How to startup from nothing
Missed the news?

sold his internet startup
for 30 million smackers.

That kid codes. Maybe you don’t.
Bootstrapping 101
Pause this slideshow. Let’s get you an idea.
Do your research. Make damn sure your fresh
new idea doesn’t already exist.
Where and how to pitch your raw idea
Expect to have to hustle to build your
initial team.
All the while, always be learning
If you’re neither coder nor designer...
Be the glue, not the solvent
Look for the HUNGRY.
Throw back those who won’t go all-in.
Some startup people and lean “cool kids” are quick to tell you
aren’t following the tried and trued rules.
PLAY with your team - and show
them off.
This stunt pissed Fathead off, while Daiper dug it.
Mainly, we share our startup story - the warts and all.
Share studies that support your hypothesis
Feature your people on your site
Thank but also share and repurpose the public
compliments your first users give you.
Show the world how far you’ve come
by sharing your early versions now and then.
Show people your first wireframes
(I got this idea and many more on transparency from Dan & Dino of Triberr.com)
Prove to users that you use your site
yourself!
Share screenshots that show users what they can get
from using your site/app to it’s fullest.
how you used RiteTag to get a startup
going...
Or if you need a hand in making that happen…
Write saul@ritetag.com or video call with me in
Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SaulFleischman/posts
SKYPE’s okay too: osakasaul
Mention this SlideShare if you connect-request, please.
I’ll be happy to help you startup from nothing, too. If you can get from slide 1 - 23, you probably have
the attention span required.
