| How to keep a sense of urgency when the product is 'finished'? Posted: 10 Nov 2018 07:01 PM PST Let's say you are building a web/mobile app. During the initial development phase, or there's a critical feature to be built, you know exactly what you need to do, and you manage to pump out 12 hour work days no problem. Then you release the app/feature... suddenly there isn't much to do, and you lose focus. Obviously an app is never finished; there are always improvements and new features to build. But I feel no urgency to do work that feels like it doesn't have too much impact. My day when there is an urgent work to be done:
My day when there is no urgency:
How does one maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to work, after things feel 'finished'? I happen to derive my happiness from working hard (a fully productive work day makes me happy), and I get unhappy when I barely get a few hours of work. [link] [comments]  |
| Safe to use someone else's long-dead brand? Posted: 10 Nov 2018 07:12 AM PST I'm considering starting a business called Learnival. I've got the .com, but I can see some people were using it for a different business around 2013, which seems dead now, and it's apparently a windsurfing term in Germany, too..? If there's no trademark, and I get it, it's my term to use without risk, right? Or is my understanding off? I'm not trying to be an asshole -- it seems like no one is using it currently, and I think it's a pretty good brand. Would you go for it, or do I risk getting in trouble? [link] [comments]  |
| operating financially sparately from partner? Posted: 10 Nov 2018 06:01 PM PST Hello r/startups, I'm trying to finally file my business. It's a concert booking agency, where I am making majority profit and I have a partner who started it with me, but is less involved now (still wants to stay part of the company, though) How would one setup a business structure (LLC?) where two partners are operating financially separate (using same business name to sell, each partner earning 100% of profit per sale?)

| Establishing a front end for my startup Posted: 10 Nov 2018 10:27 PM PST So for my business I want to do AI consulting, however I am wondering what is the best way this is generally done for a startup. There seem to be so many options for the front end/ client interface side. I could begin with a simple website, or go more complex and make one myself, or only do social media sites to begin with. I can give further information if required, but I'm wondering what is generally the best thing to point people at when I say "Hello client, go to my site/page/account and buy my services."

| Inclusive innovation: is the startup culture prevalently male? Posted: 10 Nov 2018 02:40 AM PST I know this is a touchy topic, but hear me out. The start-up culture has traditionally been prevalently male — women are less represented, less funded and more often judged by their performance rather than their potential in comparison to men. While efforts are being made to equalise the playing field, the gender gap persists. According to data from PitchBook, a venture capitalist database, female founders only obtained 2% of venture capital dollars in 2018. In addition, I think our traditional view of a woman's role at home can often be one of the biggest stumbling blocks to enabling greater inclusion in the business community.This perpetual burden of establishing a work-life balance, along with a traditional start-up culture that is less diverse and inclusive can be two barriers to encouraging women entrepreneurship. Are we doing enough to encourage inclusive innovation? [link] [comments]  |
| CEO - co founder fires me but says that I quit. Golden parachute was in the terms. What to do? Posted: 09 Nov 2018 10:47 AM PST As the title says this is my situation: After some internal discussions on who should lead engineering, me (CTO) & my co-founder (CEO) said that I don't need to come to work anymore and that my last day will be (last) friday. He then removed me from slack, email, and github. He claims to the board that I quit. The company is potentially about to be acquired for some considerable amount of $. Delaware corporation, California based company. I have a Golden Parachute agreement in the terms. All the discussion happened verbally between the two of us. What to do? Here is the Vesting Paragraph:
