Seedcamp – impressions

March 20th, 2009

After intensive day in Warsaw at Seedcamp, we are very excited to implement new ideas form people that we have lucky to talk with to make TimeCamp a better application. We gain lot of recommendations & feedback like dealing with people concern about privacy, letting outsource the data storage and so on…  

Seedcamp is a good opportunity to rethink some ideas from a different points of view (we had talks with 17 IT professionalists), networking and find business partners.

SaaS – opportunity for frequent upgrades

March 11th, 2009

Thanks to SaaS model our users don’t worry about updates. We can post small upgrades even every day, and users get them automaticaly. We think it’s very comfortable and will try to get from this fact as much as we can by releasing upgrades often.

Feature: Avarage time per shift

This feature is showing average time per shift for app/site detailed view for better understanding “time killers”. Log in and check this new feature! How to interpretate  it? If average time per shift for an application is very low (for example 30 sec.) you should consider to think about how you use this app and try to use application longer for one session.

Tips for solo enterpreneurs

January 12th, 2009

Here is a great article containing 4 tips for solo enterpreneurs (but I think this is misunderstood title for article because this points could have also great impact on multi enterpreneurs businesees). Here is a fragment:

Put a priority on revenue generation.  Founding entrepreneurs have to spend the majority of their time looking for customers.  This doesn’t mean creating brochures and newsletters; it means getting on the phone and pursuing referrals.  

When entrepreneurs, especially service providers, come to me when their young companies are in jeopardy, I often find that they are working long, long hours.  Unfortunately, they are working on the wrong tasks.  

To bring discipline to a work week, I encourage entrepreneurs to set aside at leasttwo or three full days (ideally, the same days each week) for active customer solicitation.
