| I have the BEST idea since AMAZON. Tell me what's wrong with it? Posted: 04 Jun 2021 12:52 PM PDT I'd probably get a bullet to the back if I actually pursued this (large corporations like keeping their money), so instead, I'll just leave it out here in the open. What if there was a website just like Amazon, but instead, all the products you see are local, from mom-and-pop (non-franchised, brick and mortar) businesses? The reason I see a need there is the growing awareness of shopping locally & supporting small businesses. Think how huge this could be: Basically local businesses would need to photograph/upload their inventory with prices. When someone orders an item, there would be some kind of same-day delivery service (perhaps 3rd party like uber-eats [which would open up even more local jobs]) that would take it to your doorstep. Or you could pick up if it's not far. Why stop there? Unlike Amazon, customers would also see local SERVICES (like hairstyling or oil changes) and they can schedule/pay right on the site. AND THEN each businesses profile on the site would have their own reviews from customers, offer coupons, discounts ETC. What a great way for businesses (even new ones) to gain exposure, instead of just listing businesses on google hoping someone stumbles across. Imagine how pissed big box stores like walmart would be. It might not be cheaper, but you know there's a segment of people who prefer to support local businesses, plus more and more people want stuff delivered to them at home. Just think how pissed Amazon would be because people could get their deliveries same-day. It's not like I hate big business. I'd just love to see more fair competition between huge corporations and small businesses. Plus it would help bring communities together, I think we need more of that. There could also be sections for community events, alerts, etc. Accountability is always good for a community. My ideas are usually stupid and this is probably no exception, but I had to let it out somewhere. If you like the idea, feel free to continue to brainstorm and discuss! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:33 AM PDT Hi, I have created a simple landing page for my app medstac (that stores your medical records) which is currently on MVP (not yet published) and I would like to know your feedback on it. Thanks, [link] [comments]  |
| Runway and burn rate for investment Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:57 AM PDT I'm looking to raise money for my app. I've created what is I believe a reasonable case for growth and revenue generation, though I'm fully aware that it's wrong in every way, despite my best efforts. When it comes to raising cash though, I'm thinking in terms of a burn rate to allow my app to grow. I've seen that startups in my industry tend to seek a runway of 14-18 months given a certain burn rate, at which point they're out of cash. Now my question is whether I should factor my estimated revenue generation into this, which would allow me to keep the same runway for less cash raised, or should I ask for more cash and assume less or no revenue generation?

| What are your best virtual team event ideas/experiences? Posted: 04 Jun 2021 03:38 AM PDT Curious to hear of any creative (kind of budget-friendly ;) ) ideas, games, maybe tools for team sizes between 5-15 ppl? I organised our team dinner yesterday, which was super fun, we ordered the same dinner menu for everyone who was in Berlin (vegan Vietnamese tapas so that we can talk about the different dishes), the others got Wolt vouchers, used https://wonder.me/ (great tool btw, I can recommend!) and created different dinner tables so that we can break out into sub-groups and re-shuffle later. But for next time some games would be nice or something more creative, interactive, etc. Hope we'll soon have more in-person events but it might still take a while, so happy to hear your experiences!

| Experience with a tool/equipment rental business Posted: 04 Jun 2021 07:01 AM PDT My area is a sea of suburban single family homes with a handful of restaurants, a few grocery stores, and a Home Depot. The Home Depot does not offer tool rental, and Home Depots that do have tool rental generally have a physical dedicated area of the store that would require an addition to the store to start providing that service. Someone would need to drive at least 20 minutes if they wanted to rent a tool. As a homeowner myself, I've been frustrated with needing to buy a tool only to use it once and then let it sit around until I might need it again a few years later. I'm wondering if creating a tool rental business in a strip mall or something would be profitable in my area. Simple power tools would be rentable, but I would also probably provide things like pressure washers, generators, etc. there may also be opportunity to offer things like 3D printers available for use at the facility, though I'd need to think about that more. I have a degree in marketing but don't work in the field. I do have design skills that could help make the business look and feel as good as any National chain of rental businesses, and I would also probably want to add some sort of convenience features (e.g. rent it online and pick it up from a Dropbox, have the tool delivered, etc.). Does anyone have any experience with this sort of business? It seems like it could be relatively low cost to start up. You just need the space and the equipment, as well as something like a website, which I can make myself. I have 50-70k in cash to spend on it, which could potentially cover a lot of this.

| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 06:06 AM PDT Hey! I'm curious if someone here who has founded their own crypto start-up has some knowledge to share. Please let us know your story and how you got into this space. What was your first step? Something special you learned that you want to share? Where did you find your co-founder/founders that share your crypto love? I, myself have a great idea for a crypto start-up but don't really know where to start. I have zero programming knowledge. Is taking a course in programming the way to go? or is it better to find someone with that knowledge and focus on scaling the company? Very thankful for everyone taking the time to respond, let's keep the discussion going. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 12:45 AM PDT I'm 18 years old and I'm only starting to get into entrepreneurship because my mom, an entrepreneur herself who co-founded a coding school in Calgary called InceptionU told me I have great potential to be one. I have some ideas floating around in my head, but they don't seem that great to me, or good enough to try and start something. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |

| I'm Scared Of Being Hit With Tax Fraud Any Advice? Posted: 03 Jun 2021 10:07 PM PDT So I run a digital marketing company and last year I really didn't make enough money to file for taxes; however, this year things have been looking up for my business and I'll actually have to file taxes now which is a blessing and a curse. It'll be my first time filing as a business owner and I'm worried that I'll leave certain things out or forget things that would help me in the long run or just flat out count as tax fraud. Does anybody know of any great sites that help with business taxes? An accountant is a little expensive for me right now, and I've looked into Free Tax USA but I wasn't sure how legitimate they were.

| Getting into the food commodity export-import industry. Posted: 04 Jun 2021 01:03 AM PDT Hello guys do you have any tips on how to become a food commodity exporter or importer? I am asking since throughout my years working abroad I've come into contract with a lot of farmers and small business owners who want to export stuff such as young coconut, beef, spices, and charcoal made from coconuts to the international market. Background information: I am from the USA, I speak fluent Bahasa Indonesia and some Tagalog so most of the people I know who want to export their goods come from Indonesia and the Philippines. I want to get into this field since I want to both help the people I know make some good cash and give them a larger range of buyers from across the globe as well as generate some income for myself. Thank you guys for your time. [link] [comments]  |

| Welcome to the Airline of the Future. Posted: 03 Jun 2021 09:06 PM PDT Welcome to the Airline of the Future. Airlines have been optimizing further and further for years. Diminishing returns. Antiquated structures like "seats" and "tray tables". What if we started thinking outside the box? Brought an entirely new paradigm to the airline industry? The Interior. Let's start off with the seats. Get rid of them all. We've reached our limit with seats on an airplane. Overhead compartments. Slows down loading. Gone! We are moving to all-checked baggage for free. Now for the fun part. Along the length of the plane on one side, stack three wire racks upon one another. Let's call them Comfort Shelves™. Passenger Experience. Ultra-Fast Loading™: You walk into the plane, lay down on an available rack back to front, strap in, and wait for taxiing. Right as taxiing starts, flight attendants lock themselves into the galley area and start pumping anesthetic gases into the cabin. In 10 minutes, you're out cold. Right after landing, the gas stops and you awake at your destination. To you, you lay down on a rack for a few minutes instead of suffering a cramped 14 hour flight to Singapore. [link] [comments]  |
| Help out a young entrepreneur with marketing in person Posted: 03 Jun 2021 09:52 PM PDT Hi r/entrepreneur, hopefully someone sees this. In the past 3 months I've started an e-commerce (not dship) company to sell a revolutionary product in my niche which i'm passionate about, paintball. The feedback has been positive, but sales have been slow despite racking up 1k followers on IG in a month. I've realized that a huge avenue of leads are in-person marketing at paintball fields, where you bring your gear and others see, and you recommend the company where you bought it from. I even have a customer who plays at my local field, and upon looking at the return address of a package I sent, he realized we live 15 minutes apart and said that we should've just met instead of shipping. Then he, like a good community member, asked me if I wanted to play together some day and get beers. The only problem is, i'm 16. He wants to make another order and meet me in person, quote "i hate shipping, just meet me at [arena name]", and i'm desperate to make a sale. On top of that, like I noted before, I need to go to the arena and vouch for my company and make sales, but seeing that a high schooler is behind what is a growing company is a turn off and I think that would hurt my brands reputation. I've considered pretending to be the brother of the founder or something, but it's unsustainable and eventually this loyal customer would realize he was lied to, and I don't want that to happen either and risk my reputation. And word of mouth is powerful in this community, hence why I want to go to the arena touting my products in the first place. I could just pretend to be unaffiliated, but in person marketing is more effective when you can pull the product and sell it out of your backpack right at the field. Please advise [link] [comments]  |
| What i did and what i should do? Posted: 04 Jun 2021 04:59 AM PDT Hi i am trying build some kind of social network ,but i am really struggling to find first users to it. First of all i want to explain what is my platfom. It is actually very similar system to urban dictionarry but not same. It is based on Douglas Adams book The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. It allows people to define whatever they want. Like Cars Models,Phone Models,Coins or Nail Cutting Methods everything okey with definible title and definition style format. I thoguht the idea is good because there is good and loyal cominities to this book and they were trying to build similar sentences of their own like Douglas Adams in comments sections. When i look at the comments sections of general in internet there was a lot of things that can fit my format, and they were getting huge ammount of likes,upvotes whatever llike ...Bitcoin=so called money that made me have less many After i build the website, i have started to post my link ,and why and how should they use the website No one, o one even told me something about it. They were clicking then after 0.001 secont later they were get out. I thought that there should be some content to show people that how the system works. Sadly i am not capable enought to create humor in English, many of my friends cant even understand a single word. Then i thought that if my idea comes from Douglas Adams i can run the website with the content of him, and registared as a Douglas Adams. After that i started the search about content available which is olso definiitive format.For example i have created account for a Mama Gump. You know she defined world for his son. Thanks to the interactivitiy format that i want to show is awailable now. You can jump the Mama Gumps definition for life from Douglas Adams definition for anather thing. Then again i have tried to post some links, there were some possitive feedbacks but in general it is considered as a spam in genereal i guess. Lastly I thought that i should allow people to decide whered they wanna come my site or not and started to send just screenshots form my platform as the humor that they are looking for. I actually did it yesterday first time. There were more likes more comments but noone came visit my website. I believe that if i continue to the same thing maybe they wonder what is over there Yes this is all what i did to find users,and how i failed Do you have any advice for me? [link] [comments]  |
