| Is it a mistake to start a business catering to legacy tech ? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 10:57 AM PDT I have a product idea that I know will sell well for legacy Erp tech companies. However I am hesitant to take the plunge and go build it as I feel this tech will be replaced by cloud In 5-7 years. Everytime I think about this I feel conflicted about this missed opportunity. Can someone help me how to evaluate this scenario and approach this problem of sizing up the market/ opportunity. The technology in context here is sap. [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for connections to Wholesalers/Distributors Posted: 10 Jun 2021 11:50 AM PDT Hey Guys, first time poster here... Looking for good ways to find and connect with distributors/wholesalers for the new PlayStation 5 controllers, so I can maintain a solid profit margin on my controller customization company I've started... I see some websites have "connections", but you have to sign up for $$ to get access to them... I just want to contact them directly. [link] [comments]  |
| NDA for large presentation to sales partner? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:22 AM PDT I know you aren't supposed to ask for NDAs from VCs, but we have a partner who is willing to help us with sales and wants us to present to a large group of associates (50+). Is it worth asking for an NDA at that point? or is it still looked upon unfavorably? Obviously we don't want to imply a lack of trust, but we also value what we are building. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 11:18 AM PDT Anyone know where to start? I got an idea for dropcatching domains, not that many competitors in .nl, and for not so good domains in .com neither. Need a good working script for .com and .nl (more is good, not needed) Anyone know how to start? Need an automatic script where I can paste the names that I want. I know all the dates and times when the domains get released. [link] [comments]  |
| How did your startup get traction? (When every idea requires a different go-to-market.) Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:17 AM PDT Question in the title. In a pretty awful mood right now, so please allow me to vent too. (PLEASE feel free to skip.) So I feel pretty lucky in life. I've worked in big tech ever since college (Jul 2015 - Oct 2020). I'm very familiar with ads, analytics, product, coding, etc. Thanks to this, I've been able to thrive-ish (to an otherwise depressing 2020).
I had low (1-digit) $ thousands in sales by end of March. ANYWAYS, I'm not here to shill my data business. Because it was around end of March, I decided to drop everything and publicly committed and be on a social mission for 2021. I'm currently trying to build a community (subreddit) that makes it easy to make friends. The past 3 months has been god awful. I'm discovering how stupid and undisciplined (non-hardworking) I really am. Literally my entire month of May was spent trying to grow my subreddit and it only has 65 people in it, so far. What the hell, right? Well, per me being stupid, I spent the 1st half of May shilling in friends-related Reddit threads, before I found out I was shadow-banned. Per me lacking discipline, I spent the 2nd half of May DMing people to join my subreddit. Thing is, I would only DM 10-20 people before I rewarded myself by playing video games for hours. It's just so boring to DM ("cold-calling"ish) people, that I keep avoiding it. The irony in all this? I realized last week (June) that the subreddit (name) no longer reflects its nature. So I plan to start promoting a new subreddit soon. Back to 0 users lol... This is too long, but I'm already oversimplifying things for brevity. But yea, everything (restaurants/data business/community) requires different go-to-market strategies. I think I'm going to take a different approach soon. This includes using social media (Instagram), so this should be fun... I have no experience on social media, so it'd be great to hear how you grew your presence from 0 users. TL;DR - Thought I was smart and hardworking, since I made businesses profitable and worked in Big Tech. Finding out how stupid and lazy I am, now that I'm trying to "give back" by growing a friends-related and failing to be productive/effective. As the title asks, what did you do that made spreading awareness (eg daily increasing organic traffic or 0 followers to 10+ new follower every week) dramatically easier? [link] [comments]  |
