Major props to Sanjay for putting on Startup Riot. I got a lot out of it as well. I have to say I always envision myself as a dynamic speaker, but the reality is I should go to Toastmasters for a while. The pitch was good, got feed back both good and bad. However I was proud of the presentation.
Moving on from self deprecation the sate of the business is development. We are currently gearing up for stage two of development for the website. This means getting some cash. Friends and family will be providing the nominal amount to get us to the next stage. We will be issuing convertible debt, the exact details are still being worked up so we can move forward on the 30th.
Finial thought about the the business right now, I have become very involved with the start up community. I have two mentors in the start up world, I participate in events, and read all I can about the industry. I have to say that the Atlanta startup community is very open and welcoming. It was great to see some of the Startup business whom I have seen work very hard finally get some traction at the last event.
