DESCRIPTION

In this light hearted presentation I did in MEET networking session, I would like to share with you 10 tips I have learnt when developing FAME, a Facebook application that has been selected as top 50 startups in fbFund 2009. http://apps.facebook.com/famexchg Maximising your savings in an early stage startup is extremely important, but how low would you, and should you go? When does it make sense to invest, and when not to? Some of my content is inspired by Jason, http://calacanis.com/2008/03/07/how-to-save-money-running-a-startup-17-really-good-tips/.
