For first time entrepreneurs creating an early stage startup, it can be very expensive to incorporate and do all the IP and necessary legal things to form the corporation. I made the mistake of incorporating in Texas and just recently formed in Delaware. I looked at Clerky, but their service seems costly as well.
Do you know of anyone who does low cost legal advice for early stage startups?

So far the FB CPC hovers around $0.70. We need >200 users per flight booking. A hotel booking has not been made through our platform yet. Not much data has been collected though, seeing as we've only been live for 2 weeks. It might be important to note that, at this point, we're not so much interested in how much we make from the actual booking as much as we're interested in the conversion rate itself. We use the Exp…
Taking a look at the product here are a couple thoughts 1) You push me onto a landing page instead of right into the product - why? 2) The initial form you ask me to fill out is a bit intimidating - perhaps it can be broken up a bit 3) On the results page - its unclear at first what I'm supposed to click on - and you dont tell me anything about the flight or the hotel you've chosen for me 4) Results page loads slowly…

Have you grown to other states?
We have at least a small user base in every state, and also a small user base amongst students who started with us and went on to be accepted into universities and colleges, but to date we haven't invested significant time or effort into growing either. We've been too focused on trying to work out what the business model will be at the end of the day. Would you recommend a different approach?
Hi Michael + Aaron, We're building a smarter way to share product updates ( https://productmap.co ). So far we've received a great amount of interest (waitlist) and have users already integrated that are coming back over and over. The next steps would be to build out some of the feature requests as it's fairly early right now. One of those requests is having custom domains and users are happy to pay $10-$20/mo for it…
2 friends and I started an infrastructure inspection automation software company. We have 1 big customer.
2 out of 3 of us see big potential in expanding the software and customer base. The 3rd has very little drive and wants to milk our 1 big customer for every penny. We but heads every time we discuss anything.
When we started the company we split the equity 1/3 each(big regrets).
Suggestions on how to move forward?

Why do you believe charging for domains would be self limiting?
Better put, a custom domain isn't part of the value we add, it's just a gateway to realize the value. Should we be charging for something that's not really tied to the value we provide?

What have you done to increase your user base? How have you measured your experiments? What do your users say when you talk to them?
1) Initially, we sold "pastries for catering" to very small size start ups in our area. With the money we generated from the sales, we built the first prototypes that we used to deliver the pastries we promised. And when we delivered to these small companies, we explained to the employees (who really liked the pastries they had) how they can do it at home. We closed our first (3) sales like that. 2) Then, we spent a…
