Do you have to pay back the money that you're burning?

Nope, it wasn't a loan based arrangement, they own shares. Actually some are willing to loan the company some money, but I would need to be responsible for paying some of it back if things go south. I have some time before then to keep considering it, depending on where business goes in the summer.

the snapchat idea is a marketing game changer
you place a little ad at the event asking people to snap you. rip them from snapchat, edit them into a video and upload them to snapchat as a story
see:
quora.com
your snapchat would be a huge marketing tool & it's made by your customers
you can also make custom geolocation filters, so that everyone using snapchat at the event can will have your custom filter. you can probably purchase it for ~$20 total (time and space - get it while it's cheap)

This is Veeky Forums and my opinion is fact. No really, many people have deactivated for years who I know, I keep hearing 'its dying' and its just a clusterfuck now. People would rather just have Instagram and Twitter, Snapchat too.
Facebook got too intense, too invasive and people didn't like that. The sole reason they're still around is because of Messenger, they hooked people into Facebook in the first place, waited until a few things aligned then made Messenger, it became a valuable method of cross-platform contact.

>too intense, too invasive
lol you think 95% of people give half a shit about that. I know more than most about privacy issues in the tech age and I still don't give half a shit. Facebook is still the best to keep up with friends on.
Gabriel Adams
yeah, I think it has more to do with the fact that people (especially millennials - and I'm 24) love to project an image & Facebook being so holistic makes it harder to do that
if it had anything to do with privacy people would be using duckduckgo
the older generation seems the most active on Facebook
speaking of which, op should be using Facebook ads and cold messaging linkedin profiles
you can target Facebook ads by [city] --[wedding planners] and design the ad around each
Google AdWords has less roi apparently

if you're legit I'd volunteer for your marketing & if you're in the bay area that would be even better
Anthony Hughes
I've played with FB ads but how could I possibly design an ad to show specifically to wedding planners? Like I can choose age and gender but not much more.
And nah not in bay area, but I appreciate the offer.
Cooper Williams
I'd assume wedding planners especially would have "wedding planner" or something as their occupation (they have to be in constant marketing mode on social media)
I don't have any ideas for the ads themselves because you don't want me let me volunteer
