| Posted: 28 Aug 2019 08:29 PM PDT I am in the process of writing a spec document - literally how I see this entire software working. I wanted to know of anyone has any good examples of easy to read spec docs. I figure I'll be going back and forth editing however I want to make sure before I hand it over to engineers its pretty straight forward. Also would you all recommend to designing the spec before wrap up. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2019 05:44 AM PDT I just came across a product hunt launch for a product and I have been working on something very similar for a while now myself. And truth be told I am having a hard time dealing with this. I always knew that my idea had potential but I never fully appreciated it until I saw someone else investing time and effort into making it. I am sure I am not the first person ever dealing with this and probably won't be the last. So people of r/startups, any advice to deal with this sucky feeling and the next steps for my product is greatly appreciated and direly needed. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments]  |
| How do I find my tech co-founder? Posted: 28 Aug 2019 07:13 PM PDT New to this subreddit so apologies if it's been mentioned a lot in the past; my phone isn't loading previous Qs. I'm looking for a tech partner to create an app (ideally for IOS and android, though IOS is prioritised) in exchange for equity. Since this is pre-revenue and in the idea stage, the business is valued at 0 (which I know makes things tough). I have a marketing strategy and access to the target market across England, where I'm based, due to my position in one of the most popular tabloids. I also have a finance team member. Despite market research showing demand, similar business models achieving success, and plans for scalability, bottom line is it's a tall order asking someone to create an app for nothing in hope of a < 100% guaranteed something will come of it. If I'm being unrealistic then feel free to tell me to cut the bull, but alternative advice would be greatly appreciated. Anyone got any tips / advice on finding a techie? Sites I checked out from reading up online had a bad rep and it's hard to know who's legit. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2019 07:03 PM PDT First off, I haven't started my business yet, I am still working out all the technical issues. It is a business that would force me to drive to different locations around NYC for each customer. One thing slowing me down is that I'm unsure how I would expand - If I got 20 customers In 1 day I would be overwhelmed and I would need to hire and buy a van. How could I possibly do that IF that situation arises? I am based around NYC. [link] [comments]  |
| How do I calculated a percentage of shares for someone in terms of fully diluted basis? Posted: 28 Aug 2019 06:35 PM PDT Hypothetical example: Lets say I have 10M authorizes common shares, I am issuing myself 5M common, have pending issuance of 500K + 50K + 100K of common shares in the future to employees. As well, we have a 3% post-money SAFE, which converts to 3% preferred shares. How would I calculated the percentage of 100k shares on a fully diluted basis? Will fully diluted basis include SAFE preferred? [link] [comments]  |
| How to reach startup companies that have recruiting needs? Posted: 28 Aug 2019 04:36 PM PDT We're doing a tech assessment platform for practical skills. We attended YC Statup School, we adapted Mom's Test philosophy to talk to ~30 business customers. We tapped into our 1st and 2nd-degree network and also our investor's network. But seems we've used up all our connections. One thing we found is that usually, timing is not right for our customers (mostly not hiring). We want to reach out to customers that are actively doing the hiring and can use our product. I'm thinking to use LinkedIn for cold reach. Is it effective or is there any suggestion that you may have to reach more potential customers? [link] [comments]  |
| Not launched startup: I would like to have some feedbacks from you on our execution Posted: 28 Aug 2019 08:53 AM PDT Hi, I would like to share with you the story of a startup (not) funded from me and my partner. Problem: I work in a Italian company and the only way to eat some healthy food is to go out in a restaurant/bar wasting a lot of time. So I had an idea for a startup: building a smart fridge refilled with health food (salad, juice, ecc) that user can open by mobile app. We build a prototype (smart fridge + mobile app) in 6 month and we founded a company willing to use our fridge for it's employee and a restaurant for the refilling of food. But we are sure that we were wrong because we didn't use a lean approach (six month for the mvp and no real feedbacks from CUSTOMERS). Moreover, we founded a lot of regulation issues that cost a lot of money and time that we discovered only after 6 months of hard development. • For a product like this you have to found a company and do a contract with the company that wanna try our service (food sector is dangerous and companies wanna feel safe) • Our company need an insurance for damage to third parties (the urser using our service) • The restaurant need an additional insurance to sell us the food (because they just have the insurance to sell food inside the restaurant and not to third parties) • We need to keep in touch with an expert to produce Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) specific for our kind of service After 6 months, we were with a complete prototype and a lot of expensive legal stuffs that we hadn't calculated months earlier: this only to do a test that we didn't know how it would have ended and which feedbacks customer would have given us. For these reasons we stopped the project (Hight cost and too complex for an MVP) I would be grateful to hear some suggestions on how we could have made a more lean prototype taking in mind this regulatory constraints. Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| HSN considering my food product Posted: 28 Aug 2019 04:54 AM PDT Anyone have experience with this? I've only just received an email from their food purchasing department.. They are interested in talking. I'd love to know about their buying system (consignment?) How they handle returns. How I do buy backs of over stock. Shipping my palleted stock to them.. Etc.. My margins are pretty low as is. I don't know where I could actually make any money in a deal with these guys. Being on TV would be great though.. right? Anyone with experience or any comments or advice would be great! Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Struggling to carry out research Posted: 28 Aug 2019 04:51 AM PDT I've been keen to get some research on the experiences of people who may be our future users. I created a short unbranded survey, but I don't know how to get it to the target market. I am specifically targeting people in UK that have lived in house shares. I know the websites they use, but there would be no way to approach through that. I've joined Facebook groups, but understandably some mods don't want surveys posted. I've tried city subreddits which one was really successful, but others get downvoted or deleted. Since there isn't a physical location I can go, it must be online, but I'm a little stuck for ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Building a library of information and resources for a niche hobby (ppg/powered paragliding) Posted: 28 Aug 2019 07:39 AM PDT Hello all, I need your help on a project I am building. I am getting ready to launch a website to help people that fly powered paragliders. It's a fast growing industry and also something I am interested in personally. My current focus is building two parts of the website, one part blog/news related to the industry and one part would be a library of articles, things like how to guides, resources for training, and links to gear being sold. The reason I am building this site is because
I am currently stuck trying to figure out how I want to handle the website. Am I better off trying to use and modify a wordpress theme? Or would I be better off using a website builder or building the website from scratch myself? From the research that I have done, it seems like wordpress overwhelmingly rules the blog industry, which makes sense, but this is more than a blog. I don't have much experience with wordpress so I am a bit confused of its capabilities. I haven't been super impressed with how most wordpress sites look visually but that can be changed easily, or so I would imagine. Does anyone have experience in launching something similar? If so, I would definitely be interested in hearing how you did it. [link] [comments]  |
| How do you deal with an idea that's a little bit ambitious? Posted: 28 Aug 2019 02:28 AM PDT Strange question, but I've written a business plan for something I'm really excited about but I'm a little worried about it now I've read it back. So this business plan I've drafted started off super simplistic and I was excited as hell about the whole thing. However, the more detail I went into, the more I got kind of scared of my own business idea. It all seemed a bit daunting and I think I've spooked myself. I've lost confidence in the business idea and it's stopping me from starting at all. Part of me is telling me to just get started and keep it simple, the other part is telling me to just shelf it until I have more time and/or capital What tips would you give to somebody in my situation and have you had any similar experiences you've overcome?
