I put in 3 weeks of 20 hour days and one of my partners footed the bill for $20,000 in programming costs.

Everything hinged on a third partner who was the state manager of a national (Australian) real estate sales business.

This guy suddenly decided that the idea wasn’t as good as he originally thought, and he pulled out of the arrangement – taking our market access with him.

We had no formal agreement in place – it was all a handshake deal.
