    Is it possible to hide your identity as a business owner?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2020 01:48 AM PDT

    Particularly in industries where there are not many black owners, there is stigma surrounding them. Is it possible to not be outed as a "black business?" Or is this inevitable.

    How do you keep your enthusiasm going when starting a business with no one to bounce ideas off of?

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 07:32 PM PDT

    Hi all. I've attempted to start a few businesses in the past and am at it again but realised that I have absolutely no one to talk about businessy things and lose motivation and enthusiasm about half way through the starting process.

    I'm going into manufacturing (home and garden sector) and still have a lot to do before launch, but I keep second guessing myself and anxiety keeps creeping in. I really do love my concept and the product I'm about 95% finished developing, but without someone to bounce ideas off (even from completely different sectors/businesses) I'm finding it hard to keep moving forward.

    Any advice? Cheers everyone.

    How Do I Know the Profit Margin of Products?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2020 12:33 AM PDT

    I'm totally new to the export business, and of course with the product too. How should I know what's the profit margin of the product that I'm going to sell? It's obvious that no other person in the same business would like to share their profit margin with me. So what's the best way to fetch inside details before starting with the export?

    Concert venue- where to begin

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 07:44 PM PDT

    So to keep a long story as short as I can, my business partner and I have worked in the festival/stagehand/radio (him) and festival/venue management (me) for years now. I always kept a full time job doing IT during winters and did the show work during the summers. When corona hit, we adapted very quickly, and the two of us founded a streaming music event company in may, and have already begun making a slight profit. That being said, all of the venues in my city have closed, gone bankrupt, or been sold. We would like to take our skill sets to running (owning?) a venue full time once they begin to reopen, but we both are not wealthy and don't know where to begin. Our individual experiences, resumes, references etc are no problem, it's the money that is. How do we get money from investors? I know it's a stupid question but everything is so weird. I get sponsors for all my events so I'm familiar with making marketing decks and giving presentations etc, but wouldn't know who to reach out to or how.

    Would you consider launching your business outside your primary location?

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 05:31 PM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I have been noticing a trend that most businesses are stalked in one location (e.g US) when their business can literally work in Canada or even Europe or Africa.

    What is stopping you from launching in other locations?

    This is just a personal research to understand why great products can't or don't want to expand

    Startup Companies: Biggest failures of All Time

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 06:16 AM PDT

    This post is based on the research that I made for a YouTube video that you can find here. The numbers have been updated with September 2020 numbers on all startups.

    Methodology

    I've researched all kinds of different sources and compiled a list of the Top 10 biggest failures when looking at how much was invested in them. I've done extensive research, but I may have missed something, so would be great if you find something that I've missed and isn't on the list.

    Personal Comment

    I made this list so that we can learn from them and avoid their mistakes. Always remember though that behind any Startup there are real people, real people that have invested blood sweat and tears into these startups. And Yes they most likely invested blood sweat and tears even if the startup ended up as a failure. Building a startup is rough, going down with a Startup is even rougher, so well done for trying!

    #10 Terralliance $358 million invested
    Terralliance was in the business of looking for oil but in a very different way. They were using low and slow flying airplanes to find pockets of oil. A very creative approach, but I guess it never really worked.
    Year defunct: 2008
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit

    #9 Amp'd Mobile $407 million invested
    Amp'd Mobile was launched in 2005 as a new mobile phone provider that targeted a younger demographic and featured downloadable and streaming video as well as streamed live events which was all new at the time.
    Year defunct: 2007
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: Mismanagement/Bad Decisions

    #8 Pay by Touch $427 million invested
    Pay By Touch was a payment provider that offered biometric authentication at the point of sale which was supposed to be a low-cost alternative to other payment options.
    Year defunct: 2007
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: Mismanagement/Bad Decisions

    #7 Webvan $580 million invested
    Webvan was an online grocery store where customers could get products delivered to their homes within a 30-minute window of their choosing.
    Year defunct: 2001
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit

    #6 Abound Solar $700 million invested
    Abound Solar was manufacturing thin-film for solar panels.There is not much information about this company online.
    Year defunct: 2012
    Location: Colorado, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit

    #5 Theranos $726 million invested
    Theranos was making a blood-testing device that could test you for any disease you can imagine, from only a small drop of blood.
    Year defunct: 2018
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit (+compelling proof of fraud although nobody convicted yet)

    #4 Better Place $755 million invested
    Better Place was building a global network of battery-charging and battery-switching services for electric cars. The key was this battery switching that meant you could have a fully charged battery in minutes instead of waiting for a long charge.
    Year defunct: 2013
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit

    #3 Jawbone $1,045 million invested
    Jawbone developed and produced wearable technology such as wristbands, wireless Bluetooth headsets, and related technology.
    Year defunct: 2017
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit

    #2 GO.COM $1,162 million invested
    Go.com was not a traditional startup that had investments from investors. Go.com was a Startup inside Disney. I added Go.com to the list as Disney actually made it public how much was invested and lost in Go.com and that amount qualified them for this list! Disney wanted to build a portal that had all the content that Disney provided. Disney also acquired the search engine Infoseek and Infoseek became a part of Go.com
    Year defunct: 2001
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit

    #1 Solyndra $1,853 million invested
    Solyndra was a manufacturer of thin-film solar cells.The secret sauce of the product was that they didn't use polysilicon. Not using polysilicon was an advantage as it was costly and there was even a shortage of polysilicon in 2008.
    Year defunct: 2011
    Location: California, USA
    Why they failed: No Product Market fit

    Why do most Startups fail?

    Looking at the list it becomes pretty clear that there are two reasons why these really big failures happen. Either they never find a product market fit or there is some mismanagement or bad decisions. In some cases there is both. If you ask, What is the number one reason startups fail? It is pretty clear from the biggest startup failures of all time that the number one reason for failure is that they never get a Product Market fit.

    Take Theranos, there clearly was no product market fit, but on top of that some really bad mismanagement and maybe even fraud.

    Where Startups Fail (and Win)

    Another interesting observation for this group is that they are ALL from the US, not one single Startup from anywhere else in the world made this list.

    Actually, the geography is even more crazy. Not only are they all from the US, but 9 out of 10 are also from California. All 9 are either in the San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles, incredible to see 9 out of 10 are from only 2 cities.

    Sure there are some really big losses here in California and you are tempted to think that they make some really bad investments in California. However, California looks bad because this is where most investments are made and there is a willingness to take really big bets here. When you take really big bets you will win some and lose some. We have to remember that the number of big winners here is even more staggering - companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, Cisco, Intel, Oracle, eBay, Salesforce - you know I could keep going.

    This post is based on my best research, if you find something missing, please post a comment.

    Also, if you have any stories about these Startups it would be very interesting to hear them. Most of these companies have some really colorful personalities and leadership behind them.

    Free website

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 01:34 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I've just recently graduated from my computer science degree and currently had the idea to setup my own website design company whilst the job hunt is proving difficult during these times. I Have built websites, mainly e-commerce stores for years whilst studying for my own projects and feel I'm pretty experienced in this field.

    So I'm looking for a few people who need a website/ecom store for their business and I'll make this to a high quality and set everything up for you entirely for free. All I ask for in return is a detailed review/testimonial. This way I can build up a portfolio and reviews for my business. You're also welcome to tip if you feel my work is deserving.

    Please do let me know if anyone's interested and we can work something out.

    Many thanks!

    how is overpricing considered unethical

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 06:27 PM PDT

    does this work?

    State your Argument Here

    Intention: Maximize profit, especially given that EpiPen already accounts for a large portion of Mylan's profits

    Moral Principles: Prudence and justice

    Consequences: Decreased demand for EpiPen and inefficient use of resources, but greater benefit to those working for Mylan

    Justify your Argument Here

    Intention: As mentioned by the article, EpiPen makes up around 40% of Mylan's profits. Due to the popularity and high demand for EpiPen, Mylan will have more incentive to increase profit gained from selling EpiPen.

    Moral Principles: Prudence and justice are important moral principles in this situation because firms must choose a price that will be beneficial for the producers and consumers.

    Consequences: Having a price higher than market equilibrium will benefit the producers due to higher profit, but will harm the consumers as less will have access to the good or service. On the other hand, a price that is below market equilibrium will benefit consumers because more of them will be able to buy the goods, but will harm producers due to lower profits. In short, producers must try to make their prices reasonable or close to market equilibrium so that resources would not be wasted and both stakeholders mutually benefit.

    Pointers on how to grow?

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 07:51 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I've started a company with another cofounder. While we're both really good at what we do (software development) and we do have some clients, we struggle to get more leads or just a bigger reach in general.

    Anyone got some good pointers on how to make our company grow more predictably and consistently?

    I hope you have a nice day!

    Business Admin. Degree

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 11:32 AM PDT

    I apply for college this Thursday and I originally intended to be a nursing major but now that I've put more thought into it, I think business administration may be my go to. My dad is a businessman and over the years he's passed much of his knowledge onto me and it only makes sense. Is this a logical move?
