| Is equity from a company that recently got its Series B funding worth asking for? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 05:01 PM PDT I am looking to work as a senior developer for a company that recently got its Series B funding and is expanding. From what I've read about startups at this stage, I imagine that most of the equity has been divvied up already at this point in the company's life. Is equity something worth asking for, just on the off chance that they do that still, or would it come off as naive or greedy? I will likely take the job if they offer it regardless, but I also genuinely think that I'd be more motivated to make sure that the company continues to grow if there was potentially more in it for me.

| Budding SaaS app generating 4x ROAS. How do we evaluate worth? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 06:00 PM PDT Friend made a SaaS mobile app that pulls in 4x return on whatever he spends on ads. Its really picking off. The app just became profitable, but it seems to have a lot of potential. 10-15% of users turn into paying customers. I want to invest in it because i believe in the business model, and honestly i believe in him. He's started and sold a company before. Issue is he's evaluating his app at $1mil, i have no way of knowing if that is accurate or not. Especially since the app JUST started to be profitable last month. There's hardly any historical data to look at, I'm just looking at a months worth of data. How can we guage its worth? I don't want either of us to feel screwed. I also run an app marketing agency and will be willing to market the app free of charge (or at most at cost) if i am an investor. [link] [comments]  |
| I exited a startup and was responsible for a couple of their IP's Posted: 21 Apr 2019 07:42 PM PDT Worked 6 years for a firm where I did multiple IPs for them in AI / IoT. They have a strange way of doing IP- since they want to license and litigate, they are:
What's the feedback on the above - has anyone done AI work in a company that basically has all its prototypes out in the open but the IP is being marked out like above. [link] [comments]  |

| How to approach founders about equity Posted: 21 Apr 2019 04:28 AM PDT I recently joined this startup. Very rapid growth and I'm the first employee (I'm under an independent contractor contract because of tax purposes for the business). Once things start picking up more and more employees get hired. How do I go about asking the founders for equity? I've been working for other startups as well where I worked on a cliff and i don't want to go through that again. The best part is my bosses base their decisions off of logic rather than emotion so if it makes sense then they will go with it. All in all I want as much advice as possible for someone in my situation. Any thoughts would be appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| How to go from employee to the C-Suite Posted: 22 Apr 2019 12:40 AM PDT Hey everyone I've been thinking about this for a while now and ever since I began utilizing Reddit I've realized how underrated/helpful subredditer's advice is. Im the first employee of a startup created by two technical co-founders. I studied business while they studied computer science. As things progress in the company - I want my role to progress as well. I understand within companies comes these 6 things (unless I missed something): 1.Sales 2.Finances 3.Operations/Management 4.Research & Development 5.Marketing 6. Product Building I'm not too passionate about finances (accounting and what not), research and development & product building are being handled by the technical co-founders. My question is for sales, operations/management, and marketing... what do you all recommend in terms of time management, resources (educational videos, chrome extensions - such as hubspot, everliker, and other tools, etc) to learn as best as possible. How do I separate my time between marketing, closing sales, and recruitment of new employees? (By this question I mean: Do I go full force into one sector (Sales, marketing, operations/management)... or do all at the same exact time. If the latter, how would you guys separate your day if you were in my position starting at 7am? My philosophy: My contract requires me to close sales and train/manage the incoming team. However, I want to do as much as possible in order to establish myself forever within the company. [link] [comments]  |
| What does it take to grow sales via affiliate programs as a merchant? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 08:59 AM PDT I am a relatively new e-commerce merchant of a B2C product in the arts and crafts industry. The customer demographics are women between 25-55 y.o. I am planning to explore affiliate programs like Shareasale and CJ Affiliates. I am wondering what is required to have a successful experience. I will appreciate it if you can answer any of these questions:

| How to find companies to advertise on my site? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 04:05 AM PDT Does anyone have any experience in reaching out to potential advertisers? I run an EdTech product that has a small ad on it that I'm trying to sell directly to advertisers, but I'm getting very few responses from companies that I reach out to. It's a reference management web app with 120K users, the few ads that have been placed so far have gotten pretty good CTR (2-6%). Companies can place ads through a self-serve online tool and make the payment right there. Is there a platform or marketplace for this kind of stuff? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

| At which funding round is advised to ask money for rewriting completely the platform? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 04:36 AM PDT Our platform is 10 years old, is on the market since years and we are moderately close to break even, but cannot afford losses anymore as the initial funding was private and from a small investor company. We showed some increase in customers and proved that our solution is working, but scalability on the technical side is still an issue. Our platform it's a SaaS platform, but there is still a lot of manual, human intervention to set it up news accounts. Now we want to ask more (which round will be that?) and we want to say that in order to scale up to thousands of accounts, we need to rewrite the platform from scratch. Is this the right moment? It will be advisable to ask 50% of funding for rewriting from scratch? Or shouldn't even mention that we are rewriting as it's an internal problem? [link] [comments]  |
