Budget
For this first phase, we choose to focus on an MVP (minimum viable product) that will help prove the process and present it to clients and partners.
The majority of the funds will be dedicated to the product development that will be managed by Udai and based in Calcutta India where the cost of development is low. We calculate the budget across a period of 3. We envision
Spec and development - 1 person for 3 months X $2500 = $7500
UI/UX/Design 1 person for 2 months X $1500 = $3000
Project management customers & partners = $2000
Project coordination $1500
Total budget $14,000
Challenges
There will be challenges on the way to success, here are some:
Challenge 1 - making it very simple for users
Climate change seems a huge issue and we are powerless.
How can make everyone feel they can and should contribute to fighting climate change? How can we make users understand it is possible to get to 0 negative impacts? How to make a user flow very simple and fast?
Challenge 2 - Business model
To grow and scale, we will need to prove and improve the business model which is today based on the corporate social responsibility budget. This will be part of the ongoing work in the next 6 months. Our goal is to generate revenue so we can sustain the growth.
Challenge 3 - Partnerships for scale
Partnerships with leading companies have the risk of the speed of implementation and priorities. We need to find the right motivation and process to make this partnership effective.
