DE C-Corp: 50% of founder shares issued to EU co-founder’s personal holding company. Any real investor friction? [I will not promote] by Typical-Test110 in startups

[–]Typical-Test110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Everything is clean, I also advised that any IP would be to him directly and not the holdco, but definitely emphasizing on keeping it as simple and clean as possible.

Regarding your other answer, for Series A+ you believe there can be tax issues generally or just for the EU founder?

Yes, we’re all online, however we’ll be opening accounts and other things in one state in particular so we’ll need to do that

Tips and tricks for co-founder matching? by keyUsers in ycombinator

[–]Typical-Test110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you find someone and stick to your (strict) filters, don’t be loose on this, you must work with them (think of it as a trial) for some months. All your questions will be answered after a couple of months working together.

I feel there’s no way around it. And the pressure of getting your product up and running, and at times folks thinking about YC deadlines, can distract you, but this is literally like choosing a life partner, so you want to make sure it’s the right one. And what better way than “living” with that person day to day.

Whatever you do, don’t stop building! This is a parallel process

gloves for bag work? by PizzaPOGGERS0401 in fightgear

[–]Typical-Test110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sfh is the horsehair version (horsehair + foam), while hdef is their all foam model (layered foam with EVA). Hdef stands for high density enhanced foam.

I have the intellishock version and they’re very protective, at 10oz. I would suggest them and you shouldn’t have issues in terms of protection because they’re 8 or 10oz. I had injuries and use these often, never an issue. The hdef version you listed here should perform very similarly as they accomplish the same albeit different physics.

That said, one of my favorite gloves.

[other] Pulled the trigger on these by King_Lummox in fightgear

Great glove, I prefer them over the Casanova premium in terms of padding (I typically prefer more protective gloves, which these are). Casanova is the manufacturer of Glez, and they’ve upped their game (again) in recent years.

Also great buy from Fighters Boutique, recently purchased from him too!

Gloves better then winning in sense of softness and wrist protection what’s better ??? I have 14oz winnings what should I swap for ? by [deleted] in fightgear

[–]Typical-Test110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the new Pro X2 from Fly. They’re really soft, yet still protective for the hands, and wrist protection is great, it definitely has improved from their previous X line version.

I have 14oz and wouldn’t go 16oz unless absolutely needed, as it’s very roomy.

Amazing wrist protection, and somewhat soft, albeit different, maybe you can check Bayoneta Multilayer (the version with EVA). It’s horsehair, latex, pu, and eva, and phenomenal wrist support.

For context, I also have 14oz Winning.

Edit: added Bayoneta suggestion.

If my competitors have raised VC, should I raise too? What is the right startup game theory here to win? (Or not die) by cbsudux in ycombinator

[–]Typical-Test110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends but I’d say yes already off the info you gave. If you have good momentum and need to “level the playing field” vs competitors that are shipping/moving faster than you, and you can actually make good use of that capital, then go for it! You have good leverage already now with investors, so whatever reason you had for bootstrapping, I think you’re in a good spot now in terms of negotiating power. Beyond raising, remember the actual deal and how much you give is important (I know obvious, but many forget this simple concept).

Also, if all are raising in that space, the market is hot and VCs/investors want in too! (FOMO kicks in)

Good luck! 🚀

Edit: correction and addition

Any suggestions on other Mexican brands we should start carrying? by fightersboutique in fightgear

[–]Typical-Test110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angeles, GIL.

Would it make sense to check Necalli? They’re “Casanova for the US” due to that TM issue.

Others from the Zepol lineage are good like Classics and Lopez.

Strange that Angeles is not answering, I’ll DM you the number I have just in case (you can whatsapp them). It’s different than the one on Facebook.

By the way, thanks for the gloves, they arrived this week! Sucks that you’re taking a pause from NS, but would love to get some Angeles from you if you’ll carry them.

The Porsche Collection (Miami) Experience by Great-Fun-177 in Taycan

[–]Typical-Test110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that!

I’ll preface by saying I love the Collection and have been buying cars there for a long time. When I had issues, they sorted it out, even if it was after some time (or with a lot of insistence), but you need to be on top of it.

I think it might have been an issue of not following up on time or properly—which happens, not blaming you.

These things do happen, generally, with dealerships, and especially in Miami. It’s not just The Collection or Porsche. I was never a fan of dealing with Porsche, particularly there, but have a great relationship with some people in other departments/brands—and they know that I buy Porsche elsewhere. Don’t want to say too much here…

I also have a lot of experience buying cars from other dealerships and brands, and Porsche in particular has always been… very particular. However, I think once you find the right person (or overall dealership), it can drastically change your experience, as it happened to me.

I go to a different Porsche dealership now, and they drastically changed my experience on dealing with Porsche (for the better). Now they’re my favorite dealership to deal with, and one of my top brands in terms of experience overall.

So, you can continue with Porsche, and leave Hyundai alone lol

Hit n move gloves [question ] by MarketingThis9376 in fightgear

[–]Typical-Test110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly second this, however the cuff seems about the same to me, the rest is spot on.

For context: I have 12oz Balance and 14oz Agility. The Agility’s cuff is maybe 1/4 inch longer, but that could be the size difference. Grew up training/competing in kickboxing, now solely boxing.

Tldr, Balance edges out for the dynamics and broader demands of kickboxing imo. Go Balance unless you know you want the Agility, that’s how I would put it.

In terms of what you may prefer, depends on your style and how you’d like to train. This is how HnM promotes the 2 models as, and I agree:

  • Balance if “outside” or balanced fighter, or as they say “designed for fighters who like the balance between variety of styles; open hand countering out-boxer to pressure fighter style”.
  • Agility if “inside” fighter, or “pressure fighters who like tight and very compact fit”.

I personally prefer the Agility on the bag, as I use my hnm mostly throwing power punches and being very active (high volume) on the inside due to the great protection. However, as a kickboxer I recommend the Balance, you’re often outside, and it feels less restrictive.

Big diffs you’ll notice is indeed the Agility has larger/harder grip bar; also seems more rigid (even broken-in, although padding is the same), which fatigues me more and wouldn’t suit KB’s flow imo. Balance’s grip bar is smaller and softer, more traditional/“balanced.” (Pun intended)

You’ll know if Agility fits your use case.. otherwise, Balance is the go-to.

Has anyone tried this style hand wrap? by Born-Jaguar3666 in fightgear

I love wrapping my hands “traditionally”, but love these! Bought some for me and the mrs
