How much do you need to raise at idea stage?
Ideas are just a multiplier of execution. Start now!
Can not raise fund due to the type of product &
service? Sell something online based on the trends
AirBnB founders sold more than $30,000 worth of themed cereal, The Obama O's sold like hotcakes,
so much so that they had to give out Cap’n McCain's for free with each purchase.
I am not just ready yet? Procrastination is thief of time. You have no control
over past or future, just Now!
If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.
