| Have any of you taken a job at a startup while building your own Posted: 28 Mar 2020 06:08 PM PDT How did it go? My good friend is starting a b2b startup and has given me a job offer. He's funded and I'm his first hire. It's an amazing software and the role fits my strengths perfectly But, I just started working on my own startup and am wondering if it is possible to focus on building his and then working on mine at the same time? Has anyone done something similar? I'm not funded and am not exactly financially secure. I'm in love with my startup idea but don't have anywhere close to the finances to actually build it. His model/software will generate cash fairly quickly but mine is B2C and would take hundreds of thousands of users to make any kind of money I know it seems like it would be an easy decision but it's not [link] [comments]  |
| Google Ads Offering $340 Million in Ad Credit to Startups! (Coronavirus Help Package) Posted: 28 Mar 2020 10:15 AM PDT Your business or startup will be eligible if you have had your google ads account open since January 2019. Details show you will receive an email from Google if you meet this requirement. There is a ton of ad real estate available on YouTube right now and I highly encourage Startups to explore the platform if they haven't. YouTube is now what Facebook was a couple years ago. Much less competitive as well as most don't have videos to advertise with...particularly local brands. I've been in digital marketing and advertising for the last 5 years so if you have credit and don't know what to do with it I can help. Good luck out there [link] [comments]  |
| Need help thinking of agreement for developer Posted: 28 Mar 2020 11:07 PM PDT I have a developer on my team, and we had negotiated a 25% profit share, 15% equity stake in the company for work. He took over the project from an existing (offshore) team. The web app is deemed to be shit, so it needs completely redone. For this, and because we have a tight deadline, I am adding cash to the agreement, for the complete rebuild of the web app. The developer will likely quote between $10-15k for the new web app. Given that, I can not afford that currently, but can over about 6 months. I want to propose to him the quote he quotes, and then after the $10-15k is paid, he gets 15% profit share and equity in the company for any remaining development works. Because I can not afford the $10-15k right now, I want to have him act as the "bank" and lend his time until the "loan" can be repaid. So for any outstanding balance for his invoices, it will be a 9% APR interest rate. I can pay about $4k up front. What do you all think of this? Getting creative here, but I think it is a pretty good deal, might be too good for him. Thoughts please and thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| About to graduate-- what skills are most appealing in applicants? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 10:17 PM PDT Hi all! I'm about to graduate (with my B.S. in Molecular Biology) and am super interested in getting my foot in the door at a startup. I primarily have a customer service/administrative background and have worked full-time while in college, most recently as a customer service manager. I have fundamental skills (self taught) in ZenDesk, Salesforce, SQL, and Python-- enough that if I would need to do something with them I could pretty easily find a way to teach myself how to do it quickly, but no projects or real work experience with them. I feel like I don't have the required skills/experience for startup roles in my area, especially since so many of them require lots of cold-calling experience for sales positions, which I'm not particularly interested in. I would love to get involved in the operations and administrative side of things. How can I make myself stand out as a candidate? What positions should I be honing in on? I'm especially interested in telehealth and femtech! I'd appreciate any advice! :-) [link] [comments]  |
| Relief for startups with no payroll? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 02:53 PM PDT My startup is in dine-in restaurant tech. We lost a large investment (Investors walked after delivering us a term sheet) and all of our revenue due to the crisis. My cofounders and I have been working for free for about a year. Is there any way that payroll-less companies can benefit from this bill? We can't prove payroll, is the main point, because we've been living off of savings. [link] [comments]  |
| Should we try to get new users in the coronavirus era? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 02:28 PM PDT Hi Everyone, TL;DR: If users wont be able to use the app's core feature in the coronavirus era. Should we try to get new users? Intro:We are a consumer focused mobile app startup. We launched our app into the market on 20th March 2020 and currently have around 40 users. We are using the following avenues to get more users:
Problem:We are getting some new users through options 1 & 2, but the engagement is negligible as the app needs users to eat restaurant food. In the age of coronavirus, consumers are wary of ordering pickup/delivery or eating at a restaurant (and rightfully so). The question I want to ask is should we try strategy like option 3, which might get us new users but at a risk of them uninstalling the app, as they wont be able to use the app's core feature. Pros:
Cons:
