Hi all,
The other day I was talking with some friends when I came up with a business idea. For context, I'm a college student.
I asked myself: "What is something that all college students want?".
They want to have access to parties and social events.
I thought, why not create an app that shows you the live parties that are near you. The problem, however, is that I don't know any coding or programming. I have a few questions I would like to ask:

1. First of all, is this a good idea? Something that can scale down the line? I personally think so. If it works at my college, it can work at others too.
2. How should I go about the coding of the app? Should I try to meet a student here at my university? Problem is, I don't know any coders. Should I go on upwork and hire someone overseas. No idea how much that would cost, and communication down the line can be a problem.
3. On my end, I'm going to contact the fraternities, sororities, night clubs, and bars in my area that I know a lot of student frequent often. I need to somehow incentivize them to get on board with using the app, with submitting when they are having a party, how many people are at the party, what's the overall dress code, and a feature that allows them to tell the users of the app, in live time, how awesome the party currently is. Perhaps I can simply start with some friends who are at frats and sororities.
4. Another thing I want to do is start a social media page around this app, in order to build it up by the time it will be released. I want to go door to door, ask my friends to do the same, put the club on social media...

What do you think Fastlane?
