1) What do you like and not like about the Simple Bills concept? One thing I like about the Simple Bills concept is the convenience. It makes it easy for roommates to split bills without having to scramble when they are due. One thing I don’t like about the concept is the growth limitations. If the owners keep relying on money made from normal operations, they won’t be able to scale as quickly as they could with outside financing. 2) Would you recommend raising funds from outside investors and growing faster or continuing to bootstrap the operations to conserve ownership? Why? I think the owners should raise funds from outside investors in order to grow faster. The reason for this is that as more people learn about Simple Bills, they may want to implement something similar in their own college. Increasing growth would allow Simple Bills to be implemented at as many colleges as possible before other companies start up their own versions of the concept. 3) What strategy would you suggest for growing the business, assuming new investors are brought in? Assuming new investors are brought in, I would suggest that Simple Bills Inc. starts expanding to as many colleges as possible, especially ones with a lot of students. It might also be a good idea to develop some sort of app or website if they don’t already have one, because this will make it easy for students to sign up, seek help if there are any problems, and track their bills. 4) If you choose to raise funds, whom might you seek as investors? If I chose to raise funds, I would seek out investors who provide capital, have prior experience, and have connections in the industry. These investors would be beneficial for the expansion of Simple Bills Inc.
