new startup

Startuplog: something new is coming…

Hello everyone! Some months ago I announced you a very sad news: my full body virtual reality startup Immotionar shut down. It has been hard for me and I already written a detailed post mortem on that experience. But surrending is not an option, so…

… so I can tell you that I’m working on something new. A new idea with a new team. A new hope.

We’re following all the path that I’ve depicted here from the idea to the company estabilishment. We’re just at the beginning, so we’re still at the stage that the idea could be rejected by the market… but, well, I want to believe in it. We’ve chosen something that we can afford in doing with our own abilities and that we’d like doing. Something that we ourselves would use.

I know, it won’t be as awesome as changing completely virtual reality adding full body… but I hope it will be an amazing adventure anyway, in which I will be able to create something new and with which I will be able to have fun.

You can start with all speculations now: what will be my company about? A lot of people has adviced me to go for adult entertainment, but I don’t want to steal the job to Daniel of VR Porn :D. Who will be in team with me? Gianni is now happy with his new job (good luck to him), so won’t be part of the match. What are we exactly doing right now? Not sunbathing, since there’s a lot to do..

I’ll reveal all this in the next times. I hope to have your support since the beginning, because creating a startup is always super-hard and I need all your help possible. Feeling that you stand by my side will give me the strength to go on and fight against all the difficulties. Some incitement in the comments section would surely help me having a smile in these days!

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a great Jim Rohn’s quote that I’ve found in a post of one of my favourite Medium authors:

The greatest reward in becoming a millionaire is not the amount of money that you earn. It is the kind of person that you have to become to become a millionaire in the first place.

Wish us luck!

In this tutorial, I will explain step-by-step […]
