I am trying to startup a pay website in africa and the problem I have is ,no potential partners ,co-founders and the thing most bothering me ,cash..<p><pre><code> At the moment what stands between me and launching is a sweet $2000.my question is, is there a website sort of like kickstarter but for other countries aswell? or the old (now dead fundable).as for employees,am finding it very hard to find people who can code even basic stuff.So I thought I start a programming school in my town where I can teach programming for a charge and thus male some money aswell as identify intelligent potential.Would that be wise?</code></pre>
Well, if you can't get programmers, maybe it would even be impossible to get customers. I live and work in Africa, and I feel that what Africa needs is knowledge and training. Charging poor folks to learn programming may be a bit hard to turn into a successful business model. And if you can't afford to shell out 2000USD, then you have to re-work your business structure.
BTW, how come you can program while others in your community cannot? Are from moon or what? And to produce a programmer from your pressure pot may be impossible. Programming is not something like basic language, it goes beyond that. And learning to program is indeed a hard exercise which might take a long time. Cut your expectations, code your App alone. I wish you a wonderful new year!
