On the day of Miigle’s public launch, we chatted about developing his team, lessons learned, and how World Cup soccer fits into his vision. For example, take someone who is developing a travel solution as a mobile application. You can be an entrepreneur and at the same time you can be a mentor or an investor to someone else’s project.

It is generally a soft touch at the beginning of the development process, perhaps identifying 1-2 early alpha/beta customers to help flesh out use cases to be built upon over time. Seek advice from a mentor.
