Hi guys,
I’m trying to raise some funds for a business idea, so I thought coming back to my roots would be a smart idea. I’ll try to make this short:
I’m working on a printing directory for the Asian market (though it could work in other markets as well), check it out at http://www.pigments.io. It’s really basic right now (You could search for some listings in Cebu, Davao and Singapore) right now. I’m currently looking for shops across Asia in major cities. My plan is to have them online by the end of the week, then once everything is structured give every shop its own store site, similar to what you can see here: http://www.pigments.io/wip (really early work in progress).
The idea is to turn this into a marketplace like airbnb, so the goal is to make it easy to book a print shop (and fix many issues with print shops in Asia along the way). The truth is, I’m freaking broke. I want to start making money with this next month but I’m ridiciously broke, you have no idea. So I can’t actually afford registering a business. Which is why I started a crowdfunding campaign/lending campaign. I’m looking for donations or people to lend me money (to be paid back) via these sites:
Funding: fundanything.com/en/campaigns/fixing-the-printing-industry-my-depression
Lending: https://www.kiva.org/campaign/3387
I’m a designer/web developer based in the Philippines, so if you are looking to hire someone for freelance work, hit me up. I do graphic/UI design and some web development, I also hold workshops/talks and speak at Google events sometimes and do some consulting for startups (mostly on improving their pitches/pitch decks). You can read about my latest workshop here: https://blog.pigments.io/post/133112744270/material-design-workshop-for-startups-expressing
And my portfolio is here: behance.net/AndreasGalster
Like I said, I’m broke as hell, so I really don’t care how I raise money right now. If you need someone to do some work for you, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me :).
I know, it wasn’t short. I suck at being short about this topic ;). Thanks for your time if you’ve taken the time to read over this.
