I don't have a web app yet. the video is just a mockup I did on keynote to show what things could look like :-) so that, the potential tech co-founder would understand what I think the solution would look like.

That makes sense. Could you share with how exactly did you make the money - what were you offering before?

I just approached a few brick and mortar stores and offered to open up a new sales channel (their existing customer acquisition channel was basically having a store front and then staring into space, so was not hard to beat)

I offered a "I make money only if you make money" pitch. Sold their wares via Facebook and WhatsApp and then took a huge markup from those sales.

Nicely done. I'd suggest not taking an investor though unless you are really having trouble with scaling.
