Startup Addict Musings

The web entrepreneur community is underway. We are gearing up for a big marketing push, even though we are currently live in public beta now. To take advantage of the web entrepreneur community known as Startup Addict, be sure to do the following:

Sign up and create a profile among 5 different user classes:

1. Entrepreneur
2. Investor
3. Advisor
4. Service Provider
5. Job Seeker

Then tell the web entrepreneur community a bit about yourself and ambitions. From there click on Startup Central and search other users and startups that have joined the community. In addition you can also hit the browse key below the profile button in the header and search for users that way.

One of the more important aspects of Startup Addict and to take full advantage of the web entrepreneur community is too adjust your privacy settings to be public. Be sure to leave users comments on their whiteboards and give generous mojo where applicable.

Startup Addict has finally launched! The startup social network was intended for a memorial day launch and ended up being closer to labor day. Fast, Cheap and Quality….you only get 2 of the 3 when you bootstrap and I clearly didn’t get the fast (although cheap may be debatable at this point as well).

Anyway, very few bugs remain in version 1.0. I have about 16 bugs on my “to fix” list including the long awaited videoplayer on the homepage that will showcase both aspiring and successful entrepreneurs who are utilizing SA.

For those of you who forgot what SA actually is, no hard feelings since it has literally been a month since my last posting. The following clip will hopefully refresh your memory.

The programmers were clearly overwhelmed with SA (hence the delay) but at the end of the day I think we nailed the essence of it. Version 1 is the meat and potatoes and Version 2 will be the dazzling polish and web 2.0 fun we have all come to love.

I will only have a few more postings before I migrate this blog to blog.startupaddict.com.
