$10,000 goes along way 1) Subcontracting work on upwork,logo design, etc. You can get quality contractors for under $100 / hour easily in many domains 2) Buying LTL freight and MoQ orders for physical goods overseas 3) Buying tooling for most small processes 4) Getting consultant experts in your domain not related to business, but rather hard to get information 5) Recruitment services (indeed) 6) Paying for monthly SaaS programs to help you lay out processes 7) Registering domain names 8) Rapid prototyping with local fabrication shops 9) Getting a shared coworking space for $100 to $500 a month to establish a meeting place for localized service-based contracts / networking 10) Paying for courses online to learn all the tools you need 11) Paying for housing/food/etc in the very few months of operation 12) Hiring your first subcontractor lets you lay out processes on slack/notion/trello/insert_project_management_tool etc. So you can start laying out SOP (standard operating procedures) that scale well over time, and find loopholes through rapid A/B testing You can build anything you want once you reach a reasonable baseline. Also you can be super cheap about everything you do too, you can buy scraping tools for instance for $300 a month or more, or you can just run your own scrapers with a $5 vpn/month service.
