    Startups I have a fear of being wrongly sued

    I have a fear of being wrongly sued

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 08:04 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I've got and idea for a startup which I believe has some success potential. But deep down i have a fear of law (not sure if there is a word for it). I'm afraid if I make a mistake or even miss something and then the other party decides to take legal action against me. I don't have any bad intentions but might not be able to satisfy customer expectations every time. Especially if I face an angry/cranky customer.

    I feel weak when it comes to law and don't have money to hire big lawyers.

    What can I do to get rid of this fear?

    Building a successful B2C product that is rarely used ?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2021 12:53 AM PST

    Note: previous thread was moderated. Please don't post product/brand names

    ​

    I've been thinking recently about stickiness and product usage, specifically for consumer apps.

    The most successful products - it seems - are the ones that are used multiple times/hours per day.

    Notifications, streaks, user generated content, gamification, etc... all keep you using the app as much as possible.

    The products which do not have these features seem to disappear into oblivion. Even for functional things.

    A few counter examples that came up :

    • insurance or tax apps (home/work/bike/...)
    • backup software
    • P2P travel booking app

    ​

    The underlying question is -> Is it possible, these days, to build a successful b2c app that is used once per month with high rentention, low churn, lots of active users ? If yes, how and why?

    Negotiating to join a startup

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 10:45 PM PST

    Hello everyone!

    I have a question. What are typical part ownership/equity deals? I've been confronted with the opportunity to jump in on a startup thats only been going for a few months. Specifically it's pest control. Im not worried about the details or financials.

    The current owner wants to have me do all the admin work and "owner" work because I currently run a $2 million dollar business. So he can do all the sales and our other partner can do all the tech work. He wants me to work for 40 hours a week for pay, and 20 hours a week for free to "earn my equity in the company" so after a year of doing 20 hours a week for free I earn 10% or 15% or whatever is decided on.

    Is that Any kind of standard deal? I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of working 20 hours a week for free even if it is earning equity

    More importantly, how should I counter offer?

    How to connect a fingerprint scanner to identify a person in an electronic medical records software through the use of 5G/cloud?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2021 01:24 AM PST

    Background info

    Hey! I am currently working on a hackathon idea to make the process of identifying patients' identities in need of medical assistance faster and easier. Ideally, this would take any general biometric scanner and use the power of cloud storage and 5g internet speed. I don't see the necessity of creating new medical record software, as there are hundreds of those available. It should be possible to extend the flow how it verifies patients, I just need some insight on how it would make more sense to do so.

    Here's the user case story:

    • Man gets in a car crash
    • Ambulance comes
    • Man doesn't have any ID on him
    • Ambulance uses a fingerprint scanner on the man to fetch his ID through a cloud database, thus identifying all of his past medical records and data.
    • Ambulance sends all of the data to the hospital they are taking the patient to for quicker response time
    • Once arrived at the hospital, the patient does another finger scan, which identifies, that he has in fact been in the hospital, after his visit, the cloud database gets synched with the medical record software the hospital uses, and the patient's medical data is updated.

    The question

    What is the most UX-friendly way of handling the whole flow for this? I imagine when a patient scans their fingerprint on a fingerprint scanner, that is connected to a tablet/computer - a new window popup up, similar to a bank transaction like apple pay, which then shows the patient's id and other medical data. Any opinions?

    Thanks!

    any insight on how to market a platform to two types of interdependent users affordably and gradually?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 11:44 AM PST

    This is my first time here so, hi!

    I'm developing a platform, which I will reveal on IH soon. This platform requires two types of interdependent users. While as a developer I 'm confident about all the technical decisions, I am completely new to the area of startups, marketing and business in general. Do you have any suggestions for very low cost, gradual and effective marketing methods?

    Challenges:

    • Maintaining a good ratio between the two types of users (This is essential)
    • Graduality: At the initial phase, my objective is to have a relatively small group of very interested users to get extensive feedback and fine tune the platform.
    • Affordability: As a college student bootstrapping this, I don't think I need to say anything else 😅.

    I appreciate any insight on how this can be approached.

    Just brainstorming: Just go to a bunch of relevant subreddits and manually induce word of mouth lol? Seriously though this may have viral potential within its niche.

    partnering with two local competitors?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 11:00 AM PST

    Hi Reddit, We're specialized in providing a turnkey solution for a very complicated localized product, and we earn a lot of revenue with each client we onboard.

    Now we have a new competitor to our largest client interested in working with us, this is great for us because it will multiply our revenue and establish our company as a de-facto of the market.

    The bad news is that it might turn relation sour with our biggest client and risk a contract termination.

    Have you ever been in that position? do you have any dos and don't? it might help to know that our biggest client is a corporate and they can decide on terminating the partnership for political reasons if necessary (they can take the hit).
