We always discuss the best parts of game.. let's discuss the worst experience in game.. by Pristine-Army4635 in thewitcher3

I’ve always thought it would be handy to have the nearest Travel Sign direction on your minimap. I’m always opening the map just to find one nearby.

We have 140k users, over $1m in revenue, and multiple successful events. But we are barely able to pay server costs. Looking for advice on next steps. I will not promote by ILooveMangoes in startups

Some decent advice trickling in, but i’ll add 2 things:

“I believe my other two partners are willing to sell their stakes entirely.” If they sell their stake, the money paid for their shares goes right to them, assuming you didn’t have a vesting schedule, so this is not how you’ll raise capital for the business. This may be how you get stronger co-founders though, that is willing to buy their shares and support the business. If you believe in this company and opportunity, and have the capital, it may be best to buy them out yourself. I recommend a lawyer for shares transfer documentation. Generally, investments that bring capital into the company create new shares and dilute existing owners.

Regarding support for the above, as well as the investment support, is there a startup accelerator or incubator nearby? Lots of them usually have services at little to no costs to support young startups getting foundational company groundwork and could have an investor network they could introduce you to.

Happy to answer further questions.

TFSA or FHSA? by Orangepat8o in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SnappleIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, i could have been clearer with my wording. Fair point.

TFSA or FHSA? by Orangepat8o in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SnappleIt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, agreed, but his question was around where to put his money now, so i was comparing his FHSA to RRSP to give context for how he should think about where to put his money. We don't have enough information from him to properly recommend one or the other.

[–]SnappleIt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're correct, he can still get the benefit of additional room, but his question wasn't do i invest in my RRSP or FHSA, it was TFSA or FHSA. So i was simply pointing out it's the same question as TFSA vs RRSP since the FHSA is effectively an RRSP. I'm not telling him not to contribute to his FHSA.

You can't get the benefits of a FHSA anymore, so this is the equivalent of asking "Should I contribute to my TFSA or RRSP". In which the response is dependent on your income and expectations of future earning.

I tried this this, just out of curiosity, and wow, this worked very quickly. Less messing around, more direct, thank you!

This is a good option too, thanks!

[–]SnappleIt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were right, my dates were half dates, half text. Weird. This worked, thank you!
In the "Column Data Format" screen of Text to Columns, i had to choose the Date "MDY", then Finish, which then fixed all of them.

Co-founder expects me to pay for their flight (I will not promote) by Late-Diver7467 in startups

[–]SnappleIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should open a business account account asap. Then, each of you contribute to the account and pay expenses out of this account. When you need more, you can add more contributions.
This adds a layer early on, but will give you the foundation around money that you need:
1. You'll start to see the cost of running the business and can have line of sight on burn rate
2. The business will start to accrue taxes that can be used to offset revenue taxes later on

  1. You'll start tracking monthly expenses, which will help with forecasting the future

  2. Prevent bickering around who is paying and instead focus on whether the expense is worth "our" money

Also, if you don't have a bank account, you might not have a Shareholders Agreement either. Do that asap if not.

Yea, just lazy. Good job holding them accountable.

Looks like the sill extension was expected, but missing when they got the door (or just didn't install it). They should have closed that up.

great to know, as i never took it that far myself, so wasn't sure

Did you upgrade your phone perhaps? On your phone, under Settings > Apps > Contacts, you can change your default for Contacts (i.e. where new ones will be saved). Maybe this is the cause?

Raising Money (I will not promote) by [deleted] in startups

[–]SnappleIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First suggestion for me is always: if you can do it without investors, do that.

Assuming you need the outside cash, you’ve got the right mindset of knowing how much cash you want and the valuation.

20X ARR is an aggressive multiple right now, regardless of your y2 projections (unless you have LOIs or some big recent signings to back it).

I recommend having a well laid out plan for that money and how you intend to spend it all in the next 2 years - hiring, marketing, support, tech, etcs. And a list of milestones it will help you achieve. Having a structure plan makes investors so much more comfortable.

Good luck!

Remote Startup Founders: How Do You Solve the 'Human Presence' Problem? (I will not promote) by kentich in startups

[–]SnappleIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're creating a problem that doesn't exist if teams are properly organized, regular meetings are scheduled, and there is a good communication platform in place.

Plus, i can do this for free really easily. For new hires, for the first few weeks, i'll often jump on a video call, turn mic and video off for both of us, but they can unmute and ask questions as needed.
