@rrhoover no, but I'll give anyone from ProductHunt a discount on my arm tattoo. 10% off, but I can approve or deny the tattoo :)

@rrhoover @mbrwolff will SW cover the tattoo costs if its of a wolf?

@dean_glas thank you! I had a startup before that was a transparent TV (pretty cool). Towards the end, I wanted to finance the manufacturing, so I went to local nail salons and asked if I could pay them to hang the TV in their window. I then went to local yoga studios and juice bars who shared the same audience, and got them to pay to advertise on the TV. The concept took off! I quickly realized that my product wasn't solving a problem; I was. Small businesses don't know how to advertise. And, I was monetizing the excess space of the salons, so the space was cheaper. I took a step back and decided the best way to scale would be to create a marketplace that both aggregates traditional ad space (such as newspapers and TV) and crowdsourced ad space, creating a one stop shop for advertisers and automating the ad sales process.

@jrwallenberg thanks for the upvote. The chicken or the egg problem is tough. The markets we're focusing on all share the same audience/market, so that makes it easier. We're concentrating now on building our inventory of space owners and ad spaces, but we're noticing also that users are selling ad space to fund their ad campaigns, so they're effectively acting as both "sellers" and "buyers."

@mbrwolff Cool - great to see that both sides are helping each other. Thanks for answering!
