What have we accomplished?

So far, we have settled on the business model, market sector, secured the domain, and defined a few basic features.

What do we need to do? Continue defining more features while avoiding feature creep. We could then move on to the actual UI and layout, including a logo. After that, we would need to define a clear marketing strategy.

Am I worried? Not much. The service fills an existing need while having the potential of tapping into a much larger market - if you can make people happy, you're going to win. So, what's that little bit of worry left? Marketing. I don't care if a business has the answer to a "need" shared by the entire United States - if people don't know about it, they can't use it.

I'm curious how many people are involved with wantsy.com and what sort of background you have.

Andrew,

Only two people - myself and another internet entrepreneur here in Michigan. This is a *very early* stage startup; just past the idea phase.

As for background, there really isn't much to be said - this is one of my first ventures to progress beyond the idea stage. Everything else just seemed to snowball into something super complex.

Also, I know many Andrew's - care to share which one you are? :)
