PROGRESS OF A STARTUP ——- SIX

without comments

Nearly finished writing up the report  ; ” Are the rich a waste of money ? “  Whilst researching this i came across a book which Bill Gates was influenced by..” The fortune at the bottom of the pyramid “By C.K.Prahalad…Essentially it suggests ,as does my report, that the poor should be looked upon as a huge untapped customer base with immense potential for contributing their intellectual abilities and not seen as a burden.

 However it is , i believe, making the same mistakes as the present administration of foriegn aid …it is suggesting a top down method of administration..it wont work well for long term development.

 The another problem ;it suggests no means of the poor entering world markets at nil cost , no mechanism to enable the the poor to generate income themselves.

 See my report for how this is possible…

 We have now enough computers ready to ship to Mian Channu  ..must get a final costing on this

 We are progressing with the Alpha testing platform and hope to have this ready in November. The techie building it worked for Microsoft in USA. now runs a computer shop with special interest in networks.

 Some of the ideas being tested are giving interesting results  .eg “ Divers leisure wear “20 visits per day  ( keep in mind TMI is not being promoted ) ” entrepreneur ” seems to be a key word used to find the type of startups we shall be helping…

Mohammad will be visting Pakistan soon to set up the office and survey the market for interest in the business services we shall be offering.

It is such a pity Pakistan gets a bad press..the majority are getting on with their lives and are very interested in enterprise education..we can see the potential for many Pakistani students using their creativity in the global market ..especially intellectual property..that is why we are building a “creatives ” Team in Mian  Channu. 

Things are coming together but never as quick as you would like..the next main work is to produce promotional literature..brochures;business cards;articles etc….we made the mistake of doing this too early before we had a clear idea of the final business model..dont make that mistake ..it costs you money and time !

 

Let us know how your startup is progressing…….take care    humbird
