being in the digital marketing / growth space I really enjoyed his talk and consider it one of my favorites next to paul grahams.

Startup School Guide: Growing Technologies

After the first couple lectures from 'How To Start A Startup' I came up with some ideas of how to go about my next startup.The points I came up with are:1) Find out a side project to work on instead of a startup idea2) Just learn3) Choose a growing sectorMy question to everyone is if we could compile a list of any growing technologies that others as well as myself can focus on and start our own...

I was able to make a mockup app, if anyone is interested in seeing what I'm doing you can reach out to me by twitter @kmetral

Have you had any luck finding a developer on Odesk that can deliver good work? I have used Odesk for other sites I had built and it was pretty bad.

Building an app like what I want would cost a lot, maybe 10-20k which is a lot of money go invest for me. I will either build the app myself or hire a good freelancer.
Re:Not sure what to do with my startup idea on Tuesday September 23, 2014 @12:41PM (#8356267)
so build a website to create hype and collect emails? I have seen some apps do that

that was something I thought about as well.

That was a great blog post, thank you for sharing that with me. I'm going to start learning how to build my own prototype.

I just signed up with Prottapp and I'm going to do some designs so I can see what I want exactly, thanks for that recommendation.

I appreciate your help, this is definitely going to help me a lot.

Good idea, I have some basic programming language but not enough to code something like this completely on my own. I'll start reading up on Phonegap and seeing how I can narrow down exactly what I want to get it a cheaper price as well.

That Medium story is awesome, thanks for that!

I definitely agree with you, to get a very good coder to put their best effort it will not be cheap so maybe looking for a partner could be my best option.
Re:Not sure what to do with my startup idea on Monday September 22, 2014 @07:20PM (#8353235)
Thanks for the help! Yea this would not be my first startup so I know developers are approached everyday with tons of ideas to get involved in.

I got accepted into Startup School so I'm looking forward to seeing who I can meet up with that could help me out.

As for as spending my own money, you are right, I have done this before and ended up being super expensive and outcome was not that good.

I know there are many of talented coders on here so if there is anyone that is interested in hearing more I'm more than happy to speak with them.

Not sure what to do with my startup idea

I have a pretty good idea for a mobile app that I want to develop that is based on musicians and their news feeds, it is not something revolutionary but it is missing in today's world and actually something I would use everyday.I am not a coder but my forte is in digital marketing as I have been doing it for 8 years and pretty damn good at it.Building an app today is something that is all the...
