Hello Fastlaners,

I am starting the process of creating and launching an application with myself and three business partners. One of my partners has begun the coding/development of the app as that is what his strengths are. As we wait on this process to complete, what are some key items we should get working on?

Among the list we came up with;
  • LLC formation and Bank account (too early?)
  • Powerpoint Presentation / Pitch - Deck
  • Marketing strategies
  • Logo creation and sketches of various application screens
  • Capital - We have about $50k in combined capital to dump into this project once needed

We are struggling with other ideas of what to work on with our free time. Some of us argue it is too early in the process to start talking to possible investors / business partners for our app if we don't have the tangible application built to demonstrate. Would you agree? Also, I'd love to gather some input on other things we can start working on or brainstorming.

Appreciate the help!
