Hi, haven't been online for a few months so sorry if this has been discussed somewhere.
Just to give context: I live in a third-world country and often have ideas (a lot of times borrowed from first-world solutions) to improve things. For example, we have a ton of concerts/events over here but there is no easy digital ticketing system to just fix the mess of manual stamps and having to get your tickets physically beforehand. Since I've worked at both event management and ecommerce software, I kinda know how to build this.
But the problem with this and any idea I ever get always comes down to -> I don't want to charge for it. It just ruins all motivation for me, since I'm not actually creating anything, I'm just making things smoother in the middle. Why can't it just exist as a thing? I know I can't run it without money, I know I can't convince anyone to help me with the project without money. Especially in a country like mine where people just can't afford to work on things for free.
So, I wanted to ask if there are any resources or books I could study on financing a product in a sort of non-capitalist way? I'm sorry if I sound dumb I don't have much idea about this.
TL;DR: how to run a service/business without going broke and without feeling shit
I've been exploring this. But none of these services are available in my local currency, which is a big factor for adoption.
