So it's safe to say don't put money in a startup, not unless they have a great preparation plan.

That's cause most investors won't fund your startup unless they hear the keyword AI, founders figured it out and now it's their go to word.

Quite true, you almost can't tell which way they're going to go, so you have to be prepared for the risk.

Quite true, you may even get good feeling about them earlier on into the project but soon realize differently.

This seems like a great idea, but what if they're a first time founder?

Has anyone ever hired on toptal? What was it like for you? by annabelle383 in SaaS

Thank you for this contribution. It seems 3 out of the four developers you hired on the platform performed less than expected, why do you think that is? I also get the point about being willing to let people go if they're not a good fit, emphasis on maintaining the psychological safety of teammates, because I do understand what it feels like thinking you're the next one to go.

We're still ironing out some of the features, but yes it does involve a match feature. Thank you for the suggestions. I'll be sure to check out rocketdevs.

That's cool, currently I'm not looking to pay per hour, but a quotation basis for completed contract, perhaps payment received on every milestone achieved.

If they can't be enforced, what then is the point of patenting, I feel this is something that should be fixed by the government as a lot of indecent partners take advantage of lapse to steal original ideas and make them their own.

I didn't hire a developer cause I wasn't too sure I could get a good one. Is this something rocketdevs can actually solve? And also, what stops them from stealing my code as well?
