I’ll email you offline.

You are brave and thoughtful for sharing this. Very commendable. There are other ways to have more kids if that’s what you want and I’m happy to discuss what we did and are very happy with.

Nevertheless, I think your message of “build something” can be applied to most start-ups and it’s left me feeling inspired to do more. Thank you!

Cool, are you bootstrapping the biz by getting into the hands of users or seeking to raise capital or (hopefully) both?

Interestingly enough, our “company” created a MVP just last weekend with a team of “engineers.” Keep the posts coming!

Me and two of my business partners recently started OptiLaunch, a start-up dedicated to the development of innovative Android applications. We launch our first app in early July and look forward to creating many more. We are completely self funded, but will definitely have a need for investors in the future, but I think whats important is having something tangible to show them in terms of results from our first self funded app to prove future success. Nothing sells more than proven results. Follow our progress on twitter @OptiLaunch or on our blog optilaunch.wordpress.com
