    Best free/cheap landing page creator for fake door testing?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2022 06:11 AM PST

    Want to test out a few ideas without spending a lot, just wondering if there are any suggestions for good landing page creators where I could easily test out my ideas and validate if any of them are worth pursuing. Linking it to a custom domain for free/cheap and some tracking abilities would be ideal.

    Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

    Does a lukewarm response during user research mean the idea is a lemon?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2022 02:47 AM PST

    I have been trying to get a feel for whether it is worth pursuing a novel idea that involves providing paid traffic as a service (the novelty is not in the category of the service itself, but in how it works in the background, which allows better targeting and lower cost), and my target market is content creators. So far, with an admittedly small sample size, I've had mixed results at best. (Just to be clear, in my initial user research, I am trying to determine if content creators would be willing to pay for traffic.)

    What I can't quite figure out is whether my respondents are fatigued with hearing about paid traffic. (I have a Wordpress website, and it's amazing how many people spam me with offers for paid traffic).

    So, I guess my question, generally, is: does a lukewarm response during user research necessarily mean the idea is a lemon? And more specifically, how do I get a more accurate understanding of whether my service is likely to be of value to my target customer, given that there is the possibility I mentioned above about fatigue?

    Startup cto

    Posted: 05 Feb 2022 05:04 AM PST

    Hello I have been offered a startup cto position. The company is established somewhat the 2 founders have been consultants and now they creating a web product. They have just used contractors in the past for all this. My offer letter is to come in as a contractor for 6 months and then get hired on. Now there is no mention of equity now with the contractor part. I'm concerned about the no mention of equity and for me that is something I'm interested in. It's a tech company and I will be coming in as cto and hiring staff. I would be the 3rd employee besides the 2 cofounders.

    Got accepted into an accelerator program. Now what?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2022 08:12 AM PST

    I got accepted into an accelerator program in New York and I will be flying there in April and June from another country. How do I make the most of the experience? Would it be prudent to try and look for as many potential investors and try to set up an appointment with them?

    For those who've done accelerators before, any tips to share? Thank you!

    Funding Questions - At Risk with Little Runway

    Posted: 04 Feb 2022 06:26 PM PST

    I signed on with a startup a few months ago as a software developer. The idea is fantastic, the product is built, and we're getting ready to sign on for a few month free pilot with a future client. The issue is that the company is running out of runway. I've been asked to take a pay cut beyond the drastic reduction I'm already taking, but see it as a potential opportunity to increase my equity and build a relationship with the founder. The company has enough runway for about 2-4 months at the current burn, which I think can be extended if we focus only on necessities. The founder is looking for another round of funding, but due to giving away a large amount of equity in his first raise, doesn't want to dilute his ownership any more, without trying to raise our valuation first. I'm in a risky spot where I can cover some of my own costs out of savings, but want to be realistic about whether it's worth it. The founder owns I believe about 35% that's not earmarked for employees or already owned by the initial investors. He's talking about a mezzanine loan to cover costs, which sounds risky, but will likely be covered easily if he can get it, despite the high interest rate.

    My question is, based on the founder owning about 35% of his own company, what is the likelihood of getting a mezzanine loan to begin with, and are there any other, possibly less risky options for a raise to get us through the immediate future (6-9 months, likely $200,000 - $500,000 needed)?

    Please forgive poor phrasing or a general lack of knowledge, finance is not my area of expertise.

    Pricing for Creating Sales Playbook for Start-Up - Any ideas?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2022 05:00 AM PST

    I have experience working as Head of Sales for a series C start-up. In this position, I developed and implemented our sales playbook for B2B. I'm trying to build off this experience and do some indp consulting for other start-ups to create repeatable sales processes and to build their sales playbooks. I have 2 clients and am advising their CEOs (~$15M valuation companies).

    Question: How do I price this? I would like to do them on a fixed price basis for the first iteration. Seeing costs all over the place on the web, so trying to get some insight from this community on approx costs.

    I'm very new to the indp consulting space, really appreciate any feedback or insight.

    Post Vesting - New Stock Issuance?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2022 01:18 AM PST

    I work at a post series-D scale up (no longer a start-up), we're well on track for an IPO in approx 2 years. I was employee no 24 (now 400+) and received a good amount of stock options which vest fully in 1 year.

    My thinking is that of course in 1 year I can move on should I wish, there's no incentive to stay beyond the typical reasons why people stay in a company. A colleague though who joined at the same time as me told me that the company could issue a round of new options to those employees whose options vested, less they get a raft of resignations and loss of institutional knowledge.

    This though doens't match with the amount of options new employees have been receiving (hardly anything), or the fact that 6-9 months after I joined there was a big drop-off in options granted to new employees.

    Does this happen? Companies giving a new set of options to employees who have been at the company for 4 years + and whose options have vested in order to retain them?
