No Plan, No Capital, No Model... No Problem

Date: Jun 25, 2007

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.
