I intend starting an animation startup, but i currently do not know how to go about it. I need advice on how i can go about and necessary skill and tools i'll need. Thanks

This will depend on what your focus would be e.g movies, series, ads etc. Then you can start talking about personnel and office space or remote stations, electricity etc then money to at least keep you afloat for some time. email chimatic@gmail.com if you have further inquiries.
