thanks will do!

I see! What type of companies are you looking for? Or are you looking for startups?

good luck =)

I'm in college, 20 years old. I've just started teaching myself ruby and python. Do you think I would be able to develop crude prototypes of apps by the time I graduate college? (in about 2 years?) I've been dedicating around 6-10 hours ever week so far and plan to dedicate more once summer starts.

1) start a landing page using Unbounce.com and reach out to some 1st degree connections to be testers 2) start gathering some data to validate your idea--talk to the people around you and ask them questions that revolves around this topic. 3) If it's a Web app, maybe start working on the mobile UI 4) Research competitors (I would check out Okcupid), partners, financial prospects, etc. Learn the industry and do you homework!

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!

I totally agree with this and if I had to choose between two ideas.

I haven't but I think everything has a reason. If you're really passionate about this idea than keep pushing.

Thank you, Vim is definitely helpful!

hahaha I agree with dropping facebook.

Cheers to you from Georgetown Univ!

-Almost went to Babson... =) Let me know if you're ever in DC, I don't have tech background (currently learning). However, if interested in bouncing ideas... I have PLENTY.

Man, I have the same issue. However, I've decided to stay in school for the time being.

(20 years old, like the other person)

Reasons for not dropping:

1) YOU have a HUGE MARKET. Who know's other college students better then you or myself? Market your product to your peers and use them as your test pilot. VALIDATE your ideas.

2)Also, if you've come up with various ideas and keep coming up with them then you won't miss out on anything. Sure things may change, but also ideas grow and you create new ones.

3) If you're in Washington, DC contact me.

I agree, with phlux, if you're contributing to some of the IP. Then you deserve a lot more or at least partial ownership to the IP.
