CoopleNet is Cool
Startup costs are $130,000 to hire 2 Java/Android programmers for one year. Most of the Android development work can be accomplished in that timeframe. I will hire those programmers after Step 13: Develop basic CoopleNet coople group. After launching the website, I can use revenue to fund iOS development. My savings are over $500,000 not including my condo, which is mortgage-free. I will get money from the government 3 years from now when I turn 65. If you google "toronto small business grants", you can view a couple of short lists of agencies which fund startups, so maybe I won't have to risk the entire $130,000.
CoopleNet is a for-profit company, but is partially dependent on the donations of the premium users. Donations aren't mandatory, but you get access to a lot of free apps which would otherwise cost you money. Many premium users will elect to donate directly to the nonprofits, and the coople groups are useful to the nonprofit sector, as well as to many for-profit companies. CoopleNet is not ad-supported, increasing quality of user experience.
Because CoopleNet is partially dependent on donations, big companies like Google and Facebook are unlikely to feel the need to acquire or duplicate CoopleNet. If CoopleNet is successful, my parents (dedicated to left wing causes) would be proud that their youngest child, late in life, will have made a difference in this world.
