Get a business coach and extensively network - or just focus on product market fit and the connections will come. I guarantee you that will be far cheaper than the millions of dollars worth of equity you would be giving up. I agree with the

$17/mo is for 300 API calls per day - so that would be closer to 9,000 calls. If you are looking to do more API calls than that there would definitely be cheaper pricing - especially if your use case involves sending requests as the us

Just because you don't have a co-founder doesn't mean you can't talk with other people about your startup. I am a solo founder and I spent a lot of time talking to friends in my industry and early employees.

Hacker News is one. We are all being marketed to by Stripe right now. Startups aren't the only type of business where the people within them congregate in specific areas. So you just have to find those places for your specific customer

Unless you are hiring someone for a VP type role, your new hire likely isn't going to step in and know exactly what they should be doing everyday to achieve the goals you have laid out for them. So you have to try it all out yourself f

If Mailwizz had A/B split testing I'd consider giving it a further look. But it looks like it doesn't, and it is worth paying $240/mo (or whatever my MailChimp bill is) just for that functionality.

The two can coexist side by side. A moderate libertarian might simply be someone who wants lower taxes, less regulations, and the government to stay out of people's personal lives. Nothing about those policies or viewpoints directly co

This is exactly what I'm doing as well. The price difference between Hetzner and AWS is large enough that it could pay for 4x as much computational power (as much redundancy as you'd ever need), three full time system admins (not
