The loan approach is not a bad one as you stated because it reduces your risk, which may be why they offered it to you. The figure you would like to get paid. The fact that you did the work at risk and have already taken risk, I would want

I've had 2 experiences. The first was with an older entrepreneur who was also very technical. He handled most of the business work and his share of technical workload. He was open to letting me (and others) learn and take as much of the bu

How much has he spent so far. On one hand it seems fairly small, which should not be an issue to repay. But I can see being a bit angry no matter the amount if he continue to do it after talking with him. If he is not communicating, then p

Content seems good for first year students. I'd clean up the format of the presentation a bit. You were inconsistent with spacing between points in some cases. Lots of switching between back ground colors, images, no images, etc. It made

No. There are lots of startups with non technical founders who can bring in (or outsource) the technical development. There is a larger risk in the quality of the code when you do this. If there is no tech founder, then most of the time yo

I should hire someone instead, but have not in the past. I grab a free template and modify it as best as I can. I have had a few users say they really like it, which always surprises me. For the next venture I will be outsourcing the des

The API looks good to me. Nicely documented. Only found one thing that seems wrong. You have: http://api.mixcloud.com/popular/ http://api.mixcloud.com/popular/hot/ http://api.mixcloud.com/new/ http://api.mixcloud.com/popular/hot/ s

A large application trying to do many things at once. Has a very long sales cycle and is expensive. It requires sales and marketing effort teams to get sales. Support services offered because it is a pain to install and/or run.

The biggest issue is the ability to learn quickly. There is probably little or no work experience yet. I would not put much weight into school projects. I would look for any contributions to open source or private projects. My recommendat

I start with brain storming how it will be used. What are the use cases? This is easy if you are scratching your own itch. More difficult if you not. Then pair down the ideas/use cases/requirments to what you need for an MVP. Then I like

The first thing is to actually talk to your potential users. I don't think bloggers are going to be of much help in this phase. You are looking for feedback and want to talk with real users. I would not spend time creating a screen cast ye

A few thoughts. First having to fill out the form to apply may be turning people off. Is part time meaning 2-3 days a week or is it 5 days a week only a few hours each day? The latter would not make the commute worth it. The ad itself do

I was part of a start up with 4 guys. 1 was my former boss, the 2 others were my equals. The original idea was the former boss's idea and he was paying for a lot of the overhead (hosting, hardware, beer, etc.) We all stated what our desir

This seems to be a fairly popular application right now. I feel like there has been quite a few calendar/appointment apps recently. Lots of competition. A few quick notes: 1) The team page is broken when you click on one of the images. 2)

Looking at the price, you might be under pricing your offering. Quickbooks goes from between $160 and $320 and intuit does force after a few years. I would add a third more expensive plan if I were you. Also you should talk about benefits

I agree. I like having a technical lead dealing with all aspects technical and a manager dealing with paperwork, burn rates, BS customer issues, politics, etc. This frees up the technical lead to do the required technical work. The larger

Could you report back how the cold calling works? I've been thinking of doing some of that but I have no idea what the ROI will be on it.

Thanks for details. I know about ending with .99 but had not heard of .79 but it falls under the same rules. Even though I know this, as a consumer I don't like it so I charge an even $25. I think the difference between basecamp and your

Don't do it. Less than half is a more than a reduced salary. That's a major cut. After 3 months do you get any compensation for the first 3 months of reduced pay? Even in tough economic times like now, I would not take the offer unless I

I also have not heard of 'footfalls'. Brick and mortal stores refer to door count. Also there is a lack of details on your site. You do have the video, but there was not enough details on the site to want me to watch it. You didn't hook m

Can you provide some of the reasoning that led you to the $12.79 amount. That is a rather odd amount, but it seems like you have a reason for it and I'm curious as to what it is. I agree it sucks to get locked out when your trail runs out.

Related to pricing, your pricing page has a 'Free' option, but you said you are not going the freemium route. I'm assuming that you have just not updated the page yet. In the comments you mentioned $12 a month. Seems strange to offer th

The site looks good to me. I don't think the "NotaryCRM will save your day (and your sanity)." stands out enough, especially since it is your tag line. There is not enough contrast. I noticed you say it is a free service on the website. Do

I was taken back a bit by the monthly fee. I was thinking it was a one time purchase kind of app. $29.95 a year is not to expensive but still it seems like a tough sell. Obviously you are not having an issue if you are having a 30% conve

ToDo lists. I find that when I get bogged down for any reason, if I create a todo list of items that have to get done I'm more likely to do the items on the list. I tend to pick up momentum as I cross items off the list. Make the list a m

Every job I have gotten was through someone I knew. This goes all the way back to my very first job as bus boy. To me this greatly reduces the risk at working at a crappy place and helps smooth out the hiring process. When I've been in the

I feel it is a bit of stretch to compare a product user to a blog reader. Having users who love your product will a) point out things that need fixing, b) give lots of great feedback. A product is something they have to use (you hope), it

"The Art of the Start" by Guy Kawasaki is a good read. +1 to mixergy.com. There are a lot of very good interviews there.

I think it is a risk factor. I was almost not hired at a startup specifically because the owner was worried about the level of risk I was taking with wife/kids/house etc. That's a good boss to have, one looking out for me. Things turned o
