Execution is key. We all have ideas. I have them. You have them. The server at Cheesecake Factory has them. But most people are lazy, they just wanna Netflix and chill.Wish I could have time traveled to 5 years ago and made a dating app like Tinder
Good lord I would be raking it in right now
Empires rise and fall. Facebook came after Myspace. Itunes came after Napster. You don't have to be the first to succeed.
If you want this, learn the basics of Ruby, or another language. Get an MVP up and get seed money. If coding isn't your thing, because we all ain't built to look at a blank screen all day and type in lines and lines of code then go find a co-founder. Lots of tech events in our backyard in Silicone Beach. It's still wild, getting $100k seed money isn't even that hard anymore.
There's at least 5 startups at my coworking office that are doing apps. These young guns working late and on weekends to get things up.
I think about this at times. Everyone has a smartphone now. By 2020, it's said that 70% of all population will have smartphone so it's only going to get more popular. Coming from our side, as dudes, we think nothing of it. But it's scary from the girls' side because of stories of dudes raping and killing them after meeting on Tinder. I'm sure this is being worked on somewhere...incorporating a layer that checks your background to see if you're a registered offender, felon, etc. to somewhat offer peace of mind.
And as VR becomes more viable, I have no doubt that this will somehow be tied into online dating as well.
