    Best books to read when just starting out

    BOOKS 
    Currently I'm reading he Biography of Steve Jobs and Founders Dilemmas. Both are amazing. I'd say anyone looking to get into any sort of tech type start up, or really any start up needs to read FD. It's an incredible "textbook" that addresses every issue I've had come up so far. Really helped me...

    You haven't talked to your partner in 10 days? That is a problem right there. You to need to be talking every couple days. If this could've been prevented or seen 9 days ago you would be in a much better place. I would fix that right there first. We currently meet twice weekly and talk almost...

    Well we had our dry run last week and it went really well. We submitted a proposal and are in negotiations for the contract now. They are asking for a free trial which costs us about 3k. Not much to most but a lot to us. We are looking at changing our backend to a cheaper solution and are also...

    Oh man that sounds terrible. That itself would be enough for me to quit. I agree with the cutting of hours. I sit at work and think to myself, if I wasn't sitting here I could be doing x, y, and z.

    Well I got a suit. I feel about a million times better meeting with ceo's, cmo's, and directors. We've been still chipping away at these barriers and are trialing our product at the largest neuro hospital in the region in a couple weeks. That's gonna be a good day. Met with them this week and...

    Walkthrough of my apps. Critiques please

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hands free for us is difficult. We're all to alpha to let something have control over us. I'd rather enter the info in myself. It's built as simple as it can be which helps a ton. I put the muzak in the background to help cover up the back ground noise. It's a million times better with that track.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi guys and gals, I made a walk through of my apps in all their glory. Here's the youtube link. It took the better part of two half days. I used iMovie 08 as that's what I had on my Macbook and Reflection. Any feedback would be great! Mike

    100 MILLION DOLLARS! Or, How to Grow a Successful Internet Startup

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Those upper ended sales are in fact full of barriers. That definitely makes them worth it in the long haul and of course thins the herd.

    100 MILLION DOLLARS! Or, How to Grow a Successful Internet Startup

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Ha ha Healthcare IT. I'm in that arena now and it is definitely an elephant. Big fat and really slow moving. Cautious too. I had my first discussion in April and I feel like as of the last week or two I've been really hitting it hard. So I can completely understand that area of the sales graph...

    Met with the CEO today. Went about as good as it could short of getting a check. She identified a big barrier and said she would make a call to take care of it, long story short. My mind is absolutely blown from today. We've also been focusing some press exposure and have had a couple interviews...

    Barriers, barriers, barriers... That's the name of the game. I see so many threads on here from people looking to have an easy entry low risk type of venture. If that's what you want just go buy a laundramat or something. After going through all the various walls and still not being at the top I...

    I met with an investor today. Options?

    PEOPLE 
    I agree it does seem a little off to me but I agreed to sit down and listen to what he said for the experience. We all walked into this meeting with the knowledge we are not willing to give up equity and we are not in NEED for capital from an investor. He was in sales for a very long time and he...

    Here's a quick update from this last week and today. I was pulled in to the office again on Thursday and said my partner would be working with another medic the rest of the day. My business partner also a paramedic was called in and his partner told the same. We anticipated we were getting fired...

    I met with an investor today. Options?

    PEOPLE 
    Hi everyone. I felt like starting a new thread with this small bit of progress I've come across. Meeting with an investor is probably a question on many people's minds and I met with one this morning. I have been on a bit of a journey with this business and having a partner leave then come...

    Thanks man. It's been barrier central for us but were so close now. It's a process. That keeps me sane right now.

    I'm not 100% sure. We have a couple options which are on the back burner currently. Were looking at a few options but nothing real certain yet.

    The server cost us $11 last month for the data being moved and stored. Issue for us is the HIPAA compliance. That's an additional fee and is set at 1500. This is not "per facility" but total for the service. Were looking at rebuilding the back end not on aws but it's a couple weeks worth of...
