    Excellent points, also outsourcing is great to grow to the first $100 K without having a partner or hiring anyone on salary. Love the point about focusing on a core product and no distractions.

    I am a solo founder and I do most things in the startup. I’ve hired devs to develop the app. Many devs want to be advisors in the company (and get a chunk of it), but I found that it is more efficient for me to pay for devs that will actually build the product.

    • @namenotfound8747
      @namenotfound8747 3 года назад

      If you can stomach the R&D cost associated with such a strategy, it will work. But it is high risk, and high reward nonetheless to do so. Not for faint of heart or cash strapped. And requires a founder that will do it all and willing to know whatever they need to know and preempt anything they might need to know in the future. Betas need not apply here. I salute your efforts.

    Easy said than done, finding a CTO is the hardest part of a start-up as most good tech guys are either employed with a good salary or involved a self-made project. It's been two years and I'm still looking for a CTO for my start-up.

    CFOs being promoted to CEOs instead of CTOs is the reason why Intel's processor business is struggling and why they keep doubling down on anti-consumer practices like limiting RAM speeds on all but the most expensive chipsets.

    @tayseermuhd1378 4 года назад +2

    Slidebean should introduce a new service where startups can come to you & literally hand over the entire task of fundraising, something that most legal firms offer. Once you secure their funding (which will save the startup a hell of time and energy), you can have your fee or a % cut/ commission out of the raised amount.

    • @slidebean
      @slidebean  4 года назад

      Well, that's kind of what the Founder's Edition plan helps with... we get involved with the founding team and our startup deals give them the support they need in other areas (legal, for instance). Check it out: slidebean.com/founders-edition

    If you need capital funding, any startup should not go into debt they should raise the money through equity. You need to check out Startengine! Just saying..... it's the best way these days to avoid venture capitals in the early stages of your business.

    All cool, but this is only focused on software based products, is more tricky than that for hardware for example, you can't just launch a hardware MVP to the public, you need large amounts of capital and a growing team, manufacturing and so on, it would be cool if you guys take us into account too, there are founders doing hardware that watch this videos, it cool give them the wrong idea or discourage them.

    your first point that the founding should be able to generate the first 100K revenew ... interesting but I cannot fully agree. It makes sense as a logic ... but reality can be different ... I am an early stage startup and have structured as a One Person Company ... to be LLP in due course ... but it seems the first 100K is on me ! The question is am I that "complete" team ...could be ...but hiring is the best choice for what I have envisaged the future ..not that hiring is possible for me in terms of budget ..it just that where I am ...co-founder deficiency!!. but i guess mine is an anomaly!! (obviously I have not explained fully ... would love to take this conversation a bit forward !!)

    I'd love to have the Company Forensics be it's own YT channel. As great as these startup help-videos can be, they are a bit too cliched for my taste and turn me off from the channel otherwise. I want to watch stories of Silicon Valley failing -- not how to join its club. Just my two cents -- as I really have enjoyed a handful of the CF videos.

    Im sorry but the first point is kind of ridiculous. It a perfect world, yes, youd come up with an idea together with the perfect 5 guys and start a company, but that just doesn't happen. The stars dont align like that. Or very few times. You think everyone knows a programmer, a designer, a salesguy, an engineer, a laywer and they all excell at what they do, and they all dont have lives they can leave at the drop of a hat and live on ramen for a year? More often than not its a guy with an idea, who had to fight upstram all the way to the top.
