Surely possible, and proven to work at a small scale (less than 50ppl I would say). If you have people who are not afraid of leaving their comfort zone, who like to push forward, learn new things, inspire one another and are communicative, then it turns out that you can do a lot, including marketing, sales & HR even without specialists (one thing I find crucial is outsourcing the accounting, especially if you live in a beaurocratic country).

At rspective (http://www.rspective.com/#team) we are 11 people, _everybody_ is a software dev with strong technical background. E.g. we get lots of sale opportunities despite the fact that no-one in the team has any real experience with sales. We hire people by ourselves. We run marketing actions/campaigns. We are pragmatic, we figure out how to do things on our own. 2 years on the market and it works out perfectly for us so far.

I'd love to read a sample chapter or at least a few pages before buying the complete book.
Chicken & egg. I once started with a similar idea - meeting sport buddies - but on a country scale. I found it very hard to gain enough traction for people to actually be able to meet each other.

Because.... what value does it bring for Joe who's living in SF, that Jane from NY wants to go for a work-out? I think "importing" events from other sites is one option to get things going (still - quite a lot of effort). Other idea - is to start locally, run a big ad campaign, get in touch with sport centers, etc, then "conquer" other cities, one by one.

Good luck! :)

Why shouldn't I go to Scandinavia?

Hi,Is Scandinavia a good place for coding?I consider moving from Poland to Stockholm|Malmo|Copenhagen|Helsinki|Oslo. I'm a software developer, I seek challenges (not only project-wise, but in general), I'd like to make some business contacts and money.1. What's the demand out there for devs? Any place in particular?2. Is speaking the local language a must?3. How easy it is to make some money...
