| List of places to promote your product! Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:20 AM PDT When we launched our startup a few months ago I looked for lists of places where I can put our project to get our first users and first links for SEO. I found a few of them and started to sort the links by popularity and free/non-free. I also added a list of Reddit subs or Slack communities! I put everything together in a Notion board, clean it up and make it public → link Hope that will help you grow! [link] [comments]  |
| Is 5% too much for a startup lawyer? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:56 PM PDT Basically title. My product has the potential to be a multimillion dollar company. I on-boarded the lawyer because I found myself stumbling going through the legal world. His roles are basically being the company lawyer. Setting up hiring contracts. Reviewing investor paperwork. Writing up contracts for me and agreements. Basically, the full 9 yards as the companies legal counsel. I still did not sign, but I feel comfortable with him as a lawyer. He is very decorated legally. Thoughts on this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 06:41 AM PDT So our extension, Sook, was just approved by Google and is in the Chrome store. We need to have users create an account so they can save the products they like and return to them at any time. To make it easy to create an account, we set up FB as a login option along with Gmail. A couple of days ago I received an email from FB saying they need to access to our app to check it out. Assuming they just wanted access to the stuff relating to logging in, I wrote back and said they should already have everything the need. This morning, they sent a followup saying they wanted access to our dev platform and sent a screen of where I login to do all our work uploading stores, products, etc. This is crazy, right? They should not be able to request that. Has anyone had a similar experience when using FB as a login option? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 12:45 PM PDT I say this because I did NOT do this and now I need to shell out over $7k that I didn't really plan on spending. Even if you stay for a while and you're at a company when they have a successful exit, in order to take advantage of long-term capital gains tax, you NEED to exercise (ie purchase) them at least one year ahead of time. If you don't, you'll likely end up exercising and selling in one transaction which gets taxed at the higher short-term capital gains rate. If your stock has real value, this will make a significant difference in how much money you take home when all is said and done. And if you don't end up exercising at all then you have a nice surprise savings account :) [link] [comments]  |
| Meeting cofounder through online networking events? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 03:39 PM PDT Hey all- I'm a software engineer who's recently left his job and decided to pursue my dream of starting a company. I'm trying to find a cofounder to work with, and I've been trying to meet them through online Zoom networking events. Have any of you tried these events? And what has your experience been with them?

| What is a good E-business (e-commerce) platform to use Posted: 28 Aug 2020 08:48 PM PDT My product is near finish and I want to have my product up before my promo video so when people see it they go to my site and decide to purchase. I read up on shopify and I believe it is good but I also thought about facebook and numerous other platforms but shopify sounded very good, can anyone attest that this is true? Also if you are using a platform I didnt mention let me know what you think of it [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 08:21 PM PDT What are the best tools to source great companies? I generally use LinkedIn, crunchbase, pitchbook and capitalIQ. What are some other, both free and paid, services to use? I'm a fan of networking and warm intros, but want to increase the yield. Thanks everybody! And if it matters. Generally looking for series A,B and C. [link] [comments]  |
| How do I make my customers my brand ambassadors? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:55 PM PDT How can you build in little delight moments into your product that goes above and beyond their expectation, and let the light bulbs go off in their brain? Then they say, wow, I found something interesting here. I think it's in human nature to see, like pleasure in telling other people about something exciting you noticed, right? [link] [comments]  |
| Set up a proper Marketing automation Posted: 28 Aug 2020 06:52 AM PDT I have looked online a lot for resources but it seems like most resources are only for big companies with a higher budget - a lot of time and general resources. How is your approach to setting up a CRM system or an e-mail Automation. Do you feel like being a start up benefits you in doing so or hinders? Thanks for the Input in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Should I be specialized or have a broader service? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:16 PM PDT Hi, I'm not sure how to exactly word my title correctly but anyways. I have started my business in doing CAD drafting and design. While taking anything I can do I've started to realize I really enjoy prototyping and doing reverse engineering a lot. My question is, should I offer prototyping, reverse engineering, and general CAD drafting all as services I provide? Or should I focus on one? I understand when starting a business you shouldn't always take absolutely anything you can get and that it's better to specialize in one field or whatnot. BUT if any of you are familiar with CAD drafting then you know that the work itself isn't really any difference and that really the only thing that changes is the process, even that sort of change is only slight. Thoughts? Opinions? Questions I should ask myself? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| When to follow up after first investor meeting? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 10:34 AM PDT I have had a few first meetings with investors and they have said they want to set up a second meeting or express interest in talking more. After a week I still haven't heard from them. Is this typical? Should I reach out myself or keep waiting? Just curious to hear other people's experiences and best practices. [link] [comments]  |

| Startup running out of cash, may miss payroll Posted: 28 Aug 2020 11:33 AM PDT I've been working as a developer for a small startup (7 or 8 employees) up in Ontario, Canada for the last 8 months or so. At our weekly round table meeting this week, our CEO out of the blue warned us that there was a possibility of "hitting the wall" when it came to our cash. I'm not the most savvy when it comes to investing, business management etc. and this is also my first startup environment. But they way I understood it was that our next funding round that was supposed to be coming shortly may be put off due to some agreement we've entered into elsewhere. Ultimately, what that means is that after my paycheque three weeks from now I may not be getting paid until more cash comes in. Obviously my CEO was trying to assuage any panic about the chances of this happening, but if they decided they had to tell us this, I'm treating that as a non-trivial chance of it happening. They also were quick to point out all the obvious things like we'd have back pay and whatnot once money did come in. I guess I'm just looking for some advice on where to go from here. I've got some safety net, so I've got a few months of leeway if it comes to that. But I've never been in this position before, so it's all new to me. My first instinct is to polish up the resume just in case, but see how this plays out over the next few weeks before doing anything further. If it comes to the point of having to figure out whether I want to stick around without pay in the hopes that things get better or jump ship, I'm not really sure how to approach that though. A job search in this economy isn't too attractive, but I might not have a choice. Any advice would be super appreciated. Thanks :) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 08:08 AM PDT Greetings reddit! I have a great start up idea with potential seed money coming in. I'm lacking a front-end developer who can achieve building a mobile interface. I've been thinking of hiring a 3rd party team to take care of that for me. The downside obviously is paying a large cost, however if the team is good and exceptional at what they do, then I'm all for it. However, I don't want to rule out finding a stellar individual who has the skills to deliver quality interfaces. Where can I find mobile app developers who are master of their crafts, eager to work, and want to be compensated by equity share? Due to the nature of working online, it would be personally hard to vet these individuals myself. Not going to lie I feel like everyone is a developer these days with online certificates. I've also worked in a start up that burned seed money due to inexperienced developers, it wasn't pretty. So basically, where can I comfortably find experienced mobile developers online that are looking for work? Honestly a junior developer is fine as long as they believe in the startup, put their heart into it, and are willing to take charge of tasks. I wish I could offer compensation other than equity share but I do not have money to give. I do plan on giving a double digit equity share if I like the profile of the developer. [link] [comments]  |
| What strategies a startup should use for "User Acquisition" for Hyper Casual Mobile Games? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 03:01 AM PDT Hello Everyone, We all know that Hyper casual mobile games are really doing well in terms of market share and business. But it's also visible that this market is highly competitive and dominated by big publishers like Voodoo, Ketchapp, SayGames etc who have huge marketing budgets, there own marketing channels and cross-promotion strategies. So in order for indies or small startup studios to compete the question which arises are:
We all know that there can't be such fixed budgets but any approximation would really give more insight. :) Also feel free to give your suggestions on different marketing strategies that can be applied. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Gated/ premium content - what are your thouhts? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:45 AM PDT You probably saw celebrities like Cardi B promote her only fans content recently. & platforms like Patreon and YouTube membership have seen an exponential growth recently as Covid caused creators to realise they need to own more of their income rather than rely on brand deals. Gated, premium content is going to be massive & Instagram/ Snapchat will probably move to include it inside their platforms too. What are your thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
