Awesome addition blurred sevens.
On prepackaged software: The prepackaged software was used to keep my initial costs low to get proof of concept. I think of it as MVP phase 2. The first part was my shitty little wordpress site. Once I realized people were interested and willing to pay, I went with a development firm to design the front end and use the prepacked software as backend to keep costs low (20k versus 150k).
On going viral: Agreed that most people dream this is going to happen. I almost rephrased that initially as I am not a fan of believing in it. Viral is such an overused term these days. No part of my marketing plan is relying on it going viral, if it happens thats awesome, if not my marketing plan will continue chugging along.
On angel groups: Im not looking to crash and burn, hence why I posted this. I am trying to get a feel for what type of information these guys want to know and go in there prepared and "loaded for bear" if you will. I am looking at it from their perspective, if some dude came up to me asking for 50-100k, what would I want to know about his idea. That is why I am running my biz plan past two successful businessman I know and a handful of old college business professors, I am sure they will pick apart my plan to the point I want to cry. But i wont cry, because I'm a man and have never cried in my life, even when that bastard doctor removed me from my nice warm comforting womb.
On my team: I have nothing astonishing to present here, which is my biggest weakness. Im a dude with an idea with some basic tests that say my idea isn't another speck of dirt. It may be a small anthill, but thats all I got right now. I have no web development skills, my technology skills are limited to clicking the update icon on my PS3 every once in awhile. The only going for me on that part is I have leadership skills and know how to manage teams.
On what problem im trying to solve: that I actually have a decent answer for. I have a great idea, I'm working on finding the best way to execute it.
But keep that criticism coming. Id rather have someone punch me in the face with reality than clap me on the back with optimism.
