    Validate MVP with seed/Series A or follow the money (Series B/C/+)

    @aconfusedperson The enterprise stuff is tough. I've gone down that road, and would be happy to have a private chat about it some evening. But you're starting with at least a soc2, pentests, saml, rbac, and likely people/permissions ingestion from some existing HRIS or directory as the bare...

    The other middle manager in my same position is leaving and C-level wants me to take his over team

    @connor24 Nah, this whole line of thought is dumb. If your employer lies to you, leave. It's like cockroaches: there's never just one lie, or to just one employee. Equity is only worth anything if a company succeeds, and what is the likelihood that a company who makes a practice of lying to...

    Validate MVP with seed/Series A or follow the money (Series B/C/+)

    @aconfusedperson my .02: you need actual users. If your play is employee retention, and you address no need in the seed/A, then what do you learn? How do you get renewals? You're almost certainly not going to win the fight for a tear out. Though you should offer eg the remaining contract...

    Saas stack choice these days ?

    @hambonewc rails + hotwire. 90% of what react gives you at 10% of the dev time. The stack is very mature but still under active development. deploy on fly.io. it's occasionally janky but way less effort than aws

    @moses199 Not at typical vc failure rates though, which this idea definitely has.

    Cloud Deploy: Heroku vs AWS & DevOps

    @deliaraz Heroku has had some serious security breaches recently, and is clearly not well-loved by salesforce (the owner). I would suggest any of fly.io (I use this; it's great if a bit expensive, though unlikely to be a problem for small apps); elastic beanstalk from aws (I've had some...

    B2B SaaS product-market fit

    @kc8vji Yeah, I meant go to market. Basically, how you market and sell, at what price, and to whom. The thing is, for saas businesses, gtm changes what you build. It's awesome to get customers fast, but (in my experience), after that, you change what you build based on the price you want to...

    I started a mildly successful car business. Need advice!

    @mhcapa1 I don't think you should do this, or at least you need an exit strategy. The thing about asset light businesses like Turo is you take all the risks on the assets. Turo can up and change their mind about the business as a whole, or change the rental economics in their favor at any...

    B2B SaaS product-market fit

    @kc8vji I worked on a similar product. This is just a guess, but it's one strongly reinforced by experience: Integration is, actually, nothing like easy. You think that a store is basically a spreadsheet of . That's true. The majority of online stores are unable to reliably produce that...
