Its funny, this last week I once again received an email just like all the others I usually receive each week from some no name VC asking me drive 150 miles to a meeting unpaid. As usual the firm wanted to squeeze 600 hours of research and analysis into an hour of unpaid consultation.
Mobile development is extremely fragmented. Its not like I can wave some magic pixie dust and make everything go away. We work hard to develop processes that deal with this set of circumstances. Part of respect sis some cash in our hands, its that damn fucking simple!
Hell, showing up with a $25,000 workstation and $5,000 cash would have probably produced a better result considering the VC wanted 600 hours of work. If you c an pay the lawyer and the accountant wise up and pay the developer something!
If you cannot pay the mobile developer than you better learn how to develop mobile application and services and learn how to program
