Working on my side hustle. I couldn’t make any progress for last 3 months as I’m working for a startup(not at PayPal) which is my Full time job. For next 3 months I don’t think I can code, so I’m hiring engineers in Asian countries and forming a team. Should I test my waters just to see how things go by pitching? Pros: If I get funding, I can ask my co-founder to apply for my visa and work full time on my own startup. I will establish hire-fire relationship with my co-founder. Cons: Might get under valued or end up giving more chunk at this stage. Any advice/tips/ideas? 300k 9yoe
It’s not about the believing my own idea or not. If I have funding I can focus 100% from tomorrow, Else I have to give 50% time and it will delay my funding by 3 months. Either way I’m going to pitch. Now without MVP. Later with MVP and attraction
Get a demo at least to explain value, this would take your further and simplify the conversion, Without a demo or an MVP you are asking people to believe in everything you say and use their imagination to understand what you are pitching. L
That only works if you have customer lined up or have previous startup experience
works if you have previously founded a company with a successful exit. or maybe if you went to ivy. guessing neither of those apply here.
hahahahahah no.
How is Samsara these days? Any lay offs?
