The journey of a Bay Area startup: Cloud and You |
Cloud and You was started by three co-founders who have a passion for art. During a business trip to London, they visited several museums and connected through their joy of art. After a few drinks, they felt that one missing piece for artists were collaboration and expert critique. This blog will tell you all the ups-and-downs, the frustration, pitching and funding, and all the hard work into building a company. This is as real as it gets. No frills. |
As you guys might know, we have been working our muthafuckn’ ass off this week. So far got in touch with a lot of cool people that are willing to help on our project. Went to have a coffee break with Tuyen and learned a lot of new things we should take in consideration.
Please if any of you guys are working in building a startup, please please do your research. Do all the things you have to to get more and more information on your competitors and market!! I honestly tell you we did the research on those two, but the main thing we didn’t research on was asking for help and the technology side! We are going backwards. We are actually supposed to work on getting and building a good team months ago, buy now we are trying to do that task in 2 months. So please research on what you need done, gather up your team, then execute. We tried to do the reverse!
Besides that, Khalid is working on our coming soon page so we can have it coded soon. We also went to Yard House to meet up with Monte and Duy. We are probably going to work with Duy and have him do our mock up pages now. He is a UX designer and currently working with people in the field.
Anyway, we are bootstrapping hardcore on this. We shouldn’t splurge on having fun now. It’s getting serious and we should focus on our future. So guys who are starting up save yo cash and use it for your business. You might need it!
Just my kudos.
Ciao
