WANNA SEE WHAT MY TEAM IS DEVELOPING?

I thought I would do a different blog post today. In light of my absence because I was so busy with my start up, I thought I would share some UI images of what we're building. It's a competitive eSports platform. Our team is focused on building multiplayer league games. With a team of roughly 15 people and bootstrapping from nothing, we will have something to show to investors waiting by the end of December. What we will have is a minimum viable product which is an early demo for early adopters to try. Bare with the sub in images as our concept artists create our own. Hope you like it. My team definitely looks forward to future users playing our competitive league games.

Here's a sneak peak:

JUST ASK!

As an entrepreneur, I've faced enormous obstacles. Just imagine yourself on a very steep hill trying to push up a boulder 10 times your size. Why do I say that? Because that's what building a company feels like. People think that entrepreneurship is glamorous when it's really not. It takes a significant amount of time. It also requires you to pitch to ask for money to put into your idea. It's risky. However it is also rewarding. I pitched my companies idea through email and in person in the thousands. I kept all the 4000 rejection letters I've sent out. What did I get out of it? A little bit of feedback, some perspective, and I grew a very thick skin.

As a non-technical founder, I come from digital media from the creative side. One thing that a big chunk of investors look for is a technical founder. I've had to recruit and build my start up in a different way. One of the things I've learned is to simply ask people for help. Not all of the time you will get a yes from people but the worse thing that can happen is that you will get a no or a maybe. That's not so bad right? So one of the most valuable lessons I've learned is to just ask. It has led me to  meet the top people at Microsoft, the Founder and CEO of Electronic Arts and so much more.

So just ask.
