I'm trying to do some freelance web dev. or do security consulting to pay the bills. I just cannot find part-time, consultant like positions for these. I tried to look a bit on craigslist too. Both of these could be potentially viable, the money is just running super low now.
Haven't released MVP yet (by Apr/May I would)
I pitched to an angel who's invested in my space - he's interested, but only when Im a bit farther along (e.g. when I get an MVP out)
I've pitched to decision makers in my space who could be potential clientele - only (2) so far via phone - very positive feedback so far. (and no I didnt know they prior)
I've had (1) large potential client sign up and a few smaller clients (still waiting to talk to them)
I've applied to numerous accelerators/incubators - a guy I knew invited me to be apart of his accelerator/incubator (just launching new month with 10-20 startups).
I'm a solo founder (and by no means using this as an excuse (because it shouldn't be at all).
I think my fear is I don't want to deep-dive into the little savings I have left - because then I would be completely broke (as in $0.00 in the bank).
I'm literally just dazed and confused. I've never worked f/t on my own startup before either (always had the cushy corporate job) - they say crack (the drug) is addictive - I'd venture to say a corporate salary is.
That said, I would want nothing more than to work f/t on this and not go back to a corp. gig (paying 25% more than I used to make). I'm just running low on cash right now.
- mcintyre1994 13y agoIs there any way the large client would prepay to get the product built? If this is something they want and they're willing to wait until Apr/May to see anything, they're probably not wanting to build it themselves so maybe they'd be open to something like that?
- jpd750 13y agoGreat idea here, one I think I should consider more. Thanks for the support - I see no way but to push forward through this. Much appreciated mcintyre!
