10 resources:
1.) Adobe elements experience
Knowledge of adobe elements is valuable because it allows you to create professionally designed mockups and convey your ideas to others. Anyone can learn adobe, however, it takes quite some time to master it.
2.) Xcode, Swift experience
This is the most readily used code these days and swift is being updated constantly to allow for quicker app building. This is the code we are using for our app and it is very useful and inexpensive. Anyone can learn code, however, it takes a lot of time to perfect.
3.) Graphic Design experience - Sketch
I am able to turn ideas into designs in the matter of minutes. Also, using sketch's database, allows me to tweak other people's designs that I like and customize them to fit my own.
4.) 3 Day Startup
By attending 3 day startup, I was able to learn how startups function and the speed at which they need to grow. It taught me that you should just build great things that people love. Just go, go, go! and never look back.
5.) Investors
Having investors allows us to focus on the product without any financial constraint. Our investors believe in us and know we will make them their money back.
6.) Friends with other founders
Being friends with other founders allows me to pick their brains about what the next steps should be for my company. They've done it - now I just use what they learned, to perfect it.
7.) Marketing experience with SportsGuru
By interning with SportsGuru, a startup company, I am able to see how to communicate with a team and completely many different tasks.
8.) CTO - technical founder
He is very valuable. He has been coding for about 6 years now and has built multiple websites and apps that are being used by thousands of people. There is a limited amount of highly skilled engineers and he is one of them. Some engineers are extremely hard to work with, yet he remains focused on design and UX.
9.) Technology
The technology already exists for what we need to do. We are just applying that technology to a new application to create something special. We don't have to reinvent the wheel.
10.) GitHub account
This allows us to use code that people have already created to use as our own. This saves so much time!
My most valuable resource is my CTO - he is able to solve technical problems and find solutions for what we want to construct. He is also great at taking my designs and mockups and turning them into a working prototype.
Hey Drew! Wow! Honestly, it's evident you're extremely experienced with business and already employ the skill set of a master entrepreneur. You have such an impressive skill set that being said I can only imagine the network you've built across your experiences. The only thing I would suggest is at least naming your product/service/company's name or relate all of your advantages to the literal ways that your company would function due to them. I only suggest that for the sake of understanding exactly what the product is. Either way, super impressive post!

ReplyDeleteHello Drew,
ReplyDeleteI am highly impressed in your skill sets and your networking skills to formulate a group of developers to convert your ideas to reality. I have interest in learning how to code, but I got a brief overview of what it takes to complete an app idea successfully. You have a great mindset and direction on what it takes to develop an app. This will allow you to flourish in the market, which is key to your success.
