ForumsStarting a Business

By the way we are looking at US Market and my question was to provide services to US schools.

Luckiest,
BackGround:
It took me considerable time(2 years) in developing the product "skoolbag" with budget from my paycheck, driving the developers in india. Since i am technical architect have experience in multiple markets, i have taken lot of design issues in the product, looking at scalabilty in future. Right now i am in process of launching the beta version on my colocated dedicated server. Once done, i can as well show the launched website.

What the product offers:
It has web access to parents, teachers, students to keep track of their day to day things like emials, assignments(still under construction), many more. I can show you what i have on the demo sample school ,after its launch. It also admin console for resitrars, principals, (name any role with restrictions) where administration can be done. Here is where you can setup school, classes, teams, enroll, fee management, attendance manegement, grade, reports etc.

Buyers: school districts, Individual schools, play schools, Universities, international schools.

what i am looking: i am looking for marketers for this product. i am also looking for mentors to revamp some of the areas in the product to suit to US school standards.

Budget: I can pay for sales we do.

Emial me at hithesh.gazzala@gmail.com for more questions and after few exchanges, we can set up conference call or possible meet.

Thats pretty neat lighthouse,backed up with lot of funding. THey are more focussed on learning. My product is focussed on overall school management and in future will include podcasts and e learning (which is our future goal). We are focussed on parent-teacher communication with SMS,VoiceMail, digital maintanance of all school activities, variety of reports,

For all this, we need to move ahead make some sales.Our pricing model is very afforable too. Since its beta, we are looking for step in market. Once we have revenue model working in place for one full year, i can invest back to development and be competitive. As per your suggestin, its very sensible, affordable to hire some retired, subtitute teachers or administrators having expertise in school system , who also adds marketing . Since we are startup company, its very added advantage for them to grow along with us. thats wise advise.

Keep me posted with more thoughts. Thanks for all.
