This morning I applied to Y Combinator's program which helps get early stage startups from the idea stage to a working system. (This month is the application deadline so I thought I'd get my application in while I could).

The program is located in California and runs over the summer, so if I'm accepted I'll be moving to California to work on the Guide system.

Getting into the program is probably a long shot since they prefer applicants with multiple founders, and Y Combinator is the top seed startup program in the world and so they have a lot of applicants.

If I'm not accepted I'll be doing the Guide anyway; getting into the program would simply be another resource for getting the Guide launched sooner.
