It may not come as a surprise, but I am currently interning @ Microsoft (Netherlands), doing research into the Windows Store vs the competition (Play Store, Apple App Store) to find out where the opportunities for developers/marketeers/entr

Thanks for your post. I figured out that Stripe and Braintree pretty much require you to have a US company, but I was thinking about using Skrill which doesn't have this restriction as far as I know. The online platform will be fully locali

Thanks for your post! Some more information: it's a C2C / B2C online platform, there is no physical product. About the legal aspects: I'm actively going to block users from other countries than the US, so I think the only laws that apply to

Have an up-to-date LinkedIn profile that lists your skills and experience will do most of the work. Of course you can also create profiles on all different sorts of freelance/jobs sites, but that's only when you're really desperate.

Not yet! I haven't been able to work on my project lately because I'm too busy with my graduation and freelancing, but I stopped freelancing now to work on my project full-time. I hope to release it around March :-) It will be a platform (n
