I have the knowledge in tech to implement it. If you’re looking for technical talent – go to the dev meetups. Do that – nothing else but one product / company / focus and get to $1M in sales with atleast $15% net profit. I think it’s a huge mistake to outsource technology as a startup. I also like to get a sale $$$ ASAP.

Always Be Testing The biggest lesson I learned while taking the site from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month (revenue, not profit), is that there are a lot of great theories about marketing, but no one can tell you the exact thing that’s going to lead to an uptick in sales.
