« Is it crazy to start a company in this economy?
2
- Hi,
A few friends and I decided that we wanted to start a company. The first thoughts that went through our heads were “is this a good time to start a business?” and the answer was yes!
We have all thought about creating our own company, during the many days we have worked hard for others to make other people’s companies grow, but it never happened. Well, the bad economy, people getting fired, and the uncertainty of placing our future in the hands of others was the tipping point.
So we are now the proud founders of Net-Us-Up. We have a set of problems we know how to solve and are working on packaging them in a modern, pay-as-you-go (software as a service, cloud offering or what ever the current acronyms are) package and get users to pay us for our services.
It is exciting, and after only one month of working on this part time, we already have a working prototype of our first offering which is great!
So if you are thinking about it. Just go ahead and do it. Keep your day job, sleep a little less and let your family know that you are going to be busy with a new venture and just give it your all.
Stay tuned, there is more to come.

That’s the spirit! Great post.
Our “babies” have the same birthday.
Great talking with you today.

Personally, I think a down economy is a great time to start a business like yours.
Companies are all looking to tighten their belts during a down economy and SaaS solutions are often times a great way to just that!
Can’t wait to hear more.
