What would you do to utilize the infrastructure, trademark, and branding you have if your startup did not make it and is stuck at MVP testing stage? Posted: 04 Dec 2018 06:46 PM PST I've been thinking about what founders would normally do if their startups don't make it. How do people utilize (or recycle) what was built and not let it goes to waste 100%? Is there a secondary market for selling the infrastructure, trademark, branding, whatever you created so other companies can make use of it, build upon it and create something better? I've seen some companies who would purchase apps and a lot of them are looking for traction. But what if the app is still in testing phase and has not started gaining traction and/or income yet? ​ It would be great if you could share your thoughts or experiences. submitted by /u/RE-gal [link] [comments]

Does anyone here advocate "throwaway MVPs" ? Posted: 04 Dec 2018 07:50 AM PST Something that I have heard a lot is the advice to make your MVP in the quickest dirtiest way possible to see if it gains any traction. If it does then throwaway that MVP and re-build it from scratch properly. I liked the idea when I first heard it, it made sense. Just get something up there and don't waste any time. For the past year or so I have been looking at successful SaaS products on Product hunt and then hitting up their developers on linkedin for a chat. The main thing I ask them is "if you knew then, what you know now, what would you do different?". The most common answer I get is they wished they had took a better approach to the code-base early on. They wish they had a greater emphasis on testing and code quality. The point of taking a shaky MVP into a well running software business with an active user-base seems to be a very stressful and difficult process for many and in some cases has led to the developers abandoning the project entirely. What are your thoughts on this process? Setting up testing and good code structure adds additional time and cost onto the start of a project. If you keep piling feature on-top of feature as you go without allowing time for updating tests and refactoring code you will have outward signs of progress but there is an inevitable point where you are stuck with a fragile codebase that is prone to bugs. What approach have you tried and how did it go after you gained traction? submitted by /u/Mr_Nice_ [link] [comments]

How much should i pay for a development team based in India for 4 months work? Posted: 04 Dec 2018 02:17 PM PST They will be building an IOS app, android app, and a website for my business. I have checked on glassdoor that a senior IOS developer cost ~$8000/year (which is around 700/month). They quoted at least $20/hour. Not sure if this is a knock-off rate but, any advice would definitely be helpful. It seems that it would be cheaper to get full-time staff instead of a team to work. What do you think about this? ​ How should i gauge and if anyone had any experience with bargaining the price? If you have any introductions would be great too! Looking forward to experienced startup founders replies! submitted by /u/justasmallkid [link] [comments]

Anybody work/own a fintech company? Posted: 04 Dec 2018 08:37 AM PST have an interview for a fintech startup coming up (a marketing position), just want to get some real world insight from people who are in that space. I've been in marketing for a long time but I've never worked for a fintech and insight from people on the inside would be very helpful as I do my due diligence before the interview. Even insight into what the general culture is like or industry insights would be very helpful, even if I'm looking at a marketing position. But marketing insights would be very helpful, as in what tactics do most in the industry find most effective, is there a shift in tactics or its pretty much similar to other new tech ventures? Sorry for rambling on, but auto mod wanted 500 characters so here they are. But seriously thanks in advance. submitted by /u/sponkel [link] [comments]
