Max and I are in! We submitted our idea to The Mill two weeks ago, and today it is official!

It started with an experiment on Facebook. I just wanted to engage my audience on Facebook, so I typed up a simple status update and hit submit.

“The floor is open for questions.”

What happened next was a ton of fun, I had an incredible amount of engagement and conversations with many of my friends on Facebook. It was mostly playful and fun, but it was more engagement than I had with anything I had posted in the recent past.

A few days later I did it again. Same engagement, same experience, very satisfying.

Then over the next 7 days, I saw a few of my friends do the same thing on their walls! Ah…Validation! With some prodding from my now co-founder to make this experiment into an app, we decided to submit an application to our local Idea Accelerator, The Mill.

The Mill starts with a $5k investment, two months of office space at the downtown co-working space Work In Progress, and sprinkles in a few great mentor-ships and networking opportunities.

So here we go! I can’t wait to see my friends and peers open the floor in the near future!
