Here are some tools and services that I have been thinking about:
(1) Storage - Google Drive (Do you recommend Evernote or Dropbox or something else? Why?) (2) Scanner - http://goo.gl/FOjrVW (3) Shredder - http://goo.gl/syQUNK
If you could share your list (along with some metrics (time, number of pages, etc) + your experience) that will be super helpful. Thanks!
Where do I start?
Did someone just pick a number? What is the math involved? And does anyone have a first hand experience in having to live without any income for 6-12 months / essentially tapping in money from the emergency savings?
P.S. - I am a programmer, in my mid 20's. I can't fathom the fact that I need 6-12 months of savings sitting in a money market fund, that earns a few pennies in interest every month. Rather, I would save 3 months of cash. And put the rest in mutual funds (Vanguard low-cost ETFs).
P.S. 2 - No car payments, no student loans, no mortgage.
2. How did they specifically convince Riders to join their platform? (I somehow feel this was the easy part, as Travis had Sacca and other SV influencers as part of his close buddy network..and the money through Red Swoosh's acq.)
Very curious to understand the strategies they had in place, to solve the Chicken and Egg problem initially.
Thanks!
Solution: A programmable helmet, that can be adjusted to fit your head. A video panel with a camera, which takes your picture, lets you choose a hairstyle that will suit your facial profile. You sit, it cuts, and you are done. All in your bathroom, while you are sitting on the toilet maybe. (If you are a multi-tasker like me, sometimes..)
Bonus: Get cash back by "recycling" your hair.
Progress: Working on initial helmet design and programming architecture. Shooting to have the MVP/Beta ready by end of July/Aug (hopefully), with one style - Crew Cut. I'll be the guinea pig for the first few cuts.
Future: Will expand to Women Haircuts/styles.
Look forward to your feedback. Thanks so much!
