Raise Hand if experiencing Tech Difficulties

Ask your questions using GoToMeeting

Let’s Begin!

Creating a Supporting CastI've got a great idea for a web

business but I can't program a web site . . .

How do I find people do that for me?

How much does it cost?

How do I choose hosting technologies?

AdvisorsShould I put together an early Product Advisory Board?

If so, how do I do that, and what compensation should be considered?

Building a SkillsetIf I don't have all of the skills needed, what is the best avenue to get them? For

example, I can code, but have terrible design skills

What to do first?

What is your philosophy on getting launched?

Do you believe in the "Minimal Viable Product" espoused by the Lean Startup crowd, or are there other ways to get started building a product?

What should I look for?

What benchmarks can I use to measure my success? How do I know if I should keep pressing on or throw in the towel / change ideas?

Paying the billsHow to finance this new venture if I

don't have $$ in the bank to start with?

Do it while working (chicken entrepreneurship)?

Do consulting to pay the bills?
