Whatever happened to Mass Address?

Tis the life of a startup...

As a reminder, 8 out of 10 startups fail. The number one reason why a startup fails is that they run out of money. Mass Address is currently experiencing this issue right now.

The economy is so bad that my small business can barely feed my family and support Mass Address, along with the expenses incurred by the business itself.

I have had to shut down the systems that connect the State and Federal networks. It costs a little over $100 a month to keep that system online.

Even with shutting down that system, we are still hovering around $200 a month in infrastructure costs. These are critical systems that cannot be shut down.

Ashton and I are supposed to be heading to the NPF in June. I don’t know how that is going to be possible because the airline industry is also on fire. I looked at tickets nearly two months in advance, and they were around $500. That is RIDICULOUS.

Life is working very hard to shut down my life's work. I just want to see what happens if I don’t give up. My number one complaint is the fact it costs over $200 a month just to keep the dream alive.

America has never needed a CIM more than it does right now. Apparently we have 20 million undocumented residents living in our country. Mass Address could separate the wheat from the chaff. Who is going to pay for those singularities?

The American people must see the value in taking ownership of their online identification. People are not products. Without the correct infrastructure in place, the data brothels will continue buy and selling human identification.

I have to keep treading water. Moses had to wait 40 years before he saw the burning bush. I turn 40 in August. Where is my burning bush? Synapse told us we were 10 years ahead of the market last year. That means we are only 9 years ahead this year. Do we really have to wait 9 more years.

I respect all of the tech OG’s. I know most of them never had to wait as long as I have but they definitely had funding by now. If only we can get PMF! That elusive PMF!

Live long and prosper
