I will not promote, but how did you promote? I will not promote. That said, how did you promote your C2C business? My target user is a parent, especially moms. I got some traction from Facebook groups, but they are what they are. How do I reach more users? I am currently focused on one region, just NYC. What are different channels? I'm thinking I'll print flyers and go to all the buildings in my neighborhood. I know that's not efficient, but I need a start somewhere and the business model is hyperlocal. 1 0 replies
First time working for a startup. Equity, RevShare, ProfShare. What should I ask for. I will not promote. I'm currently in negotiations with a startup for my total compensation package. This is my first time working for a startup, so I'm completely green to this experience.Without giving up too much detail, the company will utilize a B2B model and already has MOUs with established multibillion dollar companies to sell product too. I'm wanting to know in addition to my salary, what else should I ask for? Equity, revenue sharing, profit sharing, any combination of these? What are the pros/cons of each? 4 0 replies
Solo technical founders, has not having a business cofounder even screwed you up? "I will not promote" I’m creating an AI startup; a reinforcement learning model designed to do a certain thing in a big field. I’ve basically developed code for a prototype (I hope to start training in two weeks) I do believe YC advice for taking a cofounder, but risk of getting a bad one is too high. In my life I also haven't met people with my grit, at least from my countries, so I'll have to "date down", I guess. At least in technical sense. So, has not having a business cofounder... 2 0 replies

Recruiters - what are you biggest hiring challenges in todays world, especially with AI? (i will not promote) Hey everyone, I’d love to hear from recruiters about their experiences in the hiring space. With so many platforms, tools, and AI-driven processes emerging, I’m curious about what’s working and what’s not. * **What’s the most frustrating part of your job today?** * **What drawbacks do you see in existing hiring platforms (LinkedIn, job boards, AI screening, etc.)?** * **If you could change one thing in the hiring process, what would it be?** * **Are there any under-discussed challenges recruiters face that you think should be talked about more?**... 3 3 replies
I'm thinking about monetizing the business (need advice) - I will not promote We’ve got our first customers, but we’re having some trouble with how to structure our pricing. Here’s the situation: We’re offering three plans right now: $19.90/month for access to relocation tools $1,190 one-time for full support with an expert $2,990 one-time for premium, hands-on relocation assistance The issue is: The $19.90/month plan feels too cheap, and people don’t really trust it because they think immigration services can’t possibly be that affordable. On the other hand, the higher-tier plans feel too expensive, especially since they involve experts and people are... 3 3 replies
Need advice: Sales strategy for a one-time service SaaS – referral vs commission-based sales - I will not promote Hello everyone, I WILL NOT PROMOTE, I’m looking for advice from experienced people in this group. I’ve developed an application that provides a **one-time service** – meaning that once a customer gets what they need, they likely won’t return (at least not in the short term). Because of this, **I need an efficient way to reach customers.** Here are two approaches I’m considering: 1️. **Referral program** – Users would get a **unique referral code** to invite others. I’m considering giving **30% of net profit** per successful referral. 2️. **Hiring... 4 5 replies
I am having so much fun - I will not promote I’ve always had the entrepreneurial bug. I have made 3 job changes in my career, each one progressing to a smaller company. I was recently offered a spot at a startup to replace one of the founders and I jumped at the opportunity. The stakeholders seem to trust me and I keep getting more and more responsibility thrown my way. To be honest, I am probably unqualified/inexperienced, but I feel confident in the decisions I’m making (genuinely feel I would not be able to be do it without ChatGPT/AI).... 1 0 replies

ISO Technical Co-Founder i will not promote ISO Technical Co-founder for PropTech Startup Looking for a technical co-founder to join my early-stage PropTech SaaS idea.

I will not promote. I am still building our MVP. But a potential user wants to use it right now. If you were me, what would you do? I have been developing an MVP for a certain app, and when I start promoting it for alpha testing, one of the customer on my other business noticed it and told me how she can use it right now. She even wants to pay for it. Now, I was transparent to her that it is still in infancy, and I am happy for her interest, plus some extra feedback on how she want it to be like. But I don't feel like taking money from her yet because I... 2 0 replies
I just raised $1.5M - I will not promote The purpose of this post is not meant to brag, but to seriously get some feedback, insight and advice. I’ve been working on a startup for a few years, have a co-founder, now a small team (8 employees). We bootstrapped to $250k in ARR and closed a round in 4Q24 that included a few VC funds and angels. We will likely grow to $1M or $2M in ARR over the next 12mo. So very early, still figuring things out, but for the most part I’m very grateful for things.... 4 0 replies
Find suggestions about my startup app. I will not promote this app. Hi everyone, I’m a full-stack engineer with 20 years of development experience, and I recently began developing products independently. I chose to build an iOS app for the App Store because: 1. The App Store’s user base is global, which means I can avoid dealing with payment issues across multiple countries. 2. Users on the App Store generally have a higher willingness to pay for quality content. Consequently, I developed an app primarily aimed at helping users improve their language expression skills. My target audience is: 1. Users in... 5 0 replies

I fucking suck at MVP development (I will not promote) Hello all! Sales professional here - not technical. I’m a big believer in sticking to your wheelhouse, and outsourcing when needed to increase efficiency. I’m in the early days of my startup, having a goal to stay as lean as possible creating the MVP; but I’m at the point where I’m wasting my time. Long story short, I’ve tried all the no code MVP developer apps; and I fucking suck at it. I have a very specific vision, with a bunch of automations, specific workflows, etc. What is the... 3 0 replies

Building a SaaS to Automate Telegram Group Monetization - I will not promote I’ve noticed a growing trend of people charging for access to private Telegram groups—some for premium content, trading signals, coaching, etc. But there’s no easy way to manage payments & access automatically. So, I’m building a SaaS that does just that: - Group owners list their private Telegram groups. - Users pay through a secure checkout. - The system automatically sends them an invite link after payment. I’m still validating the idea and would love to hear thoughts from anyone who runs a Telegram community (or has thought about... 2 0 replies
