Had a look round the enterprise center at Hull business school  ..facility for office /incubator…main advantage of being there……in a university atmosphere ,with knowledge sharing and students to get feedback from. over 3,000 in the whole department!

Found a webmaster to build the Alpha version of TMI …asked him to code a program which can be developed as the  ” secret sauce ” to add value to the website  ..Investors love some innovation they can license !

We have designed the brochure to use in the HQ. of startup poor in Mian  Channu…will put this online soon ..

Still writing up the report “Are the rich a waste of money ? ” This will be free when published in February 09.

Next problem to solve how to engage Asian students in UK . to use TMI. It’s vital to test any site before going public…. Have got a meeting with the University co-ordinator for Asian students ….hopefully this will be fruitful.

The busines is called ” startup poor ” because we are building a user platform which will offer ; free webspace ; free internet business education ; free news letter .to the literal poor ;  but it is also suited to Western students .. as if they can start without loans/ credit  ( the servicing  of debt is a major reason for business failure ) they are in a much better position to succeed than those with high leveraged projects  ..essentially much of the current failures is inability to service  debts  …

   Let us hear about your startup  ..do put your idea on TMI for testing
