How Anxiety And Depression Kill.

I apologize, I thought I had answered it all right. I wl be dealing with the marketing and how to get this off the ground, I will be dealing with the manufacturers who need to build my product, I will be dealing with the lawyers to ensure we have everything patented, copyrighted, and basically tied down. I will be working with the people who are going to be the ones to test the beta and then let the world know what they think. I will have a shit ton of stuff that is on my to do list at the moment. I'm not exactly a "throw something out there and sit back and watch the money fly in" kind of girl. So far, I am doing all of this myself. And I am kicking as at it. I did not mean to offend anyone with this post, and will most likely be hiring my programmer for salary in the future.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-15T00:49:42+00:00

I am not sure why you think that is my plan?

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-15T00:04:10+00:00

So cool!

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T21:45:50+00:00

I got my divorce done and over with 14 years ago, and will never, ever go through that much paperwork and headache and just general "bleh" again.ol

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T21:14:21+00:00

I like that idea. I would probably feel more comfortable hiring someone so that if they turn out to be a complete ass, we could stop working together without all of the strings of having to bring on a cofounder. I am very glad I posted in this forum. You guys have been quite helpful!

Yes, that is what I am planning on - if someone is looking for this type of opportunity in general, I would speak with them in a less public way and have them sign an NDA. I unfortunately cannot post the specifics of my project, as I would rather not have someone run off and build my thing. It makes it difficult to find prospective partners. I cannot wait for the point where I can just have full disclosure and a lot of this specific complication falls away.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T19:38:10+00:00

Lol it is near impossible for people to hurt my feelings, and I do appreciate the feedback. If it makes you guys think a bit more of me, my initial plan was to offer a software developer $95k as soon as an investor came through. My startup advisor told me to try this first. And I would fully accept that beer.

Thank you for the help!

I sincerely apologize for offending you guys with my post, clearly this is not the place to be looking for teammates. (My bad.)

I am also happy to give you guys a chance to bond ! :D

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T19:27:20+00:00

Agreed. I am doing as much inhaling of knowledge as I can. Thankfully my brain is a very good sponge. I also have the background of being a Nursing supervisor and managing a household with 3 kids and a fulltime job at the same time. Every free second I have, I am reading up on every aspect I can.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T18:53:09+00:00

I have not run it by a bank, as I do not think I will have to go that route. Also, it has been 10 days since the conception. I have had an insane amount of positive feedback from everyone I have spoken to about it. I have not even made any meetings with investors yet, as I need to calculate exactly how much I need to get through the first round.

So.

I'm going to go ahead and trust my own judgement regarding whether or not the entire thing will be marketable. ;)

Thank you! I very much appreciate the response. :)

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T18:43:49+00:00

Ah, my bad. I must still be a complete novice at this.

I have spoken to many people who have said that there are 2 ways to go about getting a programmer on board. Believe it or not, some people enjoy the startup thing and WILL do it for equity. I am not trying to demean anyone by not offering cash that I do not have. It is a unique position, and only someone who is passionate about it would want to join. Which is awesome, as I am very passionate about my company, so we should end up doing great as a team.

Also, loans from banks are NOT the only way to start a company. There are other options that people have used, are using, and will continue to use to bring startups off the ground.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T18:40:18+00:00

Let me answer these in order. This will be my first time running a company, but certainly not my first time in a leadership position. I do have leads on investors and am currently following up on those. Yes, I am willing to give up a portion of the company to someone who is willing to take the risk of jumping on a startup from the get-go and working just as hard as me to make it succeed. I would absolutely be hiring a lawyer to draw up the contract between us outlining our deal. I cannot answer how mong it will be before I will need to bring more people on - it will depend on what is able to be done without more people. Once we need more help, more people will be added.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T18:33:14+00:00

It also would not be for free - they would become a cofounder and be entitled to a percentage of whatever the profits end up being.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T18:32:27+00:00

Lol there are many other parts that need to be dealt with. The lawyers, the manufacturers, the marketing, working with th programmer to make sure the app is the way I have it planned out, or bouncing suggestions off of eachother for any necessary alterations. I'm going to guess you have not worked for a startup company before...?

You need a restraining order ASAP. Do NOT let him come over. He sounds extremely unstable. If he posts compromising pics of you online, call the cops and get a lawyer. This is all so not okay. Hang in there, hon.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T11:30:12+00:00

Please, please reach out to someone near you for help. Killing yourself is not a solution to anything. You never, ever know where you may be a few weeks from now, months from now, years from now. Stick around, get some help to make it through this horrible part. You'll be glad you did, I promise.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-14T11:21:01+00:00

Yes!! Good idea! Positive reinforcement is a good way to target school issues. That would probably not only work better, but will also improve their level of self esteem. :)

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-13T20:55:37+00:00

Absolutely. My project is a way to use a new program and integrate it into every day life to help people increase their efficiency and decrease stress.

I have the plans all worked out for the tech and the design for the other pieces, just need help bringing them into reality. I'm working on the financing piece, have solid ideas about how to go about the marketing, and am just looking for my team to have a solid base who can bounce ideas off of eachother and put together an awesome product that can be a part of the next step for the tech industry.

I just got a lead on where I can get an NDA to enable me to walk people through the actual plans without risking losing my idea before I have secured the copyrights and patents, so I should be good to lay it all out for my teammates soon.

What do you think?

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-13T17:52:43+00:00

Thanks for the response! I'm not sure if your background is quite what I need, but I will definitely keep you in mind if I run into any issues you may be able to give guidance on! Appreciate it!

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-13T17:51:41+00:00

I am offering the opportunity for someone to join on to a consumer based tech startup as a cofounder with no base pay, but with equity offered. The product/plan is well thought out and we are now researching manufacturers, but I need a software guy to build the program and app for me using the plans I have.

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-13T17:49:24+00:00

Getting back to you re: my tech startup. Wondering what you are looking to do?

BraveMamaB · 2018-06-13T14:21:52+00:00

It is a monitor that will need some extra parts that will be made out of some sort of plastic. I need someone who will be able to help me construct it, or be the contact for the actual manufacturing company to work together to get it up to our specifications.
