| Should I make moves on selling or should I offer my services as an employee? Posted: 18 Nov 2021 07:19 AM PST I am a solopreneur, I own a SaaS and I plan on making money out of whatever I built. Quite recently, a company showed interest in my product and scheduled a call with me. I have two options that I think of now, 1) Sell the product for a certain price, 2) Offer my services in tech as an employee for the company. My dilemma is, since the product value is in the code I wrote , if the source code is not up to standards as for the company's requirements, wouldn't they lowball me for the price? The alternative here is to work for them and build this there, ask for a good salary, and ownership of the product. Any thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2021 10:14 PM PST Hi im in the proccess of starting my tech startup and looking for some advice on how to go about it. A month ago I had a great idea for a tech startup, it would be a paid service web app. I have validated the idea and will be putting all my effort into bringing my vision to life. I am just about done a detailed wireframe and feel confident about it. My plan is to pay for some UI prototyping so I can create a pitch deck and put it in. I want to pitch it to investors and developers to create a partnership because of course it would be impossible to do it all myself. Is this the right way to go about it, do you have any advice that can point me in the right direction? I had a previous tech startup that failed. Albeit I learned alot from that failure, I worked with a hired developer and this time around I plan to partner with a developer instead for various reasons. That startup was actually a great idea I was the first to a niche market however the execution was terrible and I watched how years later someone else came out with the same idea and scaled it to 9 figures. I feel like my current project has enormous potential and just want to do it right this time around. Any advice on how to go from a wireframe to successful startup would he appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Need advice regarding my product idea Posted: 19 Nov 2021 01:05 AM PST Hi, I've got this product idea which I've recently started to build: A SaaS which brings all your cloud storages together, So you can easily surf through all your files on Google Drive, Dropbox etc. at a single place. In addition to this, the users can easily move files between different clouds right from the app and also take advantage of the total combined cloud space they get. I don't want to build something which won't be used by anyone. Do you think it's useful and you'd use it? or it isn't helpful and doesn't seem like people will be using it? [link] [comments] |
| How do you learn/develop biz/sales skills? Posted: 18 Nov 2021 09:16 AM PST Hi Not sure where I can post the question. By no means, I'm not a marketer but a data scientist/analyst. Recently, I'm building a splash page for my side project. But I feel like I don't know how to make it sounds great...my writing on site sounds so boring.. Just curious about people who are good at marketing here... How do you learn/develop business senses? Like writing paragraphs that interests you to wait... Best [link] [comments] |
| Struggling with concept of MVP as validation Posted: 18 Nov 2021 11:07 AM PST I am considering starting down the path of starting a digital health start up in the next few months. I have identified a specific problem and have been doing outreach to potential customers to learn about their experience with the problem. I have used FIGMA to build a basic wireframe to conceptualize the idea and have gotten good feedback. Based on some feedback I have received, I have started to use Bubble to build a very barebones MVP to get additional feedback and iterate. It is based on the most basic functions customers have told me they would appreciate and use. However, as I am working on this, I keep running into the idea that I am a non technical founder and know there are several huge technical obstacles in the way of deploying even a basic product that 1) achieves the most basic functions of what I am hoping to do and 2) is secure enough to make me comfortable and be able to ask people to even test basic functions on it. I know that I am learning a lot from Bubble, FIGMA, customer interviews and investigating the problem so don't view this as wasted time or energy. I would be a first time founder but have personal and professional experience in the space I am entering. However i struggle with a concrete way to more effectively validate and test an MVP. I am signed up to attend a virtual start up boot camp in January where I am sure I can find help with these issues and thoughts but wanted to see what experienced founders would do? Are there additional steps you would take to help fine tune the problem and validate the concept while I get everything else in line and decide if and when to move forward? Happy to provide more context if it would help. [link] [comments] |
| How to deal with racial pay gap as a person of color? Posted: 18 Nov 2021 07:50 PM PST Hey all! Me, a male person of color working in tech found out that I might be racially underpaid. I came across salary data for my startup (90 employees) and I was the most underpaid on my team by up to 27% (team of 6). In addition, i validated this by looking at other departments and seeing a racial wage gap too. To also validate this more, 40% of the company are people of color, while only 20% of the ones that make more than 100% are people of color. To be honest, I'm disappointed af. I love my company, my team, my boss, and the work I do. However, this makes me ao frustrated. My boss actually talked to me about a raise in Jan and I only started 3 months ago. So many questions now: - What do you recommend I do considering all the above and that I literally just started this job? - Is it normal to have two people on the same team/position with a 27% salary difference? - Other people of color, how do you deal with this? Thank you everyone! [link] [comments] |
| reaching out to particular segment Posted: 18 Nov 2021 07:58 AM PST Hi team, I would like to discuss with some nutritionists to validate or not a particular problem. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to get in touch with them. I tried to do cold outreach through their website or email but right now nobody answered me. How do you manage this kind of situation?
