Andres has started to tell the story, so I better get my basic version out fast.
Andres had an idea to pay a lot of money ($600 was a lot at the time) to put a picture of Waldo on a website. That sold ads.
I told him a couple of good reasons why it was a dumb idea.
He answered them, I thought about it for a few minutes, walked to the ATM, and got $300 out to buy my equal share of the business (Andres had the idea but not the funds).
Two and a half months later, we sold the site for $800, so we each made a bit of money, and a great story to tell to friends, future employers, family members, and anyone who cared to listen.
We will get more into the details later.
Plus, you placed yourself in the top 10% of all online businesses, by turning a profit…
