1. The very beginning

So here we go, the very beginning of what I hope will be a magical journey as we enter the most competitive market of all; developing a mobile app we want the world to use.

Are we mad? Possibly. Are we delusional? I hope not, but one or two very clever people have suggested that we may just be! Are we in with a chance of doing something spectacular? Yes, I really think so. Which is precisely why we are here. So let me tell you a little more….

Just over eighteen months ago I was frustrated by a problem that I wanted solving. Having spent the previous four and a half years establishing myself in tech startups, I asked myself the question — do I have the capabilities and know-how to solve it myself?

Eighteen months later, i’m proud to say i’m writing this as the CEO and founder of a tech startup, ably supported by a talented and dedicated team, all working hard to build a business around my vision. In November 2015, we will be launching Clipsta, a place to collaborate all the photos, videos and group chat for your life events.

Over the next few blogs you will learn more about Clipsta and the highs and lows of how it came to be. I’ll also elaborate on our hugely exciting aspirations to be a globally recognised app and let you in on the secrets of what it takes to bring an app to the market.
