Summer of Beta...
Nice moniker huh! Zibadoo is rolling about about 10 initiatives over the next 75 days...our target is a fully operational system, top to bottom by the first day of school here in Austin; August 27th. All the kids will be back in school and all those seniors, fresh with new privileges, new cars, new cash cards will be heading out for lunch every day of the week. There may even be a few enterprising juniors in the mix too! (I did...never let one to let authority stand in the way of fun!).
We added a stellar programmer last Monday - Steve Smith...roc star! We are lucky to have two bright young women who are currently in the last year of their respective grad program at UT come on board to help with our messaging...and a ton of other stuff we semi-purposely withheld from the interview process! :) just kidding because what really happened is we were overwhelmed by their enthusiasm and 'buy in' of our concept, that they want to contribute...we're giving them plenty of room to go to work! Amenah Jaffery and Beth Walters.
And, our illustrious "Street Team"...lead by our three founders Charles Wight, Charlie Eastberg and Ryan Young...these guys are phenomenal!!! Is the future of America and the world in doubt? I say no way...not with kids like these coming up thru the ranks of civilizations!
So, we'll see how it turns out...I am very optimistic!!!
more later....
