| What exactly do "email services" do? Posted: 01 May 2020 10:29 PM PDT My beard isn't as grey as the very first wave of UNIX sysadmins, but I'm familiar enough with the Bat Book to know how to configure a Sendmail server, I hack together Perl and LISP pretty well and on the marketing end I think I have a decent sense of when to send follow-ups and promos and how to target them to specific demographics in our base. All that said, I don't suffer too badly from NIH syndrome and I don't mind paying for worthwhile services, so I would like to ask the very satisfied customers of Mailchimp/Aweber/Convertkit etc what their preferred service does for them and the killer features they receive from their subscriptions that can't be found elsewhere.

| How do companies like YouTube and Vimeo that have instructional videos avoid liability? Posted: 01 May 2020 08:15 AM PDT I'm looking into creating a website / blog that will have instructional videos that have the potential to cause physical harm. Let's say it's a woodworking website / blog where I share my instructional video and other woodworkers can post theirs too. How do we avoid the liability and harm that might happen to viewers as they attempt to follow our instructions? Both YouTube and Vimeo have lots of woodworking videos and other dangerous types of instructional videos but I never hear about them getting sued (edit: not hearing about YouTube being sued by people getting hurt following content on their site).

| Posted: 01 May 2020 03:33 PM PDT Quick context before we begin. Startup is around 8-9 months old, with us soft launching about a month ago. Pre-seed round of £50k is secured and we're currently applying for a 6 figure government grant with the assistance of one of our mentors who helps companies apply for grants for a living. We're in the grocery delivery sector and are trying to modernise the ethnic food market which is generally underserved and underexposed to the British public There's three of us, I'm the technical founder, and we're looking to make our first hire. I'm freshly dropping out of university this year to pursue this full-time and I, ultimately, have no idea what I'm doing. In the immediate I need to start conducting interviews and assessing candidates. I need to help project-manage our commissioning of a native mobile app from an agency we're paying on the back of our pre-seed round. I need to, in the long run, learn the skills needed to manage people. The problem is that I tend to be the "silently plink away in my office" type of developer and am really not great with people at all. Humans are fleshy and enigmatic while code is consistent and documented. What steps should I be taking to learn management skills to complement my existing development skills? I'm buried under about 1000 responsibilities that someone with my dire lack of inexperience is in no position to make a credible attempt at and need advice. Everything is carnage. Send help.

| Thoughts and opinions on forcing co-founders to have a prenuptial agreement and COLI? Posted: 01 May 2020 10:46 AM PDT Cofounders (none of us are married) and I recently added (via our lawyer) resolutions to our bylaws that mandate that all co-founders have a valid and binding prenuptial agreement. We also mandated that all co-founders be covered under a company-funded but company-beneficiary life insurance policy. We were all in agreement and it went smoothly, but interested to hear your opinions on the matter. COLI is pretty standard, but we didn't get a clear idea of whether a prenup was standard for co-founders. Edit : I should clarify that this is already complete. I may have done a poor job conveying that. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 May 2020 04:27 PM PDT I am working on a web app that accepts crowdsourced content. Among other things that will be posted to the site by its users will be images of objects that likely have copyright claims. I have seen websites post this kind of content and affix a "fair use" logo/message next to the image. Do you think this is fine? I have looked into "fair use" stipulations and they seem to apply to this kind of content (given that the web platform can argue that the image has been posted for educational purposes). I have noticed that legal terms and disclaimers of all sorts are written in a way that invites argument, ie. "having copyright claims protection X but fair use policy works around it because of reason Y." Are the companies that claim fair use just hoping that nobody will sue them? Or do you think they have a good copyright lawyer who told them what they could and could not get away with? Also, any discussion/advice about reacting to claims of copyright violations are welcome and appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| How Long Did It Take You To Reach Certain User Milestones? Posted: 01 May 2020 10:12 AM PDT Hi All Hope you are well. I thought it'd be cool to hear from people who are currently running their startups or have done so previously in regards to what and how long it took to reach certain user milestones i.e. 10k users, 100k users and so on. If you don't mind sharing it would be cool to hear Company name Sentence on what company does How long it took to reach a particular milestone Any tips you can share for reaching stated milestone (Please feel free to omit name and details of what you do, if you don't wish to share) Look forward to hearing from you! :) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 May 2020 04:21 PM PDT Hi, if there is a better thread for my question please lmk! I have a few questions for a startup? Could you authorize 10 billion shares with no par value only intending to ever release a portion of them? Does this protect you from hostile takeover? Why wouldnt you do that? Do you have to pay tax on the lot once a par value is ascribed? In short i want to authorize many more shares than the company would ever sell to maintain outright ownership but dont fully understand the ramifications. I did not study business Or finance in school so if you might keep your answers somewhat pedestrian Id be grateful. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 May 2020 01:30 PM PDT I developed this app that can source an essential good at a fraction of the cost through some linear algebra razmataz. I am then bundling it with a delivery system. There is a small city of 60,000 a 10 hours drive away. My partner has a large house, and is willing to let me live there to try it out. I've been living with my parents while I develop this; my father got rich through software, and as of such he has a lot of advice. He doesn't want me to move 10 hours away to trial this, he says there are better places to try it, and i'll need to go back and forth pretty often - which would make it ridiculous. And my goal of setting up a self-sustaining system is apparently ridiculous - things fall apart without me. Thing is, I've been working on getting permission to go (my country has pretty strict lockdown) for two weeks now, and I just got it for two days from now. I was expecting at least a week's notice, so I'd have time to go over it with him - but now it is a rush journey. Thing is, everythings pretty much set to go. My partner talked to the local partners we'd need, they are all down. He talked to the local state legislator, he's on board and willing to help partner government in the area with us. My partner is a professor at the major university in the town. I've got a few reasons to go: The point of the pilot is to prove there is demand, and that we can fulfill it. This is just to acquire a story good enough to get seed money without giving up too much equity. Going to a larger town would be useless because I don't have the funds/capacity to deal with a very large load of orders. I don't have the money to scale - this is just to prove a point. I don't want to wait till god knows when for this lockdown to end, I don't want to lose all the work I've already put in, with that location. Am I thinking about this wrong? [link] [comments]  |
| How do I find out if my product/service is wanted within a market? Posted: 01 May 2020 04:39 AM PDT I am having a little difficulty finding out whether or not people would actually use my product/service. The idea I had was to make a mobile app that contains study material for secondary school students to assist them with their exams. This app would be a more cost effective way than buying books as the app would contain content for multiple subjects and would come at the cost of a small monthly price. I have tried to capture the thoughts of others by posting on social media pages (Reddit/Facebook), however have gained little response. The main people I am trying to target is students/teachers. I had thought of adding an incentive for filling out a survey (£25 amazon gift card etc.) but thought that people might not fill out the survey accurately. What do you guys think?

| Can you recommend me a good email signature generator/creator ? Posted: 01 May 2020 07:09 AM PDT Can you recommend me a good email signature generator/creator ? Let me know what you use as well if possible. Looking for both paid and free options. Have you tried different options ? Why did you pick the one you are currently using ? Thank you in advance :) [link] [comments]  |
| Trusted Domain and Hosting provider. Posted: 01 May 2020 04:31 AM PDT Hello all, This is my first ever post in Reddit, I am sorry if this has been asked before but I would like to ask your trusted provider for your Domain and Hosting. Our Domain will expire in 2 months time, so I am thinking if I need to migrate my domain to a different provider or keep using the current one. Many thanks! [link] [comments]  |
