Most of what I write is for myself: writing lets me keep public records of my ideas and sort through issues on my mind. If you would like me to think or write about something specific, you can reach me below. I can’t please all people all the time; but hopefully some of my insight is helpful every now and again.

OK, here's my problem. I have an idea. I build an app. I put it on the Android Market. Considerable effort involved and it's a good idea … if it catches on, which it might. It will also create a unique and high-value mobile ad platform.

So here's the problem. This is a social app, which requires a critical mass of users to be online at any given time. You can't build this business one app at a time. It requires marketing beyond what I can do.

Since I have a product, no partners, no marketing and no money … which way next? Offer a marketing partner equity and get ad revenue flowing? Or attempt to get funding now, and look for experienced folks with the ability to get this product in front of the right people?
