Perfect Pub-Based Get-Rich-Quick Business

| 15 Comments | No TrackBacks

In that ideal world of making-millions-while-sitting-in-the-pub, the new boom for cell-phone applications is the perfect pub-based industry.

 

 

Sitting in the garden of The Spring in Ewell last Tuesday night, three of us came up with a trio of great new cellphone apps:

 

You shake your phone and it makes a noise - like a rattle, or a drum roll or a  bagpipes' swirl.

 

Karaoke backing tracks

 

Rhythms from different musical instruments so a group of you could improvise a band.

 

With Silicon Valley VCs investing $383 million in new start-up companies developing cell-phone apps in the first half of 2008, these three apps should be the core of a decent business proposal.

 

Seed funding required is £147,970 representing: Cost of pint £3 (including crisps and nuts), X 3 ( for three people), X 7 days a week (no slacking), X 365 days in the year.

 

The market appears unsatiable. Apple report that in the ten days after the 3G iPhone launch, 25 million apps were downloaded to it.

You should file a patent on shaking the phone to make a musical noise idea but, due diligence shows a couple of problems in the cost model.

£3 x 3 x 7 x 365 = £22,995 not £147,970

also it doesnt make sense to scale by 7 days a week and then by 365 days a year. So actual funding requirement for first year is only £3,285. Maybe you should increase salaries and allow for more than one pint/day!


I like the idea of a motion sensing phone - WII remote style. For shaking at call centre, double glazing callers and perhaps throwing at brick walls when it (or all life come to that) goes wrong 1

Or throwing grenade style through the air with a pleasing whizz followed by an 'explosion' sound ?

I thought realistic cost projections were considered amateur. 147,709 is at the very bottom of numbers worth VC interest.

You made a good start with bad numbers, but you missed the bigtime by forgetting to add in an extra decimal place.

1,477,090 is a number sure to get funded !

Ciao people, I am brand-new to the website, but I've been searching for this forum for a long time 'n I'm so glad I finally got here.

I'm 21 years of age and doing my bachelors at Houston.

I am the sort of guy who enjoys to try unused stuff. Right now I'm making my private pv panels. I am making it all by myself without the help of my staff. I'm utilizing the net as the only path to acheive that. I came across a really awesome site that explains how to contruct pv panels and so on. The internet site explains all the steps required to [url=http://solar-panel-construction.com]making solar panels[/url].

I'm not really sure about how precise the info given there is. If some guys over here who have experience with these things can have a peak and give your feedback in the site it will be great and I would highly value it.

Thanks for reading this. U guys rock.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
