How can I go about looking for a (very) good programmer willing to do this as sweat equity? In the process of gathering feedback, you’re beginning to develop a network of advisers and supporters. Then spend all your time on two things: talking to people (networking) and creating a wireframe (a simple mockup) of your web app.

Last week, the Trump campaign found itself in hot water over a graphic it distributed on social media comparing the security threat of an increased refugee population on American soil to a bowl of Skittles with three poisoned candies in the mix. Folks were not pleased, to say the least. DebateNight pic.twitter.com/RiFZ6xYGKK.

Basically, the kind of technical people you want for a startup — whip smart, adaptable, willing to work long hours for equity instead of cash and highly competent — that person is probably already out there, doing her own startup. Or massively distributed data persistence systems and algorithms. Social Networking (22).

Topics are an important feature for social networks, just as genres are for music or categories for ecommerce sites. It’s more than just a distribution channel. If you can’t invite people into your office and squeeze a new feature out of them, you have two options: Use social networks or a user-testing platform.

In other tools, it’s completely possible to understand the customer in the context of their digital behavior by going beyond the page tag and into BI or perhaps a Digital Data Distribution Platform (D3P) in the cloud. You may want to bring this data in by integrating with your Ad Server, social network, DMP, or D3P.

In a nutshell, the program provides startups with $20,000, office space, account and legal help as well as a small network of mentors, all of which are aimed to help the companies get to a proof of concept. The cost for the startups is 10% of their equity, which is taken by the fund GeekVentures I as payment.

Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed new rules to govern the upcoming changes in equity crowdfunding for startups and small businesses. Studies have shown that startups fail at a rate between 75% and 90%, so the risk to this new breed of small-time equity investors is real and it is critical that they be well-informed.

What I mean by this is that a lot of folks are perched on soap boxes across social networks, shouting from the hilltops. But, if you’re not taking enough risk, if you’re not scaring yourself, if you don’t think it’s a little insane, then you should get into growth equity. You take a more tacit approach.

I thought it was going to be easy to find two developers, given that I had a pretty large network. Distributing this content is a lot easier when all of your employees are connected extensively across all social networks--Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn. That's something I learned at Path 101.

How to stay lean and iterate quickly while you’re building a two sided marketplace, especially when “network effect” and “critical mass” are the two main focuses? Spend 20% of your time building a network of advisors that can help you. Warning: Typos, run-on sentences, and crappy formatting.

While the quality of content your company creates and distributes is important, most brands treat content marketing as a one-off campaign instead of an always-on effort. Spend time in popular forums or social networks where they spend most of their time. Content marketing isn’t a tactic you use when you need to increase sales.

In later posts I’ll get more specific on how to figure out if the folks you’re meeting are the right people to work with, and also how to deal with issues like splitting equity and paying yourselves before raising funding. I like the mention of IRC, and would recommend Freenode as the best overall tech-oriented network.
