| Posted: 02 Nov 2021 04:32 AM PDT Seriously. This place is awash with crypto bros now. You're just gamblers. Go away. This sub is for creating and running a business, not gambling. Edit: taking all your money and dumping it in crypto, or any stock, is just investing. That's not a business. Investing=/=entrepreneurship. Investing might be a part of your business though. But if that's the only thing you're doing with your money, you're just an investor and you should go to a different sub. Convincing other people to let you invest their money and in exchange for a cut IS a business, and relevant to r/entrepreneur. I can't believe I have to spell it out for some people 🤦♂️ [link] [comments]  |

| If you’ve got a lot of ideas but need an extra push, here ya go. Posted: 02 Nov 2021 06:21 AM PDT So, this is pretty cool. Tldr; .Store Domains is giving away a pretty ridiculous set of prizes for entrepreneurs/wantpreneurs that pitch an online store idea on Instagram. It's sponsored by Shopify. All explained on their site here. (Called "Idea to Store") Seems like a good fit for anyone with e-commerce ambitions or ideas to get some validation, exposure, and a chance at funding. Few of the things from the site:
Basically you fill out a form, share an idea for an online business that would use a .store domain name (redditshirts.store), and make an Instagram post that tags them. You can then win weekly prizes or get picked to pitch their influencer panel of judges for the bigger prizes. Anyone try this? [link] [comments]  |
| Question: Do I need a GC license for EV charger install? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 01:33 PM PDT Hello - wondering if anyone has experience with contractors licenses (in CA specifically). Any feedback is definitely appreciated! I'm interested in starting a local company (Southern California) to install EV chargers in people's homes and ideally would like to grow to install charging stations for business/apartment complexes as well. The plan to start would be for me to do an initial consultation at a prospective customer's home and gather all the information needed to do the work as well as determine what charger they'd like to purchase/install. From there I would aim to purchase the charger and sub out the actual install work directly to a licensed and bonded electrician. Am I required to personally have a general contractor's license if the customer is paying me directly for the service but I'm not actually performing any improvement work? Thank you!

| Posted: 02 Nov 2021 12:44 PM PDT I have an idea for an App similar to a tutoring app, but have no idea where to start. Any recommendations? Where can I find an affordable developer? What all do I need to consider? [link] [comments]  |
| Dipping my toes in. Any books or other resources you'd recommend? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 12:21 PM PDT This past summer I joined the great resignation, and ended my 14 year career cooking in restaurants. I've been doing trail work and other general labor since, but I still really enjoy cooking. So I've been toying with the idea of starting a meal service or catering gig on the side. My friends and family are all behind me on this. They think it's a great path for me. However, it all seems like a lot. I'd like to get more resources and much more research. Does anyone have any experience with starting a food business from scratch? Or how about books on starting a business (specifically in the food industry)? Essentially I'm asking, where the hell do I start? [link] [comments]  |
| .com name taken, what is the best alternative Posted: 02 Nov 2021 11:39 AM PDT So as the title says the .com name I want is taken. I was thinking of using .io or .ai as an alternative or is it worth it to try to negotiate for the .com name. Appreciate any feed back! [link] [comments]  |
| Hiring is really difficult in an early-stage startup, How do I do it? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 01:33 AM PDT greetings, i am an entrepreneur starting my first medium size venture/startup/experiment. i don't want to sound all ranty or something -- there's a funny irony happening with me and my so-called startup! i am building a product about social validation & it's slightly inclined towards recruitment (can't disclose much about it!) so now as i have to expand my team for better development and completion of the MVP, hire new folks, and work with them is so freaking hard! i am making a product around it, but i don't have the resource to even get things onto the ground as of now, it's ironic but sustainability comes with a pattern; trying to find one! so any feedback on how should i work this around? where to find the right people who could fit in the culture i am building rn?

| School projects that encourage entrepreneurship Posted: 02 Nov 2021 08:04 AM PDT I study at a federal school in Brazil and I need to make project recommendations that encourage entrepreneurship and innovation for the school to offer to its students. It can be clubs, events, competitions, extension and extracurricular projects or something like that. The idea is that it is something practical that encourages the entrepreneurial side of students and offers them the opportunity to get started in the area, get to know and learn more about the subject. The projects can have a financial investment, but of course the smaller, the more viable it will be. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or do you know any other school that has something similar?

| Starting a business and hiring myself as a W2 employee? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 01:55 PM PDT I currently work in a field where I go through a staffing agency. They hire me as a W2 employee and charge the third party $X/hr for me to work with the third party. They take 40-60% and pay me the rest. If I was to start my own agency, can I hire myself as an employee? Would it be best to be an LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp? I would also want to hire out my friends that also work in this field. I would be the only owner. A quick google search showed me that I can… A) not hire myself as a W2 employee B) I could hire myself as a W2 employee. So I'm confused. [link] [comments]  |
| Here's How Ramon Van Meer Took A $300k Small Business to $35 Million Posted: 01 Nov 2021 02:50 PM PDT Especially in this subreddit, most folk seem to think you need to start from scratch. I guess that's the dream right, start and build a unicorn-like Zucks and Jack. I've made most of my wealth for buying and growing small businesses and don't think you need to start one yourself. In a few short years, Ramon Van Meer has built himself an 8 figure net worth by simply buying small businesses and growing them. He broke down how he does this on a recent MFM podcast which I have summarised here. He does, exactly what I've been doing. It's not necessarily easy but it is simple. Find small businesses that already have product/market fit and sales traction but certain parts of their business suck. For example, I brought a hair salon that was growing fast and didn't have a website or social media. 3 Years later I exited and 5x'd my investment. I brought a run-down and poorly managed gym for $120k, 4'ish years ago. It's now worth close to $ 1 million. Ramon has done this way better than I have but I believe this is a legitimate and much more likely path to wealth for most people. What do you think? Is there anyone here doing the same?

I often get a tad too excited when I'm writing a report like this. This time was no different and I ended up coding VC Watcher. It's a completely free newsletter that keeps subscribers in the loop about recent investments by top VCs. (You can find all of my past reports here.) Thanks, Jakob [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2021 09:27 AM PDT I know this is likely to get deleted but there used to be a guy on YouTube who made get rich quick videos, around 2014. He would always push whiteboard videos and Ebay. The only thing I remember about him was he used to always use weird Halloween type mugs. Does anyone remeber? [link] [comments]  |
| Limited size of USPS flat rate boxes Posted: 02 Nov 2021 01:11 PM PDT It seems that most large items won't be able to fit in USPS flat rate boxes, even though the advertised weight limit is 13 ounce - 70 pounds. You will seldomly be able to find items weighing over 10 lb that will be able to fit in those flat rate boxes. However, USPS will only allow you to use flat rates if you are using their flat rate boxes to ship. Am I missing something here, or is this intended? If you use your own container to ship, the shipping fee can be anywhere from $7.95-$322.25 depending on weight and zone. And zones can make a huge difference in the shipping fee. For example, if you're shipping a 10 lb package, it can cost anywhere from $14.40 to $83.35 depending on zones. Is there any tricks I'm missing here? [link] [comments]  |
| The Principal-Agent Problem is everywhere- in business and in life Posted: 02 Nov 2021 07:11 AM PDT As Naval Ravikant has rightly pointed out- "Almost all human behaviour can be explained by incentives. The study of signalling is seeing what people do despite what they say. People are much more honest with their actions than they are with their words. You have to get the incentives right to get people to behave correctly." - ⚔️ The principal-agent problem is a conflict in priorities between a person or entity (the "principal") and the representative (the "agent") authorized to act on their behalf. This problem occurs in scenarios where agents have incentives to act in their own best interests, which are contrary to those of their principals. 😨 Did you know it was the underlying cause of the crash of 2008? 📖 I spent a couple of days last week understanding the principal-agent problem in detail and the impact in our everyday life and distilled my learnings into this blog post. Check it out: Principal-Agent Problem [link] [comments]  |
| Would customers be willing to upload images of their desired product? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 12:59 PM PDT Thinking of a business idea where we get whatever customers want within an hour, as long as they upload the specific image from a specific store.The question is how willing are they to upload an image?

| Posted: 02 Nov 2021 12:18 PM PDT I am a FAANG engineer with 5 years experience in cloud technologies and 10 year of industry experience. Have 2 months of holiday starting next week and will like to partner with some focused entrepreneur to build something. I tried few of my ideas earlier but I think i am too biased as a developer. So any small business or SME of different domain what's to build something new or wants to automate their manual work, let discuss. Maybe we can build something new. 🙂 P.s. i will post the same message at multiple groups [link] [comments]  |
| How do most people start up outsourcing shops? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 11:56 AM PDT Basically, I know people that are abroad and can do excellent work when it comes to making technical drawings and software development. How can I find contracts and work/clients for them? Basically, I'd act as their agent and they would do the technical work. Has anyone done this? [link] [comments]  |
| Any software engineer available for experiment Posted: 02 Nov 2021 11:35 AM PDT Hey guys I want to create a trivia platform like the famous HQ Trivia app but way more simple and without the live video functionality, I never knew people really enjoyed it, at HQ's peak it had over 2 million users tune in to play. Is there any software engineer that has a little free time on their hand that will be interested in helping out with this experiment as I've got cool prizes to give to the winners who answer the correct questions.

| Pitch deck review and warm introduction? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 11:28 AM PDT Hi fellow entrepreneurs, Just wondering if this subreddit is a good place to find fellow founders who are kind enough to review my pitch deck and if they like what I'm working on, we can build up to warm introductions to investors in their network. This lockdown thing sure has changed how networking is done. DM if you're interested. I can share the company's mission here: The goal is to meld behavioral science with gamification to create an immersive & hyperpersonalized productivity tool that enables users to protect & gain from the most important things in life — health, relationships, passions and personal data. We are aiming for a future where communities of people are better in a myriad of ways - smarter, happier, bolder, and more compassionate. [link] [comments]  |
