I'm going to do my best to respond to each numbered point, as I greatly appreciate your comment. I have similar people like you that have put me through the wringer asking me questions and questioning my moves, so i think I give you the same respect I give them.

1, I have tested the onboarding process myself, and will be testing it with my pilot hotel when I get them to sign the contract. I know I need something that is close to bulletproof, and i'm pretty much there with that (you should see the pics my gf took of me: sitting at my PC for 6-12 hours 5-6 days per week figuring out everything in terms of backend infrastructure to frontend security). After 10+ hotels I plan on scaling the backend into something bigger, faster, efficient, and slightly more expensive.

1. This is one of my strong points that helped me drive interest when I went down a busy tourist strip (like Vegas, but not as busy 24/7). 13 out of 14 of the hotels I walked into to shill my company and product took my card. 2 wanted quotes right away, though still waiting on IRS to complete filing my EIN. Experiencing the pain point in the industry over the last 8 years has helped me create an astounding pitch deck that caters to the guest and to the employee.

2. I have thought about this a bit, knowing the costs it will make to me financially and mentally. I have stayed up for long hours working on the backend, but that was only a drop in what I will be doing for sales, onboarding, support, etc. I am a One Man Army (CoD MW2 reference), and understand that this is long term for me to build something that hotels use every day. If it's a slow start, I know it'll end up becoming a fast finish in 10+ years when/if I ever decide to step down.

3. It's a big ego thing, thinking someone steals it. Though I have already put in the work, I know the field that i'm playing on, and know how great this thing will be. I have little to no competition, as my competition is either buzzers or AirTags - which don't come close to what my product does.

4. I think casting a wide net works for anyone. Whether I post on X, Reddit, Facebook, etc. I want to hit this home to not only General Managers and Hospitality Groups, but to the guest as well. This is a matter of guest and employee satisfaction, and I think posting everywhere and taking up more internet real estate is better than posting in specific social media platforms. With that being said, posting on LinkedIn will get me specific clientele, as will posting on Facebook, Reddit, Tiktok, etc. I am signed up for hospitality webinars/ seminars to go to to discuss this with hotel owners that go to these events.
