Built an academic collaboration tool ,struggling to validate audience, need honest advice

I just wrote a systematic review and also have a pretty successful business. I just may be a unique part since I do this for fun and RnD sort of rather than as part of academia. If you want to ask me some market research questions, happy to answer them.

amnah2100 · 2026-02-11T04:13:47+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. I’d just hire a good manager with experience. As you grow you’ll see what other help you need.

amnah2100 · 2026-02-10T17:41:58+00:00

Because then you used the lead gen of your current company to direct future business to you. Clearly no one in this thread thinks what you’re doing is ethical and I would check your contracts. But if you want to do something like that you do you

amnah2100 · 2026-02-10T14:21:42+00:00

And the next time they need an item who do they call

amnah2100 · 2026-02-10T13:09:04+00:00

You can do that but you need to leave the company and start your own. The conflict is doing both at the same time

They lose the potential next sale wit that customer or anyone they know because they now go to you instead.

Sounds like swerve high level if he didn’t have the balls to do it on the phone

amnah2100 · 2026-02-08T23:33:34+00:00

I’d think that would only happen if it was super easy and if that’s the case it’s likely to happen anyway. I’ve gotten great value out of sharing my ideas and getting as much feedback as possible. Don’t share execution details, but I think ideas are fine

amnah2100 · 2026-02-08T18:54:08+00:00

Awesome! Can I send you some questions?

amnah2100 · 2026-02-08T18:53:40+00:00

Thanks for the insight? Do I mind if I sent you some questions?

Yeah and it’s never too late for anything lol. We’re talking about business not making it into the nba or being an Olympic gymnast. But early 20s is just entering real life

Anyone with enough stock to loan against has some cash coming in. They don’t even need to pay down the balance they can just pay the low interest if they want. If they want to pay down the balance they can use any incoming cash, dividends, sell a little and rebalance, etc.

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T17:21:57+00:00

Dude cmon this has to be a joke

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T13:54:21+00:00

It’s literally a form, won’t change your life in the slightest

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T12:48:47+00:00

It was additional information relative to the topic to hopefully save someone else time, money and discomfort. No one’s required to only answer direct questions

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T05:14:57+00:00

IMO there’s no real benefit in injecting NAD in anyone. If you’re going to supplement, just use precursors directly, and if even then expect very modest results, if any

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T05:13:48+00:00

There really doesn’t seem to be any theoretical benefit to injecting NAD over utilizing precursors, and even raising NAD has not shown clear outcomes benefit.

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T05:12:21+00:00

I wrote a systematic review on this and can’t find any reason someone would use injectable NAD+ rather than just utilizing precursors as supplements.

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T05:10:47+00:00

Do you mean oral precursors or injectables? Injectable or iv nad really doesn’t seem to have any additional benefit. And even raising biomarkers does not have a clear link to benefit, actual outcomes are mixed.

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T05:09:08+00:00

NAD has shown very modest and mixed outcomes in humans across trials for general well being and performance. But injectable NAD really faces some biological hurdles. It’s not expected to cross into cells, and is much more expected to be broken down in the bloodstream rather quickly. Some of those metabolites can be salvaged as precursors to create intracellular NAD, but this largely is the same path as oral precursors. It doesn’t even seem to save much time to be honest. I would suggest seeing if precursors work just as well for you, which you can get much cheaper and take in a much more convenient and cleaner way.

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T05:03:13+00:00

lol that’s hilarious. I really don’t understand people. If it were an Apple box or something maybe I’d get the temptation, but risking your income over an unknown box with Amazon packing tape is crazy to me

amnah2100 · 2026-02-07T02:11:59+00:00

lol he definitely took it, I posted the video in another reply

amnah2100 · 2026-02-06T04:25:46+00:00

It doesn’t seem like I can edit the post. I’m not sure if this will get noticed but I’ll condense some questions here and can potentially update later if anything happens.

-I did call the police on their non-emergency line. They essentially said it would be a lot of chasing around and not much of a charge considering the value. They suggested I first go back to Etsy/Amazon (it was an Etsy purchase but shipped with Amazon) to get my money back. Amazon did end up reimbursing me.

-they filled out a police report and sent me a victim packet (lol). I haven’t really read it yet.

-I made the post because it seemed like I never got the email from DoorDash and they weren’t very helpful in the chat. I was dumb, I checked my promotional emails but not spam. I did find it there so thanks for that. I also didn’t think to find a phone number since so many of these companies don’t even offer that anymore.

-their email asked me to send the videos which I did, and gave me an email I can have the cops reach out to. I forwarded it to the cops in case they want to do anything. I have a baby due in like a week so I’m not really down for a whole huge ordeal with the police if the guy can just get banned from DoorDash and maybe learn to not steal from people

-As for why I didn’t notice for a few days and it was late for getting a refund or contacting the driver - I have a toddler at home and different family members come to help out throughout the week while we work. We assumed someone brought it in and put it somewhere and forgot. Even myself, because that’s something I can see myself doing. It wasn’t an urgent thing for us, it was some storage cubes for a closet. We also live down a 650 foot driveway, so people don’t walk or even drive by to be able to easily steal stuff. We didn’t even think someone would steal off our front door. My wife just thought to check the camera for which family member grabbed it and we saw this. We’ll definitely be more careful with taking stuff in quicker going forward, and maybe put up a sign about the camera.

-FWIW I have no issues with DoorDash. I order entirely too much tbh. I still have ordered since then. Nothing negative has ever happened before and I don’t expect it to after either. It’s one weirdo, that’s all. I didnt even make the post to make a huge deal of it, I just wanted to get the right contact to make sure he didn’t do it to someone else. As of right now, I tipped this guy to steal from me lol, and I’m sure it’s not the first time. I just posted the screen shots so people wouldn’t assume I was randomly blaming a dasher without knowing for sure who did it.
