₦airaland Forum

danjumakolo:
I mean u need forum like nairaland which is basically html.This can easily be converted to a mobile app using phonegap.This will make it run on all the platforms like ios,Android,windows etc

lordZOUGA:
Sounds like you want to create a data mining platform. That doesn't seem social. It looks like a tool for political propaganda. This tool will mostly interest politicians or aspiring politicians. Unless those are your targeted users then...

JackOfAllTrades:
@op even if you can't say the full idea, I'm sure there is a name for it or perhaps an example out there, programmers need to understand what they are building, then evaluate level of complexity and project duration even before they start. Your project is still kinda vague and I think that's what lordZOUGA trynna point out too.
And lastly a little info about financing is important.

JackOfAllTrades:

JackOfAllTrades:

Ongoing Learning

So it's been a good number of weeks now deep in the trenches of the startup life. I've tried to focus on selling to and learning about my customers. It's not been easy but been quite an experience. Over this time i've gained more insights into what the customer will most likely pay for and use. This insight has translated into a slight pivot in our product and customer focus.

Having done all this learning, i'm now in the process of putting a team together to execute. As most startup advisors will tell you, the only roles one should hire for at an early stage tech startup are - Sales and technical/ coding. These are the only roles we are thus hiring for. As we can barely afford salaries. I've decided upon intern like positions targeted at post NYSC grads. I'll train and manage them closely on short term contracts. Whoever shows promise and delivers will be progressed on to more executive roles.

As for technical talent, this will be a challenge as we can't realistically afford the type of people we will like. We are hoping to strike lucky with someone who would have a passion for what we are trying to do. Time will tell.

This week i get to attend the global entrepreneurship summit in Nairobi, I'm hoping something good comes of it. So if anyone is going there, you can check me out at the innovation marketplace on the youth and women day.
