I started Satago and raised my first money for it on Seedrs while I was still employed at Rocket Internet. I don't think it was in my contract that I could not start a company (it is in many) but I did have to get an IP waiver from Rocket before Seedrs would release the investment - just in case. I then built most of the MVP (with a contractor) whilst employed, which was very difficult.
Main advice would be to save as much money as you can before you take the plunge. I did not have enough spare money. Also play with timezones if you can. My contractor is in Russia, which meant I could work with him in the mornings if I got up early before starting my day job.
Here is where we are now: http://www.satago.co.uk http://www.satago.co.uk Got in to the Seedcamp accelerator and raised $1M announced the other day. Going quite well. First employee starting tomorrow. :)
- reledi 12y agoHow was the first day with employee #1?
- Major_Grooves 12y agoIt seemed to go quite well thanks. Obviously lots for him to pick up as quick as possible. Hopefully he start seeing the fruits of his labour soon!
