    Any Ideas in how to provide liquidity to founders in case of a money event for early stage startups ?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 10:57 PM PDT

    Recently I've got a call from a fellow entrepreneur asking me to provide him with ideas, or examples of shareholders agreements in order for founders to capitalize in case of a money event ?
    The main idea behind this though is to provide a group of founders some cash in the initial round, not higher as 5 % of the total investment round ?
    Some ideas :
    1. Founders did not get a competitive salary in early stages, so the difference of the salary minus the market salary could be registered as capital contribution (sweat capital). I case of a money event they will get back that sweat capital
    2. Intellectual property payback (Does VCs like this ?)
    3. Compensation plan, are there any cases for founders (any examples ? )
    Please share any thoughts or experiences....

    I work for startup A. I am also an angel investor in startup B that is NOWHERE related to startup A. Is that a conflict of interest?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 12:50 AM PDT

    I am a passive investor in startup B and I do not deal with them on a day to day level basis.

    Startup B is not in the same business as Startup A.

    Will this be considered a conflict of interest?

    Is it fine to tell my CEO that I invested in startup B?

    How/where to find mentors?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 05:50 AM PDT

    I have a startup called yalgar.com it's like Airbnb (in general) how do I find mentor who can help me to design financial model of my startup. Right now it's been live but not sure how to move further or what should I look for!! It was just a school project but I brought Airbnb 10-15% service fees to 5-6%(yalgar.com) so I really think people can save hefty amount of money if they use our services how do I have an exposure?

    Hi I made my startup its a successful idea. Someone important who knows alot of links and will definetly boost my sale reached out to me and wants to be my partner. I am 100% sure I can do this on my own, but with his power sales will boost extremely high, and my name will be trusted easily.

    Should I take the chance or tell him no?

    First time pitching, what's in my brain ...

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 09:56 PM PDT

    1. When preparing and did it smoothly, my brain likes all things are organized and under control.
    2. 10mins before pitching, my brain is blank. (Not that bad, since I prepared well and I just need repeat)
    3. But at pitching and Q&A, my brain... Errr... Like chaotic strings.

    But it's a good experience.

    Social app: top feedback is getting more users... does this mean we should scale faster?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 10:16 AM PDT

    I'm working on a consumer social app. I've sent out a product-market fit survey like the one described by Rahul from Superhuman and it seems like the top feedback for how we can improve the app is to get more users (the app inherently relies on a lot of users to achieve a critical mass).

    The engagement metrics I have are dropping off to low 15-20% by week 4. Part of me knows that the platform needs work to keep users engaged so I do not want to scale too fast and have users churn before the platform reaches product-market fit. The other aspect is that the platform relies on an active user base and a critical mass, so I do need to scale fast enough so that inflection point is reached.

    How much effort should I be putting into user acquisition at this point?

    Are there some recommended frameworks or techniques I can learn more about how to estimate software development and maintenance costs / hours? If so, what are they called so I can look them up?

    I'm a mechanical engineer and the product needs an app component along with a database to store users' generated data. (I will eventually find a computer science person to be a co-founder.)

    Opinion on High School Interns

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 05:28 PM PDT

    As a high schooler, I am interested as to how many startups would consider having a high school intern.

    So, if you created a startup, would you hire high school interns (they can be paid or unpaid) and what responsibilities/opportunities would you provide them?

    As a young startup, what Excel/google/etc sheets should you have and use for administration and management?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 03:19 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I am just trying to get an overview in this field. So I would be very grateful if you could post your opinion and experience on which sheets are really useful for administration and management in a young startup.

    Thanks a lot for your time and expertise :-)

    Edit: If you know great articles/blog posts about this topic I would also greatly appreciate a link.

    Advice Wanted - Negotiating stock options with a start up

    Posted: 28 Jun 2021 03:37 AM PDT

    G'day Folks,

    Have applied for an Operations Manager role with a startup and it was mentioned in the first interview that stock options may be on the table in terms of compensation. I just got past the second interview and things seem very positive - meeting HR later this week at which time I think total package will be negotiated. I believe I'd be within the first ten people hired by the company so am keen to hear what approach people would utilise when negotiating their package in such a circumstance?

    Happy to provide further details where able (NDA will prevent certain information). Thanks in advance!
