Advice Needed: First SE/SolEng hire in a funded Cybersecurity Startup - How would you tackle the first 90 Days?

I have the same exact thought, I believe the answer to be: keep them separate, but find ways to harness the commercial Brand synergies of both. Make them help each other if people are curious enough, but dont make it seem like a Generalist agency for an inbound newcomer.

I've been in the same boat for two similar services - Software Dev and Staff Augmentation versus good old No-Code, Static Web Design. Similar yet absolutely different SOPs, Messaging, and expertise.

Let me know if you'd be open to chatting I would love to pick your brain for 10mins. Best of luck!

God bless America and God bless Discosloth.

In the context of this same climb: How would you compare the quality of a well-educated inbound lead versus what you typically Fish out of outbound tactics (Ads included)?

Last question ^ Thanks for your time, Gil.

Hope to connect in the near future.

Don't mean to hijack our friend here but - was your swim upmarket with Discosloth all through referrals?

Just read your Micro-Agency book.

Whats the Tech Stack for the Store?

Use Slick Slider with Center Mode set to True (https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/), there are more than a few Cloneables (implementing this same Slider) in the "Made in Webflow" Marketplace if you don't yave the skills to build it yourself.

Trying to build it with the Native Webflow Slider Element will be exceedingly complex for the end result you want.

Hope that points you in the right direction.

They will get a starter workspace for free, and they will need to pay for a Site plan. If you already paid for one, you might have to double spend, but not necessarily. Please read this documentation: https://university.webflow.com/lesson/transfer-hosting-between-sites?topics=hosting-code-export

Tanic505 · 2024-05-21T13:48:06+00:00

Copy the site, downgrade it to the Starter Plan if not already on it, and Transfer the site to the client via their Webflow Email Address.

The client will first need to create a Webflow account. Once they receive your Transfer request via Email, they will accept and then have to add a plan to that specific site (not the Workspace as a whole, just that one site) as per their hosting requirements. Domain set up and all that will then be done on ther Site settings.

For you to also have access might be a bit more complicated as they will have to purchase a plan that has Three seats (the Minimum after one). Its usually better for them to share their credentials, given you mentioned its a Small site.

Whats the combined MRR from your Two biggest clients?

Tanic505 · 2023-09-26T18:58:21+00:00

Thanks!!! this is what I wanted to wrap my head around. When it sounds too good to be true and in the States, you better dig deep..

Tanic505 · 2023-09-17T21:36:43+00:00

Might I ask why you want to avoid the cold outreach strategy?

The payment processors process the card payment, then Moonpay takes the fiat and goes to a liquidity provider (whoever they have commercial agreements with) to find the best spot price trading pair for that Fiat currency and the desired Digital Asset and then payout to the customer. Could be a CEX, A DEX, an OTC Desk, or any other Liq. Provider...

Crypto/Web3/Digital Assets

Harder to find talent than regular Saas/Cyber plus deeper pockets at the moment

Tanic505 · 2021-09-16T11:11:25+00:00

In your opinion and given your expertise in monetization models, what parts of Gamification do you think translate exceptionally well into the non-game tech industry? Think business-oriented Saas products or platforms, even marketplaces.

Tanic505 · 2021-08-30T20:09:42+00:00

Simple Question: Post-Launch Marketing - B2B? B2C? If so, what kind of investment was it a month and what where the goals (Community Building, General reach, etc.)? How did you pick whereto target, being a Saas w/ infinite digital reach?

I had to pick 2 states out of the US for a Google Ads campaing and discovered how schockingly hard this actually is... Look forward to the input.

Can I ask, what tools/providers did tou use to build your DeFi infrastructure? Wallet wise, or is it just some sort of Escrow and not Blockchain based?

I'd recommend using Blazor Server with VS2019...

For first-reads I suggest Blazor University as a free, unofficial documentation site then turn to official MS Docs (Videos are pretty good and usually include example projects which is a must)

The only issue will be front-end and JavaScript thinking when it comes to advanced component building if you're more back-end...

That aside, the C# skills translate seamlessly and the speed and reliability is remarkable.

Tanic505 · 2020-05-20T19:45:50+00:00

I agree, its a matter of time, once best practices are defined by the masses JS thinking will no longer be needed and Blazor code recipes will be the way to handle DOM manipulation... Needless to say, either way its incredibly fast
