Just discovered that a local startup accelerator is actually looking for new startups to fund. To top it off, they now offer a bigger sums of money in exchange for the same modest share in the company.
So, starting today, I'm putting everything else on the back-burner and I'm starting to work on a prototype for a startup I've had in mind for quite a while.
I determined there are two ways to go about it - either write it in Python + Django (in which I'm proficient) and have it be... decent enough, maybe even good...
... or learn Node.js and Meteor.js on the fly and make it the way I envision it.
Needless to say... I've started learning Node.js today. I'm giving myself a week at most before I start writing the actual code and a maximum of 10 more days before I have a good looking (actually shooting for jaw-dropping) working prototype. I'm simultaneously searching for at least one good local programmer.
I have until the end of April to apply for financing, but I know I can be ready much sooner.
