Our Startup Struggles & Triumphs: SeaPeople App is Here! 🧜

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Riles and I can't wait to hear what you all think... 🤗 Download SeaPeople today and let us know your thoughts in the comments below... (it's FREE!): seapeopleapp.com/slv

[@seeinghuman]

Wow! What a blessed enterprise! I've had moments of inspiration, for something similar for Vanlife - and now I'm contemplating trading my wheels for waves.

[@DidiPort]

Riley and Elayna Your positive attitude serves you well, and you followed your intuition. I feel this will be a wonderful outcome for all involved, creator and users alike. Congratulations to all involve for sticking it out, you have dropped comments and hints from time to time and now it becomes real. What a wonderful name for the App “Sea People” even the name is a very good choice. BTW your App will need to evolve, have patience and an Open Mind, go with the flow of what feels right, piece of mind and a calm disposition will serve you well. I for one will be sitting back and nodding my head and wishing you well!

Wow….I am a tech person, I get excited about the difference technology can make, but I have never seen an ad/promo for an app like that, I’m emotional, I wish you every success. Passion for a project is everything, it drives all the ups and downs, when the right group of people come together, anything is possible!!

Elayna, could you ever have imagined what would come from your idea to post a video back some 10 yrs ago. Wow, I have been watching you guys for a very long time. It’s not surprising that the O.Gs of sailing channels would be so involved with such a trend setting app of today. What a great team. The struggles are what makes us, so thanks for showing the background ❤

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

No 🥲 I can’t believe the past 10 years and everything that’s happened. Not sure I ever will! Very grateful.. thanks for being here 🩵🩵🫶

@@SailingLaVagabonde It's a long way from those first videos. I think Video #6 was taken down due to some music (copyright?) ... otherwise, there's a documented story of your last 10 years right here on KZbin.🙂

[@naturaleza-viva]

Oh my, beautiful cinematography!!!

[@rew3103]

Nice one! Jean-Michel, a Canadian and from Ottawa... makes me proud that he could help facilitate the evolution of this much needed app.. As a boater from Ottawa for the last 50 years, it's much appreciated that there is now a platform to help consolidate and serve the boating community, though I don't envy your teams task of managing the app as it explodes in popularity. Truly, best wishes and congrats!

[@themadgranola]

I’ll add my 🙌 for Jean-Michel stepping up and representing Silicone Valley North… I’m across the river from Ottawa, but work in IT in Ottawa. We’re all very proud of Shopify around here. This just warms my chilly Canadian heart. 😂 Well done ❤

[@michaelthomas567]

I have been in big tech for 30 years. Do you all have any idea how incredibly rare this type of engagement is? I mean, like... you won the lottery... twice... on the same day. Well done!! Just wow!

[@valarya]

As someone who has worked in software development for over 13 years - and now manages software Engineers - this was FASCINATING to see it from the perspective of the original idea. Congrats on the app and its success so far! 💜 I downloaded it in Beta and reported a couple bugs (bc that's just what I do haha) and see they've already been fixed, which means the team you have on it now is doing a great job!! 🥰

[@Neilhuny]

Awww, you're a better person than me! 30 yrs in software development and I stood back, letting them make the mistakes without my interference! I haven't yet looked at it. Side issue: I was slightly involved in the first outsourcing the coding of some systems for a well known British flag carrying airline to India: lots of issues, lots of passionate desire to do well without the necessary technical and industry knowledge, and strange working hours. Interesting times.

[@david.seholm]

They went from waterfall to agile and suddenly there was light. I wish something was said about that in there to help the cause ...

[@RS-pu7hu]

The story, visuals, animations- just everything about this video was amazing! Kudos to the editors, videographers and producers!

[@chris-cole]

What I love, like just stand here and watch this was literally mind-blowing considering how they started off and how they've grown. From camera to go-pro to full cinematography is so warming to see the achievement.

[@ronhudson3730]

What a story. Your tenacity is astounding and admirable. That you are living your life, your way, is inspirational. I'm 70 and it's been a great ride thus far but this story and your story is a masterclass in how to direct one's life the way one wants! Great story about the project.

[@jreitsma]

Really appreciated how you took the time to honour people who let down your vision. Well done!

WOW!!!! HOLY SHIT this is MAJOR for you all. a HUGE congratulations. Good people deserve good things. And you are some of the best.

[@PeterBartlett-l4z]

Having retired from IT and then helping IT Startups for the past 10 years your story hit so many chords. Great idea, right mix of people and a technical ‘white knight’ - you guys have made your own luck. Wishing you much success with SeaPeople and I hope it expands to encompass broader sections of the ocean community, not just cruisers. Congrats ❤

[@DavidTangye]

Me too: systems engineer and yachtie. A great story, with so many truths about creating a startup, and developing software, eg especially 'Plan to build two systems, because you will end up throwing the first version away anyway." etc. I am so pleased that they got top experienced help before the venture went too pear-shaped. Perhaps they could have reached out / networked a bit more a bit earlier, but that is too easy to say. I am looking forward to spending some time with the app.

[@corinnelaborde421]

Congrats!!! I am not a sea person, not a boater at all however, I have been following your lives and your story for many years now. I love your philosophies (most of them :)) and your family. I wish you all, all the best. Many many blessings to you and once again congratulations!

[@jeffbroome5192]

This guy IS amazing! No wonder you push out an update practically daily. He IS the real deal for sure... It's always a beautiful thing in the tech industry when an incredible/much needed idea meets a unicorn coder and the result is a work of art like SepPeople. Seriously you guys... Congratulations

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

When a person can give a little when in need, the world is not that large... Jean-Michel is one not afraid to step out of the box. I would say he has the heart & insight that reflects passion Jean is right up there with Elon Musk of the world... Today is a good day.

You guys are phenomenal! I’ve been sailing with your family for years…mostly when im lying in bed. Living vicariously through your stories has given a wonderful level of richness to my life. Thank you for your channel much love x

[@Mr4pete]

I couldn't have said it better, Phenomenal is the word. I love boating people.

[@EdKendrickDDS]

Ditto.

[@stephenwire]

One thing to keep in mind is data security as you will be reporting and storing data location on people. If that is compromised it could put people's lives at risk. Everything the app does which helps people meet and connect can also be used to stalk, steal identities, theft, or even kidnap. Finding the right balance of features and security will be critical. Hopefully you have created a feature where people can "go dark" for periods of time for their own privacy or security.

[@RGMGFitness]

My first thought as well....a big consideration. Safety first..

[@sailingisconservation]

Terms and conditions; that’s always been the game my friend.

[@sailingisconservation]

Watching this video gave me the chills! Absolutely brilliant! So glad you guys hung in and the right people showed up at the right time. I’m not a sailor but have been watching sailing videos for the past 3 years or so. I had no idea about apps and code etc. I love you adventurous sea people! This would also be a great tool for the Coast Guard and rescue groups. I’m in awe! Happy sailing! 🛟⛵️

[@peterhertz5417]

I have followed you for years. This episode is the best! It's a perfect example of storytelling, with so much passion, very good footage, and a bonus for letting the people talk and explain their own thoughts at their own pace. It´s amazing what different people can achieve by working together; hippie sailors, coding nerds, and tech gurus! Of course, there´s a lot of blood, sweat, and tears behind this, nothing is for free. Happy greetings from Sweden!

[@cfossto]

I am a coder. You were too nice to the first team.. Now, imma start saving for a boat so that I can download the app. ❤

[@blackrocket2000]

Firstly I'm not sure how this “film” documentary was put together and produced, but it has to be the best and most professional production yet. But secondarily you guys helped make this happen “behind the scenes” while carrying on with your day job, specifying a new boat etc and bringing up 2 young kids afloat. You should be very proud of your achievements. Just don’t burn out. And well done!

[@Kenneth_Usher]

Amazing story not everyone out there is out to rip you off. There are more good people than bad people in this world.

[@poohshmoo9892]

this is the most gentle way to say " cheaper coders doesn't mean faster work or better product " ... I can too attest the same opinion about Indian developers .. cheap but not easy to work with, simply because their work habits and ethic are not the same as what you expect

[@KristenMcGowan]

Unbelievable! You should be extremely proud!!!👏🏼

Crying... so amazingly happy for you all! The universe provides. I think this is great for people like myself, who live on the water (my family home is minutes from Bonavista Bay Newfoundland), to offer a place on land for a bit of respite or a meal, shower etc. Or services of sharing secrets only locals know about a place you're visiting. So cool. xoxo

As a fellow Lemieux, it’s clear that you have the best karma possible! (I’m certainly Jean-Michel and I are related, but we’ve never met. Two brothers from Burgundy, France got it all started in Quebec City a few hundred years ago.). Congratulations to the entire Sea People team/family!!!

You all have just cause a huge ripple that will be eternally changing the vibration of the earth for the better. The change you guy are making is insurmountable. What an amazing life you have created and now helping the world. Hats off to you guys and I wish you nothing but lots of love and smooth sailing ahead.

[@chris-cole]

This is mind-blowing. My Wife doesn't even get KZbin, doesnt understand it. But i see the impact it has. "Whats meant for you will not pass you by" and this is a true case of success really is no accident. The journey you guys have travelled feels like it has all compelled in this part of your life. To build a big community through a passion for sailing, to make that community thrive through connection on youtube then to address the real communities which you have experienced through the thousands of people you have met and build an app that promotes a lifestyle which says "get off your device and meet people face to face!" strikes such a callback to how life used to be. It's amazing. I'm in awe! I love your journey, maybe followed it loosely for the last 3-4 yrs or so but this is beyond words. Congratulations!!!!

OMG... I just watched this and downloaded the app for Sea People. I am American and I live in Sardegna Italy aboard my 10 meter sail boat (thinking it would be short term because I was renovating a house here but am still aboard due to complications with my reno).... but I have thought for the last year or so - it is hard to connect with other people in the real world who are "sea people" and this is just so amazing. I can hardly wait to check out the app and give it a go. It is right in the "wheelhouse" of what I needed .... a sailor, fearless and renaissance woman at heart.... thank you guys for making this app!

[@Pscribbled]

Coming from Tech, I have a question that I would appreciate having an answer for (even though that I know it’s highly likely that I won’t get an answer for it) Before I get too invested into the app, what’s your plan to actually monetize it? I’m assuming investors actually want a return on their investment. And server costs and developer/maintenance costs aren’t cheap either. Are you guys planning an exit? What I don’t want is to start using this app and then slowly, the app getting shittier with monetization strategies that make the experience terrible.

[@robertchautardjensen6846]

Great question...
