I wanted to know which choice is wiser - try to save up money with a CMS like Drupal or go with a flexible framework like Django or asp.NET
The project is a startup for cars that includes: - marketplace cars and all kinds of other vehicles - marketplace for autoparts - marketplace for tires - marketplace for all kinds of services around car - washing, repairing, etc - booking - vin checking versus 3rd party databases - chat/messaging systems - ratings - statistics - owner tools - my garage - where you put data about your own car - promo codes/vouchers etc. - ...
...in other words, it is huge. It is not the classical startup of 2 people in a garage, but instead a business with funding that aims to topple the leader of car selling in Bulgaria (small country).
It would be tremendously helpful to state what your experience is (how good you are at either), have you had specific experiences you didn't like with either and what other specific things might be a problem for one or the other.
Any thoughts or guidelines will be super helpful, so thanks in advance.

I want to gamify my startup, but i can't find good resources. Most of the How to" are vague and at concept-level, rather than specific steps. I googled this question I have been on the wikipedia for gamification I have most of the famous books on gamification
Nowhere in those i can find how many levels to have, on what does it depend. How many points between each level couple, formulas for knowing which task brings how much points etc
How about you? Were you able to do that, why or why not?

I know everybody is here is fan of 'build it yourself' but while building it I have this business plan and with my partner decided to go around family friends and other potential investors for investment. same question comes up again and again - "How do you value the company? You did you decide to ask for X percentage for that money you requested? You have no earnings and so you can't use a ratio to value your company at Y."
I know the 1/(1-n) equation which tells me how much it's worth to me and is basically the bottom line - not where I should start the negotiation.
Somebody suggested that maybe I should have a formula such that the investors have a better deal but I have the option to purchase some of the shares back upon completion of some of the steps of development. Makes sense, but is this even done?
So I am still in search for a way to determine how to present such a financial request to potential investors.
Any insights?
