HA HA HA based on what? It's an idea.

So I have done some calling to people who would use the product and asked a simple question. If I could solve X for you, what would you be willing to pay for it?

And then asked how many of X can you use per month. Worked backwards from there.

And looked at the pricing models for the API services that I would be using for the Beta code from Twillio, to Braintree + a modicum of understanding how I "think" the application will get used.

Don't knock the power of ideas.

I have this awesome idea for a teleportation ray that will instantly transport me from one city to another. I even have a 15 page powerpoint presentation and I have 4 of my country club buddies who committed to putting up some cash after I got enough long island iced teas in them.

Now all I need is someone to build it for me.

Damn, you know my strategy. However the difference between your idea and mine is that they are drinking buddies that I gave golf lessons to in exchange for money.

send me your routing number, I'm ready to invest.
