Vision and Ideas 2

Steve Jobs and I had similar tough childhoods. My short work history at 2 – washed dishes, 5- ran a wood splitter for my brothers, first rent collection, first savings account (4) and sister, 6 added yard work; first checking account, 7- scrap metal, garden tilling, sold fishing worms, paid all household bills, all shopping, cut grass at Auto Zone. 8 – 13 got free cable, Atari many other game systems and wasted time with the neighbor girl. 14- started a paintball field and became the youngest NCP Referee in the country # 346. 15 – summer trip from California across the country before being crushed by a Ford LTD. 16 – became a Police cadet under Capt Now – Arthur Littlejohn, city police spokesperson. 17- joined US Army Military Intelligence Signal Corp. while my brothers- Col. Daniel Bulsa Pentagon retired, and Capt Derrick Bulsa- JAG attorney, training all State Prosecutors by Special Appointment of Gov. Nikki Haley after working daily with Congressman Trey Gowdy.
I’ve studied business for an hour a day for many years. My father told me not to go to college- I have 2 degrees. Not to over think- I have a book on Amazon. Not to ask questions or talk to strangers- I talk daily to my customers and students in India. My favorite website is Quora.com (the new Google but, the public doesn’t know it, yet.) Now, Dad says," I know a lot and can change the world but, I have to get rich or no one will listen."
I went to 6 different colleges and lastly thought I was going to learn in business school the training type here at fi.co. I did pre-med because I was socializing with a group that was all going to be doctors and didn’t know what i wanted to do. When I got to med school I knew I wanted to do something different and didn’t know what at the time so, I changed my major to business.
Professional career- I started at paintball field at 14 then, became a police cadet. At 17, I was a third shift assistant manager at a convenience store before following my brothers into the Army. Then, after retiring I drove for FedEx for 6 years before retiring again.
Entrepreneur – I feel I’ve been one all my life. I find a need then fill it. I have turned scrap canning cans into can vegetables to donate at the food bank since age 7. The last time I compiled to make something like PsyCore, I locked myself away for 3 days and wrote a book.
The world will be better when I am a VC like Jason Premo because I will be able to help more people like he does. I miss Premo’s grandfather though, I never met the man. People will listen more to be.
Being a Founder means being someone who meaningfully improves the world through the products they created.
5. 3 Products – These are in my life’s story because they are all problems a lot of people have had. Recap- Changing soft drink caps to reduce waste and use less plastic. PsyCore- Producing better medicines so, we live better, happier because I’ve lost people I care about to soon. Space-X-Changing rocket designs so they are like seeds to get people to Mars faster. It’s nice to be safe.
6. There were three paragraphs here on Brainquicken, Recap, new rocket designs that disappeared, twice. Successes – are easy. Failures teach.
7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thlJZVb3za0 5 pieces of feedback 1. I should talk about the benefits of the product. 2. 5 more sentences here that disappeared.

Subject: Re: Your feedback requested







Hi Jason,

Please remove me from this list and replace me with someone that is not in FI. The intent of this section of the assignment is to send the mailing to people that are not in FI at all. It is to go to family, friends, and/or people that are potential future business associates. Sending to our workgroup will not meet the requirements. That is how I have interpreted it!















I am sending you this email as I start my entrepreneurial journey. I have joined a program to help me develop a series of ideas into a meaningful and enduring technology company. I would like to update you on my progress each week over the next few months.




To get started, please provide me with some feedback on three ideas that I am working on:


IDEA 1: PsyCore

I am thinking to develop a supplement to help your brain function in an upgraded manner through a new unique blend of vitamins, herbs, and fish brains. We will put all Soybean PS manufacturers out of business.

This idea appeals to me because of I have researched many compounds like brainquicken and over 300 clinical trial reports, and it is a good fit with my personality because of a have a passion for this knowledge and have a as in Pre-med and bachelors in business. What do you think?

IDEA 2: A Breakup Recovery Kit

I am thinking to develop products to lessen the bad feelings during a break up to help singles that have been in a broken relationship. The kit will get your feeling better faster than ever before. It may include a list of positive questions in your family, friends voices, funny cat videos, special fruit, popcorns, and stickers.


This idea appeals to me because something like should exist and doesn’t, and it is a good fit with my personality because of these tools are little known and who hasn’t been through a break-up. What do you think?


IDEA 3: Edge DVD

I am thinking to develop App, Website to redevelop interest in movies and DVDs through unique content that will show you amazing things about your favorite movies and shows you wouldn’t be known to ask about to help you enjoy them even more- Stay with your favorite scene, forever. We will plug you into the movies by leaving no questions unanswered and build on the latest news related to your favorites.


This idea appeals to me because I have run a sci-fi convention several times, and it is a good fit with my personality because I have rated over 28,000 movies on Netflix. What do you think?


I appreciate your insights, feedback, and support through this process. Please send me any feedback by Tuesday.


Warm Regards, Jason B. Feedback – Put all Soybean PS manufacturers out of business. “I like it!” 2. In regards to the three ideas, I prefer the first. You have put in a significant amount of effort and unless something has changed since we last spoke this actually is a viable product. I’m having a difficult time with the breakup recovery kit beyond junior high school. 3. Who knows, in today’s society stranger things have been successful, but I don’t see this as having the ability to generate meaningful revenue. 4. The last idea is a possibility if you can differentiate enough from the 1,000 other sources of movie trivia. Maybe take the approach Shazam did – sample a movie and instantly identify it and the position it is in then offer trivia bits in the near real-time scene for scene? Perhaps through Apple TV? You would have to do something that no one else is doing. 5. I like idea 3, We all have favorite movies and it is fun to see behind the scenes clips showing how the movie was conceived and made. While waiting in line for the ET attraction at Universal you are shown background information about the movie and I find it interesting.

What one question have you ever wanted to be answered by your favorite TV series? 10. What movie would you have liked to have been an extra in? 4.(Interview Analysis) PsyCore – Project 1 – Customers that were opening to a new supplement were wide-ranging. They seem to know much more than I would have assumed. There are many vitamins they knew by name but, not what they were for. They relied on “experts” at a store like GNC to “hocus pocus” advise them on what would work for their condition or a family member or friend. They could describe the bottle ( brown) silver or yellow lid but, not the brand. They spent between $30- $60 per month on natural medications. Quick Summary
- a natural supplement similar to brainquicken.com
a new brain supplement -7 vitamins, PS from fish and 11 herbs.
Jason’s Success Plan
•Unique – The only brain supplement that has been formulated from the latest clinical trial results and has PS from an animal source. The first animal mankind ever ate.
•I am passionate about this to save the oceans. Tim Ferris’ formula was dangerous. My formula works and all other PS manufacturers from Soybeans do not.
•No friends or family other than my mother who has studied nutrition for over 40 years are giving me financial support but, I have sold diet and vitamin supplement samples from Walmart to countries all over the world. I have researched many different stores like GNC and my supplement is different, safer, and better than any on the market.
2. Remake Break up kit – My project was way too big. I feel my MVP for this one should be just and app – Galaxy Afformations. Customers did use a lot of different products and methods but, seemed to mostly use music, walking, and other sounds for comfort. This is easiest to be made into an app and is something not currently available. I would like to add the sound of different voices for recordings later. This was a great exercise for finding direction. 3. DVD EDGE – Again my project was too broad. An app application may lend itself to new shows and movies but, responses were age specific. My idea needs to be narrowed and may not be of enjoyment as much to older users. My market would need to be more limited and focused per/series and movie, not as cross-generational of I had originally thought. I should focus on the environment and scenes and not on actors and writers. 5)(Key Assumptions) 1. *Customers are willing to buy and try a new supplement. – *I am making something customers want this goes for all projects. – the production run will sell out at least 30 days from the day product goes on sale. (expiration). – the product fills customers UN-met need or want. GA- customers want a new different app and will use it daily. DE – I can get the info, rights if needed to attach this app (marketing and branding) to the related movie/ show. 6) Riskiest assumptions)(Online Survey) 1. Sold Out. Enough product will be sold to cover all costs before expiration. 2. GA- People want to improve their thoughts. 3. ED – people will use an app as a tool to enhance their enjoyment of a show or movie. Will an audience use an app for a few minutes before, during, or after a session to interact with entertainment to enhance their experience? Problem Discovery
Questions to validate your hypothesis about a problem, or to learn about problems.
•What’s the hardest part of your day?
•What are some unmet needs you have?
•What product do you wish you had that doesn’t exist yet?
•What tasks take up the most time in your day?
•What could be done to improve your experience with [process/role]?
•What’s the hardest part about being a [demographic]?
•What are your biggest/most important professional responsibilities/goals?
•What are your biggest/most important personal responsibilities/goals?
Problem Validation
If your customer did not talk about the problem you wanted to address, use the below questions to begin validating/invalidating that your customer has the problem you think they have. In addition, it’s often not enough to just solve a problem, sometimes it also needs to be one that people are highly motivated to solve. Some of the below questions can help with that too.
•Do you find it hard to [process/problem]?
•How important is [value you’re delivering] to you?
•Tell me about the last time you [process you’re improving] – listen for complaints
•How motivated are you to solve/improve [problem/process]?
•If you had a solution to this problem, what would it mean to you/how would it affect you?
Product Discovery
Questions to help generate ideas or to validate your idea. The below questions are intentionally very open-ended. By asking yes or no questions specifically related to your product, customers may feel inclined to agree with you or not be critical. By asking more open-ended questions, you can be more confident that they’re giving you honest input. If in response to the questions below, your customers tell you they’re looking for similar to what you have in mind, you might be on to something.
•What do you think could be done to help you with [problem]?
•What would your ideal solution to this problem look like?
•If you could wave a magic wand and instantly have any imaginable solution to this problem, what would it look like? – I’ve found that about 80% the time the answers I get to this question are not very informative – solutions that aren’t feasible or most certainly wouldn’t be profitable. But the other 20% of the time there are some really informative responses that make the other 80% acceptable.
•What’s the hardest part about [process you’re improving]?
•What are you currently doing to solve this problem/get this value?
•What do you like and dislike about [competing product or solution]?
Product Validation
Questions to validate/invalidate your idea.
•What do you think of this product? – this question is intentionally vague. Listen to whether they talk about wanting to use the product or how it could be improved. Given how vague the question is, the former is positive, while the latter may be a sign that improvement is needed.
•Would this product solve your problem?
•How likely are you/would you be to tell your friends about this product?
•Would you ever use this product?
•Would you be willing to start using this right away?
•What might prevent you from using this product? – might reveal ways that you could improve the product. Potential hurdles might be budget, time, perception’s of the product’s value, a competing product, etc.
•Will you pay $x for this product? – see if they will put their money where their math is. Often times when you ask this question, no matter how small the price, you will start hearing key insights that you wouldn’t have heard otherwise.
Product Optimization
Questions to help you improve your idea or product.
•What could be done to improve this product?
•What would make you want to tell your friends about this product?
•What’s most appealing to you about this product?
•What might improve your experience using the product?
•What motivates you to continue using this product?
•What’s the hardest part about using this product?
•What features do you wish the product had?
Ending Interviews
Questions to ask at the end of an interview. You may also need to ask for their contact information if you don’t already have it.
•[Summarize some of your key takeaways] is that accurate? – I usually do this throughout the interview.
•So based on the conversation, it sounds like x is really hard for you, but y is not. How accurate is that?
•It sounds like x is very important to you, while y is not. How accurate is that?
•Is there anything else you think I should know about that I didn’t ask?
•Do you know anyone else who might also have this problem that I could ask similar questions to? – small form of validation if they’re willing to give you referrals
•Can I keep you in the loop on how the product develops?
•Can I follow up with you if I have more questions?
7)(Survey Analysis)
My ideas had too many parts.
8)(Second Mailing) 1. brain supplement 2. Afformation (positive questions) app 3. time, temp, GPS location of an actor in a show/ made up world App – display as you watch.
•What’s the hardest part of your day?
•What are some unmet needs you have?
•What product do you wish you had that doesn’t exist yet?
•What tasks take up the most time in your day?
•Is there anything else you think I should know about that I didn’t ask?
•Do you know anyone else who might also have this problem that I could ask similar questions to?

I am creating a shelf life date standard for supplements based on oxidation and temp at the being of the manufacturing process.

Following new legislation requiring a supplement to contain all ingredients listed on the product to be in the product. Whom will be prosecuted the manufacturer or (formulator) seller.
8. (Sixth Mailing) The List Whatsupplement.co intends to incorporate. Legal team to follow. Interesting facts – 1. How much is it going to cost and how long will it take?

2. Is there an easier, more efficient way to do this? Disclaimer, I’m the founder of http://valcu.co, which is aimed at getting the company set up the Silicon Valley way as easily and efficiently as possible. Though many startups justDIY, the best use of the tool is for the startup to go through the questions, and use the access management features to invite their lawyer to review the information before completing it. We’re also building tools to simplify the ongoing corporate needs of the startup, like a cap table maintenance tool, financing document generators and valuation model generators.

3. Is a Delaware corporation right for my startup? If not what entity should I use and why?

4. Will the incorporation setup include putting in place founder vesting, rights of first refusal and IP assignment?

5. Should the founders pay cash or contribute technology for their shares?

6. Should I make any tax elections like filing an S-election or any 83b elections?

7. Does my business have unusual legal needs or risks?

8. When we are raising financing, will you be able to draft and negotiate NVCA or similar financing agreements, implement an option plan and handle securities compliance? Or, do you have relationships with other attorneys that will be able to help at that point?

9. How do I hire people?
