Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S10 Bonus: Eric Leebow, FreezeCrowd

We actually launched something in 2009 and the reality is they had to shut it down because it wasn't working perfectly. And it was very challenging for me because we had a lot of room for improvement and there were certain things that I wanted to do that would ameliorate the platform in some ways that would make it like no other. The first MVP, I should say, was working back then.

But the reality was, is we had to move in another direction and recode some things. And there were certain features that we had. And one of the thoughts that I had was that we can do some things that make it more educational and put some study guides and whatnot in here. But I actually threw out a lot of those ideas because it wasn't really focused on my main platform sort of thing.

So I had to go towards in another direction with the platform. And focus on actually working towards a group photo aspect where I thought was valuable because that's more of a social aspect that I originally intended the platform for.

Took probably four to six years to eventually launch the platform and we were up and running in 2011 and I was very appreciative that we were able to get something up and running and we've been building it and improving it over time. It's always improving. And that's one of the things that we want to make our users know that they're not just stopping at what we have right now.

We really want to make it an amazing platform, not just something that's going to be something they just go to once, but we can come back to. And this is something that they appreciate their time with their college and university community.

Obviously, it wasn't easy. Those were decisions that you have to make, and they're not always the easiest decisions to make. However, I went ahead and followed through and found a new developer team that we would work with that can help us. get in the right direction to make this product a success.

So that was one of the things we didn't necessarily have the perfect product on the first run around, obviously. And sometimes it takes more than one run around to actually get something up and running to make a success. And over time, you have to think about it this way, that Rome wasn't built in a day, right? And the greatest ideas in the world weren't necessarily built overnight.
