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.
