When we launched Perch, almost three years ago, we had to learn a lot of things and quickly. Despite having a successful services business in edgeofmyseat.com we had never launched a product. In many ways it was like setting up in business all over again, and we’ve learned a lot along the way.

大约三年前，当我们推出Perch时 ，我们不得不快速学习很多东西。 尽管在edgeofmyseat.com上拥有成功的服务业务， 但我们从未发布过产品。 在许多方面，这就像是重新开展业务一样，并且我们在此过程中学到了很多东西。

We’re not interested in investment. We’re not a startup, we’re essentially a small software company. We “bootstrapped” Perch, out of profit from our service business, and it has been turning a profit since day one. However despite not being interested in investment I am very envious of the mutual support network that builds up around startup incubators and communities. Much of the focus around things like Y Combinator and the Brooklyn Beta Summer Camp is to get the startup to a point where it can get more investment. This is a reasonable goal, just not our goal. It does make me wonder if it would be possible to create a community of self-funded software companies based on the practical support we could offer each other.

我们对投资不感兴趣。 我们不是一家初创公司，实际上我们是一家小型软件公司。 我们从服务业务的利润中“引导”了Perch，从第一天开始就一直在盈利。 但是，尽管对投资不感兴趣，但我非常羡慕围绕初创企业孵化器和社区建立的相互支持网络。 围绕Y Combinator和布鲁克林Beta夏令营等活动的大部分关注点是使初创公司达到可以获得更多投资的地步。 这是一个合理的目标，而不是我们的目标。 这的确使我想知道是否有可能根据我们彼此之间提供的实际支持来创建一个自筹资金的软件公司社区。

It seems that companies who are developing and launching products without investment could do with working together even more so than invested companies. After all, we have to fund everything from our own pockets, usually can’t afford to go on a hiring spree to bring in skills that we need, and so rely on what we already know or can learn quickly. If we could exchange our specific knowledge with other companies that would hopefully benefit all of us.

看起来，无需投资即可开发和发布产品的公司，与被投资的公司相比，可以做更多的工作。 毕竟，我们必须自掏腰包来筹集一切资金，通常无法承受招募狂潮带来的所需技能，因此只能依靠我们已经知道或可以快速学习的知识。 如果我们可以与其他公司交换我们的专业知识，希望对我们所有人有利。

As an example, I know a lot about payment integration. I can help a less techie company work out the best way to take payment for their digital product. I am not a marketing expert however and I’d love to chat with someone who is, and could give us some ideas as to new ways we could promote our product. An exchange of emails or a couple of phone conversations could probably save each of us a lot of time or potential mistakes.

例如，我对付款集成了解很多。 我可以帮助一家技术含量较低的公司找出最好的方式来为其数字产品付款。 但是，我不是市场营销专家，我很乐意与在场的人聊天，并且可以向我们提供一些有关推广产品的新方法的想法。 交换电子邮件或进行几次电话交谈可能会为我们每个人节省大量时间或潜在的错误。

I haven’t got a lot further than thinking that this could be a good thing. I don’t know if anything like this exists already. Perhaps all this is to start with is a Google group or similar for those of us who run small, self-funded product businesses and would like to chat to similar people and help each other out informally.

除了想这可能是一件好事，我别无他法。 我不知道是否已经存在这样的东西。 对于那些经营小型自费产品业务并想与相似的人聊天并非正式地互相帮助的人，也许所有这些都是从Google小组或类似组织开始的。

It may be I’m the only person who thinks this is a good idea. If you are in a similar situation and think it would be helpful then leave a comment (or contact me via email or Twitter) and with the knowledge that it isn’t just me thinking along these lines I’d start something up.

也许我是唯一认为这是个好主意的人。 如果您处在类似的情况下，并认为这会有所帮助，请发表评论（或通过电子邮件或Twitter与我联系），并且知道不仅仅是我考虑这些方面，我还会做一些事情。
