    Approaching Manufacturers of Golf Equipment Apparel with idea

    IDEA 
    Strongly recommed you test your market first (look at the paint brush cover thread). Just because you might want it doesn't mean that other's nessesarily will, or would pay for it. If it's so awesome, you should be able to presell kickstarter-style (go to a golf course, talk to the proshop, take...

    Kill or support my idea

    IDEA 
    Kill it. Instead of coming up with ideas, why don't you go to people with money and ask them what their pain points are, and what they'd be willing to pay to have those pain points solved. Preferably businsses, who can quanitfy their pain in the form of lost profit/time.

    Need help with an Emergency Medicine app, or at least some guidance.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Sounds like you've done quite a bit of research. Good Luck! I've always wanted to do an "auto-EMT", with integrated, stretcher-mounted monitor, pump, ventilator, auto-pulse, automatic drug box/dispenser (via the pump) all with an bluetooth iPad integration so the medic can manage a cardiac...

    Need help with an Emergency Medicine app, or at least some guidance.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Running 911 isn't important when it comes to charting - the call sheets are the same regardless of the type of run (at least in VA). There isn't a 911 call sheet and a non-emergency call sheet, thus the datafields will all be the same. Also, the iPad might be HIPAA compatible, but will your...

    Need help with an Emergency Medicine app, or at least some guidance.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I was an EMT in Richmond, Va for a couple years. I know we had electronic charting just starting to come out when I was leaving around 5 years ago (It was tablet-based). I'd be shocked if there wasn't an EMR/charting-type app or solution out there already. Are you sure it doesn't exist in the...

    Do You Have Your Books Copyedited by a Pro?

    PUBLISHING 
    For what it's worth, I'm a speechwriter/strategic communication analyst in my day job. We never produce a product without running it through at least 3 sets of eyes.

    Realistically, is there still money in publishing mobile apps?

    SAAS / APPS 
    Why don't you approach the problem from the opposite direction? Instead of saying "what apps can I develop/what app might be cool enough to 'hit'", you start cold calling businesses in a particular niche and ask them what their problems are. Find a pain point, and create an app around that pain...

    Hello from Northern Virginia

    I live in Rosslyn. Lighthouse and I have gotten together a few times - I don't know if a bigger gathering has occurred. Maybe we all should get together sometime before the holidays

    What happens when no one wants your leads?

    The only reason I'm doing well is because they are so onerous for rental companies to manage. Literally every time I talk to one they tell me about how much they suck for rental companies. Their sucktatude is my business opportunity! Plus, the market clearly (as demonstrated through my...

    What happens when no one wants your leads?

    Update: I went down to the vacation spot (10 hours of total driving today) and met with vacation rental company owners and marketing managers. I managed to pitch my concept successfully - I'm one additional contact from having the entire stretch of beach covered by at least 1 rental company...

    What happens when no one wants your leads?

    Update: 1) Made appointment for the end of the week to visit one of the top 3 rental companies in the area I am working in, and got another top 5 company very interested over the phone. 2) Learned an important lesson with regard to why I'm doing all of this in the first place. It happens to be...

    Tell me why my website sucks...

    HOT! 
    Professional looking, but right away I didn't trust the above-the-fold points above the button because I've seen those all before, and it's unbelievable. My mind immediately went to "if someone has found a way to make erections longer, they'd be a billionaire and everyone would know about it."...

    EXECUTION 
    There are people in the middle class and above who will pay for this, just like you would if you had the money. Go find them and make it happen!

    Fck the bllsht - let's make a difference that really counts!

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry but the kind of help you want to provide is comfort-not medical-care, thus government involvement is at best inappropriate. The only government pitch is that by keeping people in their homes the government will save taxpayers having to pay for expensive residential care through government...

    Fck the bllsht - let's make a difference that really counts!

    EXECUTION 
    I think the idea of government involvement is terrible, but I think the overall concept of a private company providing a full spectrum "mom keeps her home/independence" service isn't bad at all. Having worked in EMS/healthcare for many years I can attest that there is a huge need for non-medical...

    What happens when no one wants your leads?

    I can't think of more highly qualified leads - they spend an average of over 4 minutes filling out a survey about exactly what kind of rental they want and how much they want to pay. I'm going to do my best to really shepherd the first customers through the process so that a) I start to build...

    What happens when no one wants your leads?

    Update - 2 more rental companies have responded to my lead emails (out of 40 rental companies contacted). I've also decided to travel to the area and meet face to face with companies. I've already got 2 meetings with rental companies set up - my goal is 8 in 2 days with 5 total signed up. I...
