The idea that fundraising now is easy is a myth. I'll give you that it's as easy as it's ever been but it's not easy. It requires a lot of prep work, time, and full time dedication…

A few steps not to get screwed: 1. Perform your own due diligence. Just like investorscheck companies, you should check your investors. Talk to other companies he's invested in. As…

I believe it has to be a person. I've used Mechanical Turk in the past and it's great for easy, simple tasks. This one requires a little learning, which means sticking to one perso…

Let me just add a different perspective here. To me there are 3 things I think about when picking the technology: 1. cost 2. scalability - how big do you want to be and does the st…

Focus on what matters, age isn't probably the main concern. Maybe a 35yr gap affects the expectations that each founder has in terms of dedication and outcome, but shouldn't you be…

My first advice is, you should get a lawyer to do that (I'm not a lawyer). If you're a C-corp, ideally you haven't issued all stocks you're authorized to. Usually you're authorized…

Do not quit!!! It's all about your comfort zone. Getting out of it is a daunting task. What you feel is not new. You need 1. assume you're going to struggle getting out of your com…
