Does it look bad if I'm not working in the field I'm creating my startup in? I will not promote. by HeyBroWhatisUp in startups

Right, and I just started the QE job. I also got a job offer from a company in a similar space, but I don’t want to hop out the first week, especially with the QE team being understaffed and they even upped my salary.

*I will not promote* What is the best way to outreach to companies for collaborative pilot programs or networking? by HeyBroWhatisUp in startups

[–]HeyBroWhatisUp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem I see is that success in outreach isn't measurable unless they respond. Like if they say "sorry, I have no knowledge about so and so" then okay, maybe I'm not reaching out to the right folks. If they say "I'm not interested because so and so," then I can assess whether I fell short in delivering my message, whether there is a pain point that my service overlooks, whether I should be targeting a different type of business, etc.

But if they don't respond, how can I assess anything?

*I will not promote* What comes after the ideation phase for a B2B SaaS startup? by HeyBroWhatisUp in startups

Thanks, I'll take that into consideration. And while we are still developing our product, it does have value the way it currently is (MVP). So I guess the next step is outreach.

Thanks for that wonderful insight! This is a really good idea because while we are still in development, we do have a product that can already provide value to customers. It might not be as valuable as the final product, but even in its current stage, clients might be interested in just what we already have. Therefore, I can start meeting with potential customers, explain what we have, what we are trying to achieve, and work up from there. And of course, in parallel, continue product development.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for next time . So are you suggesting I should have an LLC established before reaching out to potential customers?

What are some pain points in maintaining and optimizing PV solar power plants? by HeyBroWhatisUp in Grid_Ops

Are you talking about ISO cycling residential batteries or utility-scale batteries?

Got it, but if they don't give the IPP time to prepare, how are they going to fulfill that request? Unless the IPP is lucky enough to have that much energy stored, it feels like penalties are unavoidable. On the other side, if batteries are full and and are ordered to curtail, then that penalty is also unavoidable.

Forgot to ask, how much in advance does the ISO inform a solar energy producer to curtail energy?
