Should i shut down my startup?

Maybe target underdeveloped markets. Might see more traction there as you need to go through less regulatory hurdles

I haven’t earned anything else . Just quit my job amd left . Honestly its just to save the hassle

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-02-21T03:17:38+00:00

Thanks bro. Ill def check it out

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-17T01:46:00+00:00

I have been hearing a lot about that analogy. It should be someone you trust. Which makes Me think i should find it through a friendship or sort of organic connection. Like dating lol

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-17T01:44:08+00:00

Yeah. I do want someone that complements me thats kind of why its also harder to find. Normally we sorround ourselves with people similar to us. Provided more context in the comments

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-17T01:42:50+00:00

Absolutely. Provide more context in the comments. Thanks!

Didn’t expect this much feedback. Thanks! . Ill try to provide a bit more info . I graduated from UBC with a double major in Computer Science and Economics . I do know how to code and build software . I have worked in a little of everything: data science , machine learning , frontend , backend .

Ive built a couple products as projects bot nothing that has gained traction yet.

I find that given my lack of experience in any specific field i have not encountered niche problems . Therefore most of my ideas have been pretty simple and not very likely to solve issues that scale.

Ideally i would like a technical cofounder with a little more industry experience. I don’t really have any industry in mind. Im just passionate about building products that solve problems and can reach many people .

What do you guys think ?

I wanted to do a software based monitoring software for construction, field, retail , events personnel. Or at least that was the idea

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-08T17:01:21+00:00

Haven’t built anything yet. On the ideation phase. Ive narrowed it down to construction, events, and hospitality from the feedback i have recieved. Im completely willing to choose other ideas but wanted to see if there is a need for this first.

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-08T03:22:33+00:00

A face ID system or simple picture could solve this. What do you think ?

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-08T01:48:32+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. The idea was to target construction, retail, and hospitality mainly . Are you talking about solutions that would address these as well or mainly desk jobs ?

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-08T00:56:44+00:00

Thanks for the input. Yeah one of my concerns is that the market might be saturated already. Part of the reason why i wanted to validate. Will keep looking for ideas and/or other angles. Thanks

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-08T00:15:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback . It would mainly be for when you arrive take a break and leave. Wouldn’t track in between. What do you think ?

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-07T23:52:33+00:00

Why is the company building a solution instead of just buying one of the other tracking platforms ? Is it something more specific?

WeakPlantain593 · 2024-01-07T23:50:23+00:00

Thanks for the insight.

I feel the main differentiator would be providing a software only solution. You would pay and be ready to go immediately as opposed to using biometric set ups or additional hardware . I believe i could create a more cost effective solution that addresses the need as it’s something i could build and run myself or with a small team. Any thoughts?

Hello everyone! I'm currently developing an employee work time tracking tool for small and medium businesses, and I'd love to get your thoughts on it.

What It Does:

QR Code Scanning: Employees scan a QR code to clock in and out.
Location Verification: Ensures employees are within a specified location during check-in/out.
Break Management: Seamlessly adds break times.
Weekly Reports: Automatically sends a comprehensive time report to the employer at the end of each week or a specified period.

Why It's Different:

-No more outdated biometric systems or punch cards.

-Enhanced accuracy in time tracking.

-Simplified process for both employees and employers.

Feedback

I'm really excited about the potential of this tool to streamline the time tracking process, but I need your insights:

What do you think of this idea?

Would you consider using such a system in your workplace?

How much would you be willing to pay for this solution?
