As I mentioned in the previous post, Jeff Fluhr (founder of StubHub) recently stopped by my Entrepreneurial Finance class to share his 4 Lessons of Entrepreneurship with the students.

To that last one, there is certainly some truth as the standard time vs. revenue chart in most business plans looks like this: Im not teaching Entrepreneurial Finance this semester for the first time since Fall 2007. However, I am teaching the ELAB and a new experimental course (The Silicon Valley Experience) for the MBA program.

One of the discussions that ensued was about how to bootstrap a freemium venture. However, how do you get to critical mass, and how do you finance the period during which this business runs on red ink? How much time do you budget for red ink financing? Once there is critical mass, lots of business can, indeed, happen.

I have an interesting project idea, but it requires seasoned programming skills. Infiltrate the social networks (Facebook and Twitter) and then try to connect face-to-face.
