I've been bootstrapping a tech start-up for the past year (having spent $25k+ on development of our platform plus all the other expenses that come with setting up and running a business) and last week a major competitor entered our niche market.
The money for the start-up was coming from my own pocket and funds were/are running low - it was crunch time, do I throw my last remaining cash trying to catch up with this competitor, or do I shut down.
I asked advice from a number of different sources, and the overwhelming response was to pivot the business by open sourcing and selling services around the platform such as hosting.
After a long weekend of thinking, designing, planning and building, I give to you:
* Opencall http://www.ocall.org
* GIT Repo: https://github.com/calltrackingasia/opencall
It would be great to hear your feedback and to find out if anybody would be interested in becoming part of the project.
