Budget for 'business' founder

• · $0 -attending startup events (you're connected enough to get in free, or smooth enough to talk your way in, right?)
• · $0 - google ads to test out landing page design (you'll spend much more time talking to potential customers face to face and participating in the online conversation in your space. So your landing page should get lots of relevant traffic already)
