NYCPHP Meetup

[Joseph Crawford]

I have a great big idea too, there are only 2 main competitors..  
downfall is i do not have the ability to fund the project even though  
i would do all the programming myself there is server admin, front end  
designer / js guys etc.

The only way I could get this off the ground would be to use a  
template (i refuse to) or get friends to join in the deal.

Trying to sell something to someone for 10% of ZERO is not going to  
work.
