Yes. Label everything "beta" until it gets tweaked to final version. Unfortunately, my life is still in beta. But some day it will be final. :-)

Shawn,

Nice post! Great information on raising capital. The pitch definitely seems to be the key...a feature which needs to be rock-solid and stand out from the crowd. Maybe one day I'll need it. As you mentioned in some previous posts, however, bootstrapping is a great alternative for those starting on a smaller scope. With my writing business, I already had a computer, in-home office, etc. I once spent about $150 on a pdf. creator. Other than that, I don't believe I have ever spent money on my business.

All the best,

Yoni
