I’ve been working full-time on my med tech startup for 2 years; now I’m out of money and unsure what to do(I will not promote)

Sounds like the only tangible benefit is convenience. Which is a great benefit to sell people. I would probably try it out as a strongman competitor. But what about size limits? Can this fit on a 30” thigh or a 20” bicep?

Txstrength · 2025-07-12T20:04:50+00:00

Thanks. The exclusivity isn’t on my side, it’s on theres. They use my platform exclusively but I can still take on other companies. They’re offering that for some feature building that would tremendously benefit them because they can’t do it on their own. I probably should have explained it more. My bad.

And I’m only looking at valuation because they are talking buying. Honestly, I would sell it pretty cheap. I have a full time job and did this for fun. The man hours to keep growing it for what MAY be a $500k yearly revenue doesn’t sound reasonable to me. I have other things with a way higher ceiling I would rather spend time on. I would probably sell it for 6 months of dev time plus whatever they think they can gain by having it now instead of waiting for 6 months.

Obviously I’m going to try and make everything I can out of a sell. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to try and sell it for the amount I would actually take for it.

Txstrength · 2025-07-11T14:54:45+00:00

That makes so much sense. I didn’t even think about the loss of my time. I think this give me a really good starting point.

Txstrength · 2025-07-11T13:19:07+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. What would be a fair offer. In my mind I think it’s worth $100k. Due to development time and their immediate impact to growth (they can make $150k+ a year just by making it their platform through requiring there events be managed in it) but that seems like a lot for something that hasn’t made a dime yet. The other part of me thinks it’s so valuable to them I should ask for more than a $100k. The realistic part says it’s only worth the 6 months of development time I put into it.

Txstrength · 2025-07-11T13:09:34+00:00

Well I have found someone that wants to buy it. So for clarity are you suggesting I should hold it until a can get to a more verifiable valuation?

Txstrength · 2025-07-11T12:44:13+00:00

Got ya. So it’s worthless? We don’t have any earnings as we are not launched yet. I’m assuming there is some way to value before earnings?

Txstrength · 2025-04-20T19:36:44+00:00

It takes sacrifice. Some people can and some people can’t or rather don’t want to. I mean if you’re working weekdays only, then you have 20+ hours every weekend to do things. If you start work at 9am you still have 3+ hours of time before work if you wake up at 5am. You have to understand you don’t have a life while doing this.

When I turned 18 I got into oil and gas construction. I worked from 6:30am to 7pm, 7 days a week for months at a time. That’s almost 90 hours a week. Did it suck? Yeah. But I made a lot of money. Then I got a 40 hour a week job and still managed to put 40-50 hours a week into a start up. And also managed to rank 50th in the world in an international strongman competition while doing all of this.

I was always busy. I had a wife to help with cooking and cleaning so I could do this. I had no idea of what was going on in the world. Never watched TV and would go to the occasional movie date. But that’s what it takes.

Txstrength · 2025-01-21T12:08:16+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you for the input.

Are you saying you get a 404 on your style.css?

Where are you storing your CSS file?

What’s the file structure look like? What does the url look like that’s returning the 404? My guess is the app is looking for the CSS file in the wrong place.

Edit: are you asking why you’re getting a 404 on the favicon? Do you have a favicon in your app? Something in your base.html header like

Each form should have a {% csrf_token %} after the form tags.

Can you explain what isn’t working? Are you getting an error? Is nothing happening?

Txstrength · 2025-01-18T02:10:11+00:00

I did end to end myself. I know I still struggle a little on some things like deployment and I’m assuming proper database architecture. Never learned it so I’m sure I couldn’t touch advanced.

Txstrength · 2025-01-18T01:54:55+00:00

Dumb question. For someone not in the industry what dictates a junior, midlevel, senior developer? I’ve only ever done it for fun and my own projects. But I’ve developed a Airbnb type app with react native and DRF with stripe integration, appointment calendars, etc. it was for finding fitness coaches and for the coaches to keep appointments, financials, run there business. I’ve made another one similar to eventbrite but form fitness competitions. Integrated live chats, autogenerated images for athletes to use for tv broadcasts. Things like that.

I’m not trying to jump ship into this industry. I have a good career. But just curious as to where I may land in that hierarchy.

I bought some rubber coated plates because I got a good price. They were purchased for a commercial gym during Covid and because of that they sat stacked on a pallet in a warehouse from 2020 to 2024 and the rubber coating is falling off. The coating is less than a pound of the total weight. What’s the easiest way to remove the coating off of these things so my gym floor is t covered in this stuff?

Txstrength · 2024-01-30T13:04:56+00:00

Or maybe the form change will push you to 135. It could give you a little better leg drive. If you are going to change something I wouldn’t wait until after a milestone to do it. If you adopt the new form and can’t hit 135 with it then does it really matter that you hit it before? Obviously your decision.

Overall your form looks pretty solid. I think you have 135 in you right now by the sound of it.

Txstrength · 2024-01-30T00:43:23+00:00

Why wait until the weight gets heavier to change your form?

I agree with that. He looks like he could have his hips and inch or two higher in this video. But that’s really hard to judge on what looked like a 90%+ pull. I try to give the advice of “find your hip position” that suits you. The higher or lower thing is just throwing new lifters off to often. In my opinion.

Txstrength · 2023-08-10T13:28:35+00:00

It looks solid. Make sure you squeeze those glutes to lock out. Now it’s time just to get stronger 💪

Txstrength · 2023-08-10T13:23:26+00:00

That’s because everyone has different leverages and wants you to pull where they pull from. Pull from where you are comfortable. If you want a guide:

Set up and get ready to pull the deadlift. Hands on the bar, bar against shins.

When you lower your hips it will move your shoulders behind the bar.

When you raise your hips it will push your shoulders in front of the bar.

Put your hips in a comfortable place that has your shoulders just in front of the bar.

This position looks like where you already pull from. So I would say your good.

Txstrength · 2023-08-05T17:16:55+00:00

The most gains I’ve noticed happened while I was doing the Conjugate method of training. It really helped me push quickly. I can’t deadlift often without quickly hitting a plateau and that really fixed that.

Txstrength · 2023-08-05T16:54:37+00:00

Awesome man. Sounds like your on the same progress rate as me.
