After I was really down about not getting onto the second round of the SET Challenge, I was driven to continue to work on my start up. I met with Alex from the digital learning lab and he recommended I look into Xcode if I wanted to code it myself. I also met with the head of the Digital Learning lab who said I was going in the right direction, but recommended I follow a few steps such as understanding why the user would download the app, etc. He said yes it would be good to work with the Creative Computing School, but it would make more sense to work with a student instead of investing my time trying to learn how to code and do everything. Although, I should learn some of it in order to communicate to my collaborators.
Luckily, the day after I found out I didn’t get onto the second round of the SET Challenge, I was approached by a member of the Facebook Group High Fashion Talk, and he was interested in my mobile application. He had just recently completed his first streetwear mobile application, and was interested in venturing onto the next, more challenging one. He had just gone through the same experience I was afraid of, so he knew the steps to go along and how to do them properly which has been very helpful thus far and hopefully in the future we can be Co-founders!
