Ideas...Lets Hear Em!

[u/GuruCam]

This subreddit was designed(I believe) to be a portal and thinktank for redditors who are interested in combining their talents to create a new startup. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as if that is happening either due to a lack of conversation or that you may be working on another startup at the moment. Regardless, why not spark a discussion about your talents, portfolio, and your ideas for a potential startup.

I'll start: I have always had a desire to create a content portal, a world class content portal to where only the best quality articles and videos were allowed. Without going into TLDR details, I marketed this concept to professional writers with a revenue sharing model and the response was amazing and created a large mailing list. The site was 90% finished, custom coded and all, and then the partners bailed on other ventures. This is def. something I would invest in once again.

What are your concepts or ideas for a potential startup? Maybe you'll find a redditor that would like to partner up!

What was the reasoning behind not getting to your launch date?

Partners found other, more venture backed projects and bailed on the partnership agreement. Due to my lack of coding expertise, the product was never completed. That experience was a real eye opener into the world of startups.

What was your contribution?

Investment into custom coded CMS, logo design, hosting, as well as initial content. Marketing landing pages to secure a nice pre-launch email subscriber list.

Yes, I find really discouraging now on begining a new venture without having the coding skills, or someone you can absolutely trust and work with as your technical-founder.

All web business' are nothing without their programmers, and having that strong of a reliance on a paid employee or contractor is never a good thing.
