Re: How to do a startup in your spare time
#3I have a list of concerns and questions as I am doing something similar. Would be interested to see what you make of it:
What does your boss/supervisor think of your startup? How much do you talk about it at work?
Are you worried that your full-time employer will think you're doing your work on their time? Are you worried that you may be technically doing your work on their computers (even by logging into Asana or a similar site)?
How do you juggle meeting clients, contacts, mentors, other cofounders, with your day job? Not everyone can meet in the evenings and at weekends.
How do you send urgent emails related to your startup in your day job?
Will you consider leaving your current job/position to work full-time? Have you set yourself goals or conditions for going full-time (revenue/traction/funding/other?).

This is more like a how to be a startup hipster in your spare time- guide. Just missing tips like where to order your single estate coffee for your hacker space.
Managing to juggle two demanding jobs at once is very difficult and what tools you use are pretty irrelevant.

+1 That's what I thought I was going to read according to the title. In my country most guys can't even do anything else besides their dayjob because of their contract. (Doing something else in the 'open' that is).

Even the start-up sounds like a joke. Just a bunch of semi-insightful metrics on a flat dashboard...ugh...er, I mean, yeah there's definitely a market for that.

I think "engineers" get more giddy about the tools than the job at hand. It doesn't matter what server configuration you have or what language you used if you don't have revenue.

#8Write this article when you've succeeded and quit your day job.
When.
