Solve the calendar management problem

Happy to put my money where my mouth is.

I have to solve every single one of the problems you would need solve for my existing business with IguanaX (www.interfaceware.com).

I managed to triple book myself last week. The invites came in from a chat on Messenger talking to a contractor, clicking on a CEO friend’s calendy link and then an email from one of my kids teachers.

This sucks!

Ugh.

Maybe there is a solution out there that I just don’t know of. Text me on 1 647 283 6785 and tell me about it.

A friend of mine suggested https://interfaceware.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=IXB&title=Calendly but she could explain how it would:

• Allow me to accept an appointment from my son’s old school teacher in email to deal with an urgent problem and

• Then reschedule with two other people I had booked into the same time

• Oh and it wasn’t that the times were overlapping as such it was the fact that one appointment was physically in the West end of the city, one was virtual and my kids school is way over in the east.

Does Calendy take into account travel time already? May be it does?

Is there some other cool start up I haven’t heard of which can handle all the above problems?

To message people effectively you need to select the time and platform they like - how do you do it? - that is another problem that could be a billion dollar unicorn with the right execution.

Actually I think you do.

My whole vision is to make coding accessible to anyone. With code you have all the control you need and it’s simple.

Lets meet in real life (shock horror) and talk about it.

I think some people would be willing to pay $10 a month for this service.

So that is $120 yearly revenue for 1 person.

If you can get 1000 subscribers then this is about $120k in revenue which would be enough to break even.

1000 is a pretty low target. A smart entrepreneur could just continuously optimize the bottlenecks in the system to scale to 10,000, 100,000 users.

At 100,000 users the revenue would be looking more interesting at $12 million in recurring revenue.

That isn’t even considering the upsale potential when you start to offer other services.

Other companies like calendly in this area have become unicorns. A unicorn is a company with a billion dollar valuation. See https://interfaceware.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=IXB&title=Calendly

You could use:

• IMAP Email Feed and the Slack Notifier Adapter

• Put a Miniature Website together

• Figure out the growth analytics just like we are doing instead of using the POS Hubspot content (mis)management system.

I think the right person could have customers with a working system in a matter of days. Then you just have to start solving one bottleneck after another and scale this like crazy.

One flexible thinker I think could bootstrap the whole effort. You can get a free AWS instance and install IguanaX on for free - there is no licensing system in IguanaX.

Put together version one, get some some friends using it.

Get a website Miniature Website and a few customers. You can do it entirely with IguanaX including your website and analytics.

Then relentlessly get up each day and solve bottlenecks

My team and I will support you along the way.

Yes. But one cool thing about Iguana is we’ve had years of experience making stable servers run on our customer's own computers. It’s possible to sell a version of the service that corporate customers or high net worth individuals could control themselves and see that their privacy isn’t being compromised. See:

You can use From URL to create your own version of that site. It’s a bit rough at the moment.
