As promised, I will be reporting all developments both good and bad at LiquidCap.
Slightly more than a week passed since I launched the idea and the following has been 'achieved':
- Few blog posts
- Twitter account with a handful of interested people and a 200+ people who are following me so I follow them back
- Decision: we will build the Minimum Value Proposition of LiquidCap as a fist step
- Proposal: Daniel Haran, a real Rails guru and wannabe chocolatier has offered to spec the MVP for LiquidCap
- Partnership Scheme: Daniel gave me an excellent and intuitive idea for talent-funding compensation, I will blog about this later
- A one-line description: "marketplace for sweat capital" coined by my other Ruby guru, James Golick
- Lots of encouragement and informal offers of support both from entrepreneurs and talent
At this stage the concept is still purposely left vague so we can build as feed-back and ideas come in.
Our plans for the coming weeks are:
- Enlist a few ideas and talent the old fashioned way (email, blog, twitter, etc)
- Build and extremely simple interface interface (an MVP) to achive the above
- Solicit more feedback from yo
- Answer some fundamental questions about legal, compensation, etc
- Look for the following partners for LiquidCap:
- Web Design
- Social Media Marketing
- Programming (Rails please)
- Legal advisor
- Startup guru
