An app that can help you find your spontaneous experience.
- Japanese for just-in-time or last minute.
- Started by talking to businesses in the city of Monash to find out what problems can be solved.
- For businesses with boards, have a diverse team with various backgrounds and disciplines, tactical and strategic. Be able to communicate well and get along well on a personal level.
- Do a minimum viable product (MVP), give to the businesses and consumers, and learn that what others are saying or not what they’re doing. It makes sales and marketing a lot easier as they embrace the app.
- Spoke to other start-up founders at https://rmitactivator.edu.au/launchhub/ and it was a great opportunity to solve different problems and bounce ideas off each other.
- If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. - AFRICAN PROVERB
- Ripped pieces of paper from a notebook as a business card with a mobile phone number on it!
- Keep the jargon down when talking with potential customers.
- Talking to angel investors and backers, currently looking at Melbourne market in the next 3 months, then 3 other states after that, then overseas.
- Australia isn’t as competitive as Silicon Valley in terms of investors and other start-ups.
