This document provides guidance on starting a new social media company with limited funds. It recommends first building a demo product to prove the concept before seeking investment. The document also suggests registering for trademarks, researching competitors, contacting accelerators and investors for guidance and funding, promoting the product at events like SXSW to generate interest, and seeking press coverage and potential sponsorships from large companies. The overall goal is to get the social media product off the ground and proving itself before having to rely solely on investment.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

9. Trademark Territories
NZ - Not to expensive or tricky.
Australia - Red Snap-R Fencing??
UK - Cheaper to do multiple classes at once
USA - Mid price, need product in market to complete.
Eurozone - Not cheap but covers 27 countries
$3200 approx total for coverage worldwide in key classes.
10. No Money.
Hard to raise money for social media with just an idea.
Better to build something and let it prove itself first.
11. Development Partners.
Having a cool service / app out there is more valuable to
developers in its early stages than it is to cash investors who
would have money tied up in an unprofitable company for 2-3
years.
In the early stages everyone needs to be a fully involved
partner, not easy to find social media friendly investors in NZ.
12. Approaching People
Start with your current employers.
Try not to expect the world for nothing in return.
Try to get together as much money as you can.
Its good if people take a bit of time to decide whether or not
to get on board.
13. Business Plan.
It doesn’t matter how cool you think your service is,
eventually your business will need to be a business.
At some point if you don’t get investment you will be left
behind.
14. Research.
How to build a business case?
www.crunchbase.com - Stats on other peoples funding.
www.compete.com - User numbers / traffic stats.
15. Make a Demo.
Flash demo can help explain the concept before final dev.
Having an actual product to show makes you much more
impressive.
16. Contacts.
The Icehouse - Development advice, connections to investors.
Escalator - NZ Angel Investors.
NZTE - Advice for international expansion, some grants maybe
Friends and Family -Maybe not for money, but see who they
can connect you to.
17. South by South West (SXSW).
http://sxsw.com/interactive/accelerator/
Biz-Spark Accelerator app only costs $130 USD.
2 paragraphs about your company, 2 supporting links.
Get on the US stage (they aren’t looking to NZ for ideas).
18. Press.
Being only NZ company in finals has helped us a lot with
getting the press interested.
In the end you are going to need to do everything you can
to promote your service so may as well start early, but be
careful how you frame the story.
19. Sponsorship.
Getting press opens up more doors for relationships with
bigger companies.
Most major companies will have a social media person in
their marketing dept who will talk to you.
