Have you launched an MVP yet? Minimum Viable Product. If not, I would get that done first.spend as little as possible. Get someone in Asia who works a lot cheaper and get a prototype. If you have an MVP and are ready to have a finished product. Again, go to upwork or fivver. Find someone offshore who works for a few grand and gives you a kick ass product. There is usually no need for some company to do it for you. They’re usually hiring people form upwork anyway. Cut out the middleman.
Patent Strategy

Separate patents required to be filed for each country where the protection is required. It is something with which the business esteem is connected. Insuring the intellectual property is also a common norm since it is an asset. One of the quintessential business components is to have IP protection a part of budgeting and business plan as well. Subsequently, a large portion of the estimation of a start-up, for the most part, gets from their IP rights. It has been assessed that on the normal, over 80% of the estimation of a new business depends on their IP portfolio. Unless your start-up offers something that has zero creation costs, you will need to tighten the pocket heavily even to make start making profits. Another aspect that the businesses do not consider is the cost associated with not taking proper care of the intellectual properties.

This is a great idea. Initially, it sounds as though the centres are meant only for school children, as a form of guidance within the school as a non-profit. Depending on your target market, you may struggle to find clients that are willing to pay a monthly fee because they may feel that it's a trivial exercise, especially when it's something they're new to. I'd suggest you do some market research, there is a big difference in affordability between high-schoolers and adult parents and their priorities will differ greatly. I'd also advise you reconfigure the method/type of membership. The monthly fee is great for income and client retention however, may be off-putting to lower earning clients. Maybe look into a day-rate or weekly rate as well. This will accommodate someone that would like to experience the facility prior to making a commitment or even someone who can't make the full commitment and only wants to visit your facilities every now and again. All in all, it's brilliant. Let me know if you've got any follow-up questions that we can handle via a call. All the best

Wxatthewmaps is an interface that offers thinking automation. So, I believe before you are choosing a business-model you must understand what it is that you want to target. Often people confuse between value-retention and customer-retention. These two are closely related. When you enter the word “value, you will come across two business models. Value proposition development is an organizational approach to building in value to the customer experience. It is simply that by building a value proposition you will provide profitable and superior customer value. You can read more here: https://www.fullsurge.com/blog/6-steps-to-creating-a-compelling-b2b-value-proposition Creating a value-focused enterprise requires a fundamental rethink of the way things are organized and managed. These customers demand, and are willing to pay for, a sales effort that creates new value and provides additional benefits outside of the product.

I would suggest utilizing Upwork.com for finding an expert. This site will allow you to create a detailed project proposal based on your needs and give you maximum flexibility to create a payment structure that fits your budget. Depending on how the training is structured, you can pay the expert you choose either by the hour or session. Holding online training seminars with multiple individuals would be the most economical and effective way to accomplish your goals, then if needed, you can find another expert with at a lower rate to help answer further questions the attendees might have at on later date. This task could be performed at an hourly rate, as the bloggers would most likely need about 30 minutes of time to reinforce concepts learned during the seminar

Periodically I do Realtor Marketing. I never buy lists, because these lists are dirtier than voter roles. Better to just go download a free copy of any active Realtor Licensee database for a given city. These lists are rock solid, because Realtors on this list have renewed their licenses, so addresses are always correct.

I have a business finding developers for startups, so this is something I have some experience in. I would say that you're looking for the wrong thing. You do not need to have developers with experience in real estate. What you need is good developers, and a solid design plan for them to follow. For example, when I got my first programming job out of college, I worked as a coder for a company that did government retirement software. Government retirement rules are complex, and I knew nothing about them. But as a coder, I didn't need to, since my boss gave me instructions on what needed to be done. If you have a clear vision for your product, and can explain that vision in tangible, clear terms, that's good enough. What you want is some solid, experienced developers who know how to build a product and use best practices. You may or may not need five people. Be careful not to make the mistake that many entrepreneurs make by overstaffing. More developers does not necessarily mean that it will get done faster. Plan out your team based on what skill sets you need, and start small. You can always add more developers later. Generally speaking, 90% of the time when I see an entrepreneur starting out with a big team, they're probably trying to do too much too soon. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

It is tricky but not possible. Having been in your situation I can appreciate the challenge that lies ahead. Investors took for signals to create reassurance and trust, things that are generally tangible like an MVP, initial customers, the first proofs that customers are willing to pay and a problem is actually being solved. Not having that makes it a magnitude more difficult so having a proxy for those tangible signals will matter most. For example to make the product more real without a product you may want to create a clickable demo to give investors a feel for the user experience and how it will work. If you don't have customers yet then maybe you can survey the market and potential customers and reference those that provide good feedback and interest in your deck. Other positive signals will be useful too. Very importantly, at an early stage, investors are backing the team even more than the product. Having a solid team with sector experience who have created a startup before and have the experience needed will be very important. In terms of investors focusing on friends, family and creating an offering that is derisked and maybe has task incentives can help get some initial commitments. Smaller tickets will help. Also if you have invested your own money and have committed to not taking a salary or taking a greatly reduced salary for an initial period will show investors that you've got skin in the game and you're prepared to lose your own money. Finally, investors like to see other investors invest, when there is momentum and fear of missing out investors may be more motivated to invest. Give me a call if you want to discuss further how to create a solid MVP stage fundraising strategy Good luck!

It is the old question of time vs money, that most entrepreneuer face. First everyone assumes their idea is great. I am not talking to you personally but the statistics show that this is not the truth. Even with careful market research (not just asking Google and friends) there is always a chance your product will be a failure nobody wants. So would you rather have tanked 50k to 100k on an expensive MVP nobody wants? So what is your alternative: Finding a co-founder, who can code it: less risk/less reward Finding an investor, who will front you the money: less risk/less reward Using one of the many NoCode options like Bubble.io - almost no risk / but takes a lot of time risking being too late or never getting anything finished So you see there is always a downside. You are the business owner. Only you know the scope of your idea. Only you will ultimately have to live with the consequences of your decision. If you need help talking about the specifics, just give me a call. I am glad to help. -Gerd

As Dan Kennedy says, "Explorers tend to return full of arrows." In other words, good chance of failure trying anything new. Do something old, with a new spin. Tip: Read through Kennedy's books (I could 60+ on my bookshelf) about how to do... business spins... slapping a new face on an old industry/niche/product.

You will probably get more or better responses posting this type of question on a forum for software developers like stackexchange because the people who actually know the answer to your question are most likely people who work at this company or used to work here, who might have signed an NDA that prevents them from giving away company secrets or any information that might be sensitive in one way or another. Given that it's better to be safe than sorry, this type of information might fall under that category. My assumption could be wrong but if I was the owner or even an employee, I see zero benefit to answer this question because without a much larger discussion, the information won't even be useful to you.

The fastest way to accomplish this is probably to use Fiverr.com and hire someone to scrape the email addresses and send them to you in a spreadsheet. Or post an ad on Craigslist with a description of what you want and you will get a ton of responses. On Fiverr perform a search for "scrape emails from a website" and you shouldn't pay more than $5-$10 for the work. For DIY, you can use something like Import.io or Parsehub. The general term for this type of task is "website scraping." From a business perspective, I think it's better to pay someone else to do it because it costs nothing and will be faster than doing it yourself. Lots of websites block web scraping these days but people who sell scraping as a service will know how to get around that type of barrier.

The answer is it depends. It depends on what you need the software for and how it adds value and creates a moat against your competitors. I'm not sure what sector you are thinking of, but if you are an online retailer then probably not as the software in that sector is fairly advanced and mature, and solutions generally customizable. That is to say up to a certain stage, once you become Amazon... you're best to have your own proprietary software. Also, there is no point in investing in reinventing the wheel for day-to-day "commoditized" software unless doing so can unify and improve processes somehow, creating unique know-how or way of doing things allowing you to get an advantage over your competitors. On the other hand, if you are a digitally native company focusing on disruption then you will most certainly need to create your own software for three reasons, firstly the uniqueness and level of customization, secondly the pace of development required, and thirdly an important part of company valuation when it comes to fundraising is the underlying company technology and IP which forms a valuable asset. In terms of software development, it is not uncommon for startups to use 3rd parties to develop the initial MVP and once proved - and with access to funding - to then take it in house. It would be unusual for a growth stage/series A company not to own its IP and develop their software in-house

You're going to have to be much more specific than that, otherwise the answer is most likely going to be "it depends on...." Bankruptcy has lots of pros but also lots of cons so you want to get a solid answer for your specific situation.

I have no experience with this but my initial thinking is that you might have a setting that needs to be set correctly so you might want to double check all the settings and options. The reason I feel like this might be the case is because I would think most terms would provide at least some type of result. But since the Shopping system is completely separate from the regular search results, maybe they are tighter with the search results and require some degree of relevancy before they feel justified in charging the advertiser for that impression or click. With the standard organic google search results, they're not hurting anyone monetarily by providing completely irrelevant results.

Social media automation is using software tools to handle some of the time-consuming tasks involved in maintaining a professional social media presence. For instance, scheduling posts ahead of time, curating content for republishing, triaging routine customer queries, and producing analytics reports are all examples of social media automation. However, not all social media tasks can or should be automated. Integrating social media automation into your workflow can take a bit of initial legwork, especially if you are used to doing everything yourself. Cross posting the same text across all your social accounts might save a few minutes, but the cost in credibility is high. Instead, take the extra time to adjust your message for each platform’s audience.

There are many forums and places where Amazon sellers congregate online, if you can find where these audiences congregate then this could be a way to approach them. If you have found niches is there any reason you wouldn't want to develop an online presence yourself? Platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify make it very easy to get going. There are even software tools to allow you to manage platforms centrally. The cost, knowledge required and the barrier to entry is low, and once you can see what is working via the platforms, then selling directly via Shopify or similar can help you get even higher margins Good luck!
