I believe you should concern on the quality of the business first before you raise any capital. $695-$1200 can be alot of money for some local businesses since landlords are killing them with high rent. The key here is to train your sales team to show your potential advertisers the Math. Compile data and show them if they spend $695 they can get 3-6x that in return otherwise chances they will call you can cancel 6 months later. Numbers never lie so try to focus on tracking how many students click or view a particular ad and maybe come up with a conversion funnel analytic data for the local business owners. This can be a powerful selling tool.

If you can bootstrap it with profits then stick to it. Growing something too fast can lose the quality of the product. Once you have happy paying customers, growing it exponentially won't be so hard.

I love your idea, love your design, keep it up.

Game begins with 15 seconds. Each fish you catch will add 2 seconds to the timer. Out of time, shark will eat you. Maybe we should add a message box before the game start saying "Fish Fast Before You Get Eaten"?

Mobile will change the way people buy and sell online in the next upcoming years. I would get on the trend now and maybe start creating ideas to build apps for retailers.
