That would change the game.

I'm not worried about the data sources. I'm wondering if you know of a user interface that simply builds lists and connects to databases? Not sure if I am explaining this well. Does that make sense?

Good advice. I negotiated a sort of earn-in with my initial co-founder because we didn't know each other well at all. My friend introduced us, and after a couple months I knew it wasn't going to last. We split and went our own ways - It would be nice to get to know some people working on cool stuff even if it has nothing to do with being a co-founder.

This dude tells you exactly how he built a subscription box company to $100k in 6 months, $360k by year end: http://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/2h1mlt/the_inn.... He isn't technical, and actually uses the YC company www.cratejoy.com for his ecommerce platform.

Inspirational. I recommend you find a concept that has reoccurring (high repeat) revenues, just because it's tough to have to keep getting new customers each day.

I think their is definitely a market for this. My question is, isn't Uber doing this already & has much more sophisticated logistics infrastructure in place? Uber Pool (future potential) = efficient pickup of parcels / deliver - on-demand.

This is cool and it's great you are getting into it while you are still in high school! I think bring someone on is a great idea. I have started a few micro/small businesses, and generally it's more fun and good to have someone to bounce ideas off of / help with the ups and downs.

Is the company making money, or is it a free service? Co-founder could be a good idea if you have a friend that you think could be helpful. If not, you could hire someone reliable (maybe on commission?). Or offer a % of company, base on performance. Just a few ideas - for what they are worth - best of luck!

This is amazing, the new triple bottom-line company...? not for the environment but for the people. Interesting times call for innovation everywhere.

Go Pro announced the opposite news today as highest compensated CEO (sold shares).

Personally, I think companies that have decent margins should create a culture of well paying jobs and high value for their employees. I guess this already occurs with companies like FB, Google, Banks, etc.

I feel like my strengths might not be coding in itself, as I am more of a growth / biz dev personality. However, I do love putting ideas into motion and I am learning to launch my own web apps in my spare time (as simple as they may be!)

I feel like this combo is helping me grow as an entrepreneur. Appreciate your feedback :) -- always pushing the boundaries

Thanks for the feedback! Doing that now, just joined early-stage startup and learning how to build a growth engine... seems like a natural fit for me.

As they say hindsight is 20/20, I just thought it could be interesting to get people's perspective. Thanks for your advice!
