Lunch meeting with Bryan. Talking about goals, direction, and what we are seeing. Some of our conversations were talking about our team, the next vertical, and what are our plans to get there. Where do we want to be in a month, two months, a year, etc.? Great conversations. I gathered that Bryan has been out selling this thing (adilas software) for the past couple of years here and there. Not fulltime, but he has been hitting the streets. He has some good information and things that I could glean from his experience.

As a side note, what if our next business vertical is selling our kick butt business engines to entrepreneurs or outside parties and helping them skin it and market it. That is right in line with our value add-on core model. Let's do that. We have a generic business tool, on purpose. Now let's start putting the industry specific skins on it. Build out the API, build out the ways to do the custom skins, etc. Go in that direction. Keep finishing up the MVP (minimal viable product) for a full-on business engine. Go sell the engine.

As a follow up - as I was driving home, I had a few thoughts. I sent Bryan a text saying that our next business vertical could be selling our business engine to other parties. He wrote back and asked, who would be our competitors? What language would they write it in? Are you thinking open source or something different? Great questions. I wrote back and said... I'm not sure. On the language question, if we build it, we will code it, using the languages that we use, and then put it on our servers. If they used an API, they could host it and use any language that they want. Some good questions, we might want to look into this a little bit deeper. Fun lunch meeting and fun to think about ideas and options.
