my real update

My real update is that since that trip to San Francisco, CA is that I find that I myself have been woo'ed into a startup company (and it's not GiftStarter).  The feeling is surreal. I'm now the COO of a company called CakeCodes Inc.  It's a blockchain-related company.  We've been getting to know each other since 2015 - more as acquaintances.  2016, I got more involved with answering questions/templates/pitch preparation.  2017, I got even more involved...  so now I'm the COO.  I'm wearing the mantra of Sheryl Sandberg these days.  I think about finding bottlenecks, data, processes, people, scaling and systems.

On GiftStarter, I haven't given up yet.  GiftStarter is functional and usable - group gifts can still be done today.  We are doing zero marketing or advertising.  Zero.  It is auto-running right now on autopilot.  The market timing, positioning, ... product, all needs some more tweaking.  

In the meantime, the opportunity is real.  I'm completely in with CakeCodes!  I'll write more on what this opportunity really looks like.
