And there&#8217;s still time to register, as they mention in the video. Looks like the meetup for the DC area is on August 14th! (Or the 24th? Website and video don&#8217;t agree.) I hope to make it there.<\/p>\n<p>They mention that the weekly updates should include some measurable metric. Since I haven&#8217;t launched yet, I suppose my metric will be &#8220;weeks until launch&#8221;, which I am nervous to estimate because things always take longer than you think they will. However, here is my initial estimate:<\/p>\n<p>To do list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set up home page to tease potential users, collect emails (today)<\/li>\n<li>Get algorithms and GUI to a usable state (4 weeks)<\/li>\n<li>Create user log-in system paired with payment system &amp; user forum \/ guides (2 weeks)<\/li>\n<li>Incorporate the company (1 day) and launch!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So six weeks until launch! Good luck to me. (No promises, obviously.)<\/p>\n<p>One of my initial concerns is: should I limit growth to make sure the service can scale? I guess it&#8217;s too early to worry about that though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Startup School 2019 has begun!
