Previously I post about Invitation for Web 2.0 project startup my intention to invite developers or enthusiasm that is looking for partnership for a web 2.0 project startup.
While waiting for some good response and for dedicated people out there, I start to wonder why I doing this things and why I’m really want to build my own project and after reading some startup books below is my Startup Flavors.
Personal Project Startup:
Start with a small but persistent happiness. It could be a gap between you and some existing program or web app, a feature no one seems to realize is needed, or just a desire to see what you can code. Add a skilled developer with dedicated time with a desire and belief on your idea to make his or her side project a full-fledged startup.
Key ingredients: KISS Keep It simple stupid! And Get Real! Build from free software/open source and interact to existing tools, apps and web.
Pros: Personal projects are great résumé builders personally and for the team, it’s a great satisfaction for you from other programmers and to show to others developers the tools or web application that you contribute to a world wide web. They can also be the starting point for any one of the other kinds of startups.
Cons: Dedication is the important resource, sometime project suffer from low financial support and its required highly skilled and dedicated developers.
Bottom line: Personal projects are a great way to build your reputation, contribute new tools, service and technology. You don’t naturally like to get a reward (money) and you know it will come along the way naturally if a lot of people are happy to use it.
