For the most part as soon as the product is launched (about 2 weeks) they will be paying...60% of all monthly revenue generated. More partners are definitely ideal...just scared shitless (pardon the language)about overwhelming our entire group as were stretched thin already...but you're right...more partners certainly does = more money coming in, as well as more proven traction...
I did not know about Highline, but I will look into them right now. Thanks so much for the link.
Its been a balancing act between keeping the momentum going and heading out looking for funding. Sort of the chicken before the egg situation...keep finding and attaining traction or spend more time looking for funding.
With a small team, Im finding I have had to pick one or the other...and my thought has been...keep the momentum going and funding will come...but if you cant keep up with the momentum...then sadly (and quickly) you have to start looking for funding...Feels like an impossible scenario...lol.
For the most part, Im not fearing "others eating our lunch" as our major competitors are in fact established...but that also makes their model established and in some sense, they are stuck with it. Further sort of makes our model standout.
Thanks so much for the tip and feedback throwaway000002. Appreciate it.
Im considering heading to SF in the near future as well...might even be heading there with a couple other bootstrapping startups if we can all get the money together....would love to hear about your experience if you're willing to share it once you get back.
