    Roadblock. Seeking advice.

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    So today's conference was... okay. There wasn't as much opportunity to network as I'd hoped, and I didn't get to meet any of these smaller market participants like I was anticipating. The one redeeming thing is that I was able to introduce myself to someone who's a director-level person who...

    Roadblock. Seeking advice.

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Okay so since my last update, I attended a lunch meeting with a bunch of market participants and learned of another established competitor, so I'm legitimately wondering about my ability to compete now. I think there's still a shot with smaller market participants, but meeting them has been a...

    19 Years Old - Building First SaaS

    Oh yeah I forgot to ask something -- @Chx : How did you generate such a nice-looking marketing page? Did you do that yourself or are you using a third-party tool to whip that up for you?

    19 Years Old - Building First SaaS

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    I gotta say, the marketing image looks mighty slick. Well done! I'm glad you're making more progress on your app than mine -- I've been making progress but it's an uphill battle and I've been horrible at updating my progress thread. I'm gonna finally do that today in a few minutes after I stop...

    19 Years Old - Building First SaaS

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    I've read your thread here through multiple different sittings and just picked up your last post here and wanted to throw in my two-cents in the event you're not already thinking of it. You've got an option to kill two birds with one stone here. You can verify the email addresses on your list...

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Alrighty so good news and bad news from the conference. Good news is I got the attention of a director-level person at a market participant (e.g., someone who has the authority to write me a check). It looks like they're pretty decent sized as well (which means more $$$ for me) judging by what I...

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Okay so a couple days ago, I was able to get registered for this conference which starts tomorrow. It sounded at first like I was going to have to be a sponsor, but by calling the organization and explaining the situation, they were nice enough to help me bypass their website and get me...

    When should I get a permanent business address (outside of my personal apartment address)?

    Hi @TKLyte . I did consider it -- but I'd prefer a virtual service as then that doesn't require me to live in a specific area, and I can then have the mail scanned and I can read it from anywhere with an internet connection. Does anybody have any idea though as to when I should concern myself...

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Okay business update for today. I created a post about getting a permanent business address here, and I registered to become a member of this industry group so that I can register for this tech conference. I'm a bit irritated at the moment because it looks like my account has to go through some...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION CHAT 
    This is my best value, the Breville Barista Express (BES870) -- especially with this COVID stuff and the boom in remote work, I'm now able to enjoy espresso multiple times a day. Caffeine helps keep me going (and I especially love coffee and espresso; go to your local roaster, not Starbucks, and...

    Hi folks -- for folks who'd like to read my progress thread, please click my profile/avatar and it'll be the first/only post in there as of this writing (if it's not in there, please ping me immediately). Anyway I had a question I've been grappling with recently. I'm trying to start my own solo...

    Roadblock. Seeking advice.

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Azure has an offering for PoC stuff (SQL DB for just under $5/mo and there's a free App Service instance as well) -- but I wanted my SaaS product to be ready to hit the ground with clients which is why I picked a cloud instance that can handle low-level production loads. This is all before I...

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Yeah good point; plus MJ put a post here that seems kind-of related. People do stupid stuff like waiting for an hour in line for cheaper gas, but time-value of money and whatnot would make it so you're better-off going elsewhere and paying more for gas than wasting your time (which is everyone's...

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Oh yeah with regards to attending this conference next Thursday that I need membership in this industry advocacy organization for -- base membership for the year is $325 but then apparently I gotta cough-up $125 for the admission to the conference itself. Do folks think I should do it? I think I...

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Sorry for the delay responding folks. I was in SLC last week and didn't bring my computer since my car was packed to the brim with stuff already. This conference I was planning on attending apparently requires I sign up for at least a year membership for $325.00 in order to attend the...

    How I plan to die...

    INTRO 
    You're attempting creating your own product that would be the same or very similar or very related to the new company you're currently working for?? Dude you gotta be careful with that. Pretty-much every technical person out there (stateside anyway; can't speak for countries that are outside of...

    INTRO 
    Mine is here if you're interested. This thread was originally seeking advice but it's probably going to turn into a progress thread.
