As mentioned in last week’s post, we pitched to a development company in hopes of securing a deal in which we could pay a little now and then pay the rest later.
The good news is that they didn’t laugh and hangout; the bad news is that their COO kindly, but firmly said that they don’t do this type of deal, but she did want to see our work estimates for the remaining part of the work. I think it’s more idle curiosity but but they didn’t say no.
I’ll be honest, I was am super disappointed, but not surprised. I know, the fact I was disappointed shows an amazing amount of naivety. It was more a hope that she had the same over inflated opinion of me and this company that I did. 🙂
A few takeaways
- I need to get accustomed to more stress or get out of this game. I’ve been a wreck since about two hours before the presentation and I’m still recovering. This isn’t ok.
- The act of pulling together and delivering the pitch was helpful. The deck had some holes and we need a demo until the damn software is more developed.
- The spring 2020 plans haven’t changed
- Lord help us – we’re probably going to look at UpWork again.
