Just to remind people: It's 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. I recently heard the CEO of OpenTable speak. You know, the HUGE success, publicly traded, etc. Did you know it took them over 10 years to really figure it out. Few remember that.

As a reminder, you want to get in the market as soon as possible (a la lean startup) to iterate and learn and look for opportunities and pivot points. That's what we are doing at PackLate.com. We are happy with our progress already, but we are iterating at a VERY high rate of speed, always looking for our next opportunity for even greater traction. Even now, after our last minute vacation rental marketplace has only been open for a month, we see 2 major nearly game changing opportunities for our model that we'll be pursuing. It will take time and we know that. We TRY to have patience.
