Jon and Justin are still moving forward with Transistor. We're planning to launch in July. But we're being realistic: this could be a slow-growing business. The good news? We're both okay with that. We talked through different funding scenarios – VCs, fund-strapping, bootstrapping – and realized what really matters is building something meaningful with people we like. In the meantime, Justin is exploring a side project called Spots.fm (think Calendly for podcast sponsorships). The plan is to start manually, helping a few podcaster friends fill their ad slots, before we build any software.
Show notes:
- Spots.fm – "what if advertising on a podcast was as easy as advertising on Facebook?"
- Spots.fm/story - the Spots story so far.
- SaaS Your Later
- Derek Sivers - Start now, no funding needed
