i'm surprised that you've built an app yet you aren't aware of the industry... makes me think you are a wantapreneur than an entrepreneur. you should be sleeping eating breathing tech!
also it'll be hard to get say ryan holmes to give you 1-2hrs per month pro bono... if you've seen Silicon Valley the show, you need an Erlich not a Peter Gregory at this point.

The thing is that I come from an investment/consulting background while my partner is IT/CS. I could go on and on with VC and technical perspective, but the reality is that for physical retail, I can only rely on a few friends/acquaintances who operates their own retail in various level.
As of right now I need someone very specific... someone who has a deep understanding on how to market to physical retails. And I have tried to reach out with my own connections, but I couldn't quite find this person (mainly because they were Toronto based and the industry they were in differs to what I'm doing. Most importantly, I need someone local or at least accessible)
Thanks for all the comments, keep them coming!
I will start heading to few events on meetup.
