .net/.org, so can 'own' the brand. Assuming you are startup where company name is product name, I think the more

This analogy isn't correct with regard to future periods, vesting is concurrent with your participation (contribution and effort). The trigger for earning the bonus is not if the company is in business that year, but if you were a member of

It's not a moral dilemma to enforce your rights around a fairly negotiated business advantage, you should protect those just as you would protect technically-created advantages.

I presume by 'user' you mean the IT person who manages existing PBX, either 'traditional' or IP-based systems from Cisco and such? One thing you might want to think about is having a succinct answer to the market opportunity to frame the op

For something you are marketing/selling directly, it is not effective to hedge with two names to the same market/consumer. Even if each name pulls slightly better in different ways, you are losing a potentially larger market that needs to b

Hi hhimanshu - I totally mis-understood what you meant - if you were looking to group states into national regions, your link looks pretty good. I was thinking of regions in terms of grouping counties into logical/meaningful state regions.

His point on twins (triplets ..), where there are parallel simultaneous needs is perhaps different than multiple children, where at some point older ones 'help' with younger ones.
