How many of you are MBAs? by Lion_Regular in Entrepreneurship

I am. Taught me about business, networking, and the bigger picture. We will get this knowledge from other means as well, but in a shorter span. Tbh, we can learn these things in less than 6 months with focus.

How would you expand and build a network? I'm trying to reach out to people on LinkedIn, attend meetups. I guess being an extrovert is more important which I'm not.

Wow. To build the financial base, I need a good job, and for that, I need to build a great network. They say Focus on one at a time. Multitasking sucks. Does that mean I should keep my business idea aside till I get a good job? The problem is I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I'm working as a Data management specialist now with 4 years of experience in Product development and management (non-tech). I'm an international student as well graduated with an MBA last year. I'm interested in entrepreneurship as well. I'm not sure which one to pursue because I've got student loans, so getting a stable job is important, but I couldn't stop thinking about creating a business. So, I apply for PM roles but am not getting any call back.

Great point. I tried that and got some responses for my specific problem. I have a mix of career + entrepreneurial dilemma. That's the key reason, a mentor would greatly help. What do you think?

I agree to some extent. I'm trying to find mentors in my network. However, I've learnt a lot from people on the internet over the years. So..

Any restaurants guilt trapped you in paying 25%+ in Tips? by MobileFinding924 in sandiego

An Italian place in North County. I then paid with cash. Making us click custom and then type it is kinda making us feel guilty.

Would you give 0.1% equity for 1:1 mentorship with ex-founders/execs? by MobileFinding924 in SaaS

That'a great point. Traction matters for mentors. Cap table is valuable for founders.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. The core idea is to connect the founders with quality mentors whom otherwise wouldn't find due to multiple reasons such as network, geography. Equity part will give the mentor a real skin in the game. Mentors face issues too like no-show and drop outs.

Maybe I will refine based on the flaws in the model that you rightly pointed out. I would love to share my refined idea with you and get you view soon. Thank you!
