There are also other cost to consider: - How much time (=cost) do you need to start running (enterprise) - Time you need to access the cloud, starting up and closing vms, and getting shared GPU resources. - The cost of lock-in. Ecosystems a

Just sell something on top of a blockchain protocol. Think Ripple, but 100% private blockchain. Just don't allow anyone to sell to anyone but you. Suddenly you've removed the volatility and deflation risk inherent to cryptocurrenc

Contractorship in Europe is very different from one country to another. Not just for laws and regulations; but rates differ a lot, too. In the UK you can easily find contractor gigs for 300-400GBP daily rate. 500 is not uncommon for some r

Simply put, it's a dog-eat-dog kind of business. You'll be competing with established giants like monster/linkedin/stackoverflow, niche sites, country-specific-sites, other web spammers, etc... This bussiness has built-i

Thinking about webhooks... do not sell webhook tools. Only coders with no time to spend will want to use that... and they will feel bad because they haven't code the stuff and probably they would be able to code it. If you want to sell

I'm not sure about using a credit card for this. Simply put, credit cards are usually issued to (high-level?) employees that leave, change contact details, etc... so your customer lifetime value is capped by the credit card expiration

"Ultra low cost" can be also a sub-$1000 monthly bill sent to a huge corporation ;-). If you can sell them something in that range, they won't stop paying you (even if they don't use the service). 10 customers @$999 &#x2

Today .com is a serious asset. It it's taken, buy it as soon as you raise money. Investors won't protest if you buy a $XXX asset that might not loose value if everything goes bad.

Probably the most important part of GDPR is the fact you must prove you're doing reasonable efforts to comply. In my company we've setup an internal redmine project that tracks and has pointers to all development and administrativ

Maybe another source of information is Microsoft Outlook. Last time I had a corporate Windows Desktop I remember it tracked the time I spent in Word (for instance).

An interesting addition could be a semicircle pie chart. It's very common to see them in dashboards and in the news when reporting election results. Making them look ok in {qlikview,tableau,etc} it's a bit time consuming.
