| How many ideas do you realize aren't gonna make it before you settle for something? Posted: 28 Jun 2021 01:14 AM PDT My situation is rather simple, find something interesting that I would like to have/ use. Do market research, ask around, and it usually turns out that it's already done rather well or it doesn't seem feasible. Back to the drawing board with another idea. I am now a couple of ideas deep right now, is this normal, is this an expected occurrence? [link] [comments]  |
| What’s the best way to stop getting ‘burned out’? Posted: 27 Jun 2021 07:10 AM PDT I founded a startup that's about to launch an app. One thing I find happening is that I'll put time into work for a couple of weeks, then I'll have a week where I do very little because I find other personal things to do like hanging out with friends. It's not that I don't want the app to succeed, I think it's more of a happiness mentality issue. For example, the app's success would take months or years, so I wouldn't get much happiness from it right now, but hanging out with friends or watching TV makes me happy now, so I choose to do that instead. It's a combination of being burned out and trying to find the quickest source of happiness. What are some ways to change this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2021 02:38 AM PDT Hello, Redditors A very good friend of mine is a 3rd year student at the Faculty of Business Administration in Bucharest. Unfortunately, he is in a fight against time with the delivery of the bachelor's thesis. In order to complete the entire paper, he needs some answers to the questionnaire below. The survey wants to analyze the design and functionalities of start-ups. Knowing that here on reddit there is a large community of people passionate about entrepreneurship and start-ups, I would kindly ask you to complete it, if you have start-ups, you have experience in this field: https://forms.gle/xJHaXfmzYJXzieWd7 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2021 12:28 PM PDT I have fully launched my app. I have over 10k downloads, I have the 4th largest school district in the USA interested in my app. A board member wants to implement it within the school district. I have teachers wanting to advertise within the app and sell their products on my app. My target audience, special education teachers/parents/students love the app. I don't want to give too much equity (possibly 30% for 3 mill) that would give me room to work on the app build a marketplace (I have the audience and it continues to grow) etc. The potential to make money I believe is big. I have a deck that I am working on and just about to be completed. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2021 02:24 AM PDT Hey! I want to share with you some part of my heart ❤️ The Thermo English project was started as a Telegram channel to help people learn English using simple and interactive posts with movie clips. It turned out to be quite successful. I've got a lot of feedback from people and they told me that's the channel that helped them to improve their English. Some of them changed their lives completely because of that. I have decided to scale the project to reach as many people as I can. It was just a Telegram channel out there for 2.5 years, but this is time to make it bigger and influence the lives of more people If you want to know about Thermo English more, you can read the article, or if you're into the video here it is on Youtube. Here Github repo: Here I highly appreciate any kind of feedback. I'm always open to everything, so feel free to contact me! Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2021 02:20 AM PDT So I've been working on this app for the best part of a year now and I've got some designs that I'm pretty proud of actually. I've received quotes to get the app developed and needless to say they are in the thousands of dollars range (money which I don't have) I was wondering if the idea is good enough would angel investors invest in the idea/app. If so how would one get in front of these angels?

| Is dividing up a software project to contractor devs around the world trouble or beneficial? Posted: 27 Jun 2021 06:00 PM PDT Hi all, I've got a software startup I'm working on, however, I do not have all the expertise to complete the whole project myself. My plan is to bring on board another software dev and together modularise the entire project then hire contractors in different countries to complete the modules then we can combine their parts into the bigger picture. Doing it this way has several benefits: much cheaper than hiring software engineers locally in the US, we won't need office space, saves time for us doing all the development, prevents any one engineer from stealing the whole project code. We haven't done this before though and I'm forecasting that integrating the code might be a logistical nightmare. We'll have to be quite organised and specific with the architecture. The purpose is to simply get our first prototype together though for a minimum viable product. Does anyone have any advice as to whether this might be more time consuming then doing it all ourselves or whether this is a sensible idea? [link] [comments]  |
| How do you sell software (web-based) to K-12 schools? Posted: 27 Jun 2021 04:30 PM PDT Dear all, I own an edtech website, centralised in the automatic correction of students' submissions. I just finished coding it, and am ready to get it sold. The website works via a system of membership (you get X months and you can upgrade, i.e. add X months, anytime). You also get a free trial of 4 days to play with the tools. I am currently located in Europe but my target is worldwide. I am quite disoriented as to how I can present the website to schools and how I can convince them to buy a membership (around $180 a year for the whole school). The User Interface / User Experience isn't fantastic, so I may be disadvantaged by that point. But the functionality is there. I am a student, I have never had any sort of experience with sales before. My questions are:
Any help would be much appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jun 2021 06:58 AM PDT Hello, I am the creative director at a startup my 2 friends and I started 2 years ago. We're now at ~26 employees and $4m ARR.. and we're growing quickly. As the creative director there is a lot of pressure for me to come up with creative solutions.. which is not always easy. 3 months ago, I came up with a creative solution for a personal project. It gets me very excited because I feel like it could have a positive impact on many thousands of people. The issue is I've been spoken to a couple times by our CEO who tells me I need to "focus" more. Apparently other people on the team don't appreciate it when I work on personal projects, as they are not working on personal projects, they are focusing on the company... but I've been bottling this idea up for months and I don't think it's good for me. There's plenty of work that needs to get done in the company, but I want to spend some energy on a completely different project. Next week I'm taking a week off after a long year of hard work. I feel so tempted to work on my personal project... it would probably only take 3-4 days to build, and could have a really positive impact. And it would then be out of my head and I could give that space to other creative thoughts. I feel like I'm in a catch 22 where either I don't build this project and it continues to be a thought in my mind that haunts me in some ways. Or, I build the project during my week off (which I would honestly enjoy), but then I have the potential of upsetting the team cohesion at my company.. I just want to build my idea, it would make me happy.. Any thoughts would be great. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| As an early stage startup, how do you hire developers effectively? Posted: 27 Jun 2021 12:08 PM PDT Recently a founder friend of mine was hiring a developer for his startup and the biggest problem he faced was that the number of applicants was very low. That got me thinking, how do you increase the discoverability of your vacancy? Do you post on Indeed, angelList or use a service that posts to all of them? (Optional) what does your hiring process look like? e.g: algorithms, take home problems etc? [link] [comments]  |
