:shaq2: how about the one with student loans :beli:

I would if, it was not about to be updated with Elizabeth Warren's proposal. It has relevance at least until the end of July seeing how Congress will decide whether or not double interest rates at that point. Besides, there's already a link up top for online courses, it's just sort of hard to justify unless this gets heavy traction....it would be hard for me to justify now upping the law school discussion thread.

I'm currently part of a group trying to get a startup off the ground. We had a potential source of investment capital, but lost out on that so we're trying to find other sources. It was a very disappointing outcome but it happens.

Plus get some shyt in beta, use social media to get users of your beta product so that you have something to show investors... so that you can develop your real product.

Plus you were in the military, leverage that network. There are retires with nothing to spend money on who will invest in BS.. Also, some people say there are free programs for veterans to open businesses.

Plus come to Detroit... we are wide open here.. you get a lil buzz an investors will seek u not the other way around. Can Tech Startups Save Detroit? App Business UpTo Is A Start - Forbes

The city infamously known as the poster-child for the run-down rust-belt and failed urban policies, is using technology as a path to rebirth."

Do you have to present business plans to investors?

Do they expect development life cycles and marketing plans for your startup venture?

They expect you to be energetic and passionate. They don't want you to talk to fukking much, or present a huge presentation. Make sure you present enough information... but get to the point.

1. I have this.
2. People need this, I'm solving this need. Random corny example is this... "you know when" sometimes people ask"
3. this many people are already using my app... or the market for this software is already here.. as u can see... blah blah.
4. this is what I need to take off.
5. this is the guarantee that it will work. How we will market it. (if it's venture) how we will leverage ur network.

They usually Dont need a complete break down of the SDLC. Just- " this is the rockstar team of developers ... or developer.. This is how we do it. This is what it does.

They know that u might not be an expert marketer like them and you might be green n shyt... but they want more cash,, you need cash. So they just want to know How to make money - it's better if u have some profit already.

People always say this, but we can't sticky everything. Something would have to come down, I have two other pending sticky requests.

I don't know. 8 or 9 stickies :patrice:


This thread is important. Don't let your hatred of me cloud your judgment. These fields and disciplines here represent the future of this planet as far as economy, society, entertainment, medicine, and much more go.

In the next 10-15 years programming will be probably be mandatory in education circles.

Any of ya'll know folks that do Lotus Notes development? I'm sure it's not as sophisticated as some of the stuff ya'll are talking about doing but it pays bills. Anyway I'm looking to hire a development resource for one of my clients. I don't do development work myself but I've been helping out since we lost our temporary resource. I'm in the HR BPO and Outsourcing field by the way, for those that know, there's a lot of room for growth and expansion into other software development including enterprise software in this line of work.
