| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 06:06 AM PDT Welcome to this week's Fundraising Thursdays Thread. Ask about anything related to fundraising, investors, accelerators, grants, and other sources of capital. That includes how to find these sources, how to work with them, and how to negotiate with them. Don't be shy. The purpose of this is to learn and share ideas and methodologies with one another. Any question is a good question! If you are answering questions, remember to be kind and supportive. Many are just starting out and have no idea what they are doing. That's okay! We all knew nothing before we knew something.You can also find more support using instant chat on the /r/startups discord. [link] [comments]  |
| How to be a good marketer at an IT startup which sells B2B solutions? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 01:28 PM PDT I have been recently hired at an IT startup. It offers B2B solutions for Cloud. They already have the basics down to pat like email marketing and social media marketing. I don't know what can I do more for them. Please suggest some marketing activities that might be beneficial for the organization. I am asking because this is my first job and I really don't understand what to do other than posting on social media daily and sending emails to prospects. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 07:46 PM PDT So there's 2 co-founders, one of whom is involved in running the company, but also running another company. Then there's a board of advisors. The second co-founder just appears to be an investor, and not involved in operations. Essentially I would be the second person in operations, and the only one on it full-time. My job would be to drive the business side of the company while the founder is handling the product design and approvals, and also running his other company. He wants to give me 1% of the company per year, which will of course get diluted from VCs. I think I should end up with something like 15% of the company if it's diluted 50%. The owner will have 30% and his advisors and first investor will take 5%. Do you think that's fair? I will not be taking a salary, and the project is probably a 3-5 year gig until it is able to be proven out and sold. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 05:24 PM PDT I am going to start at a startup soon and we are planning a vested contract. I am currently 17 and will turn 18 by the end of December. The founder doesn't know my age and I prefer to keep it that way, I will be working remotely. I will be working as a marketing specialist. He says he can't pay me right now as the company isn't generating any revenue currently. If there is no way for me to own private stock, I am planning to ask for some form of compensation for each achievement I achieve based on a handshake agreement (I will be asking for payments once every 2 weeks, and if he doesn't pay then I can quit with little lost). Is there any other downside to this plan? and are there any other forms of compensation? [link] [comments]  |
| Need help validating a product that I'm testing? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 01:54 AM PDT Hi all, In the past week, I've created a validation page which explains what my service is. The product is related to selling products online but with a different business model. I've been advertising the website on Google Adword for a few days and I have got some people registering the "early access product". How many sign-ups are necessary before building the product? Or should I first talk to my early customers and see what features they would like to see? Thank you [link] [comments]  |
