Also, all posts are sorted randomly, so the sort function doesn't seem to work.

| Are small businesses who pay for PR distribution on news wires fools or am I missing something? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:33 AM PST What value does "Jane's podcast" get from releasing a PR about receiving an award when nobody is going to write an editorial article about it? I see thousands of one-man businesses paying for these distribution services. But what value do they get in return? If they keep doing it, it must be helping them in some way right? You have to assume atleast some of them are shrewd enough to ask, how does this help me? What's the realistic answer to this? [link] [comments]  |
| Washington, D.C. startup scene vs Northern VA startup Scene? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:23 PM PST I'm looking to move closer to the startup scene in the DMV. I am curious as to which of these sub-regions of the DMV is considered better (if albeit marginally) if you're an Entrepreneur looking for accelerators, incubators, funding, and (eventually) talent. NW D.C. seems great with accelerators like 1776 and Dcode. Northern VA also seems to have a good number of incubators/accelerators, and early stage funding orgs. If you're looking to optimize your resources as a startup in the DMV, which would be the best? D.C or Northern VA? [link] [comments]  |
| Is <10% equity as a paid co-founder reasonable? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:46 AM PST Been asked to join a startup as a co-founder and was offered <10% equity + salary (~2/3 of what I make today...obviously no benefits). The equity is vested over 5 years and not taking a salary is not an option because I have to support my family. I am bringing a fairly niche skill set to the team and would basically be a big chunk of the technical labor for the next 2-3 years. I have worked with the other co-founders at a previous startup, and they know my work style and ethic and know first hand what I bring to the table (if this matters at all). [link] [comments]  |
| How to get AWS/GCP/Azure credits as a bootstrapped company? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:48 AM PST I found this list of resources which basically gives startups free credits that lets them build out their product: https://github.com/dakshshah96/awesome-startup-credits#cloud-computing However, self-funded businesses seem to be left in the cold:
Currently I'm paying around $250/mo on GCP bills, and I don't understand why we can't have similar deals. Any ideas? [link] [comments]  |
| How much equity am I supposed to give away to non salaried developers? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 01:48 PM PST I am in high school and I have a startup that i'm going to start in the next few months to a year and i'm taking on 2 of my friends who are really good programmers to create my app and do upkeep and all that stuff and I don't have to pay them. They just want equity. How much equity should I give them? I don't want to give them too much because I would like to also have enough equity to raise capital in the future and keep as much control as possible in the company. [link] [comments]  |
| Question about my geosocial networking app idea Posted: 01 Mar 2020 01:10 PM PST hello guys this my first time posting here and im really happy to find this amazing subreddit , so have this idea about making a meeting app in college campuses and high schools , yes it's old fashion one but i think it might work , the app helps you find other students with common interests and hobbies to discuss with ( books/movies/programming...) but accurate as much as possible with the exact subject ( books: #philosophy,#descartes,#frensh). this can help students exchange skills and and grow their desired knowledge. do i have a chance to make this possible with almost 0% development skills ? it's my last year in high school ( studying just simple programming languages (pascal / java script/ php ) and i'm excited to enter the world of startups in college.

| Is it getting harder to found successful startups? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:13 PM PST Whenever there is some new or developing "playground" in the world, it creates an opportunity for new lucrative businesses to emerge. As the field matures, it's increasingly hard to achieve success. In the 80s or 90s, it was personal computers, which produced Microsoft and Apple. Since about 1995, it's the availability of internet and then internet connected smartphones, which produced Google, Amazon and Facebook. It's very rare to see a new successful company appear in a mature industry, i.e. new Exxon, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson or Intel. This leads me to the somewhat unsettling belief that it's increasingly hard to succeed with new startups because the very fertile land of the last few decades - computing / internet - is maturing and getting filled with moated companies like Booking.com, Twitter, AirBnB. In addition, startups is a popular "thing" now, I think the number of people trying to come up with startup ideas is near an all time high. On the other hand, the counterpoint is that the field is still changing (although the changes are not as fundamental as before) and the market is still getting bigger as the number of people connected to the internet is growing, which is good for startups. What are your thoughts on this hypothesis, do you think it's correct? [link] [comments]  |
| Recommended number of co-founders? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:28 AM PST Assuming a start-up already has a seed investment taking up 20%, what would be the optimal number of co-founders? I'm leaning towards 2-3 atm because I don't see any more advantages in having 3+ co-founders. Particularly worried about equity share which obv decreases as co-founders increase. As they might say, too many chefs spoil the broth. What do you guys think? I'd love to hear everyone's opinion. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:54 AM PST To start thanks for reading this. Means a lot. We're a fashion companies building quality designs so that means we'll be creating a lot of unique ideas. We were wondering how much trademarking is nessecary for the brand? Especially when starting up? At what time should it be done? Should it be done through the Madrid protocol or other means? Is a logo considered copyright covered or trademark material? We're based in the UK. Thanks for reading. [link] [comments]  |
