Really like the narrative format. When did ppl switch from full sentences to word salads on slides?
-
I don't know. This is the only business plan I've ever seen. I'd never read one before this, and have always refused to read any people have tried to make me read since.

Neither. It's because I assume existing site builders don't do everything I want, and that I'll therefore have to write one before I can move the site. And that's not the project I want to work on right now.

You ran a SaaS web app on 28.8k server?

That was good enough for demos. I think by the time we started charging users, we might have had something faster.

Interesting it says you guys were looking for a "business person". But sales and partnerships was something you ended up picking up right? What's the story there?
