No Plan, No Capital, No Model… No Problem
I was lucky enough to be on a panel last week at the Churchill Club, I was a last minute fill in for Ann. The panel was about starting a start up with little to no capital. I’m not sure about the “no plan” or “no problem” part of the title. The panel was great, the other entrepreneurs were:
· Markus Frind, Founder of PlentyofFish.com,
· James Hong, Co-Founder of HotorNot.com,
· Dave Lu, CEO of Fanpop and
· Karen Northup, CEO and Founder of CoreFino.
Each of us discussed the different tracks the companies took to get started; from just playing with software at home, to starting with a little cash and stretching it as far as it can go, to using (and abusing) all your friends bandwidth that you can scrounge up. :) The panel was lead by Guy Kawasaki, who posted the full length video of the talk on his blog.

Congratulations, Marcus. You’ve hit the big time. To think that people actually paid to see you (well, they didn’t know they were getting you.)
If they wanted to talk to someone about starting a site with little capital, they should have asked me to join in!
