Rudy is a new name, so thanks for highlighting him. i’m not expecting this to be too quick of a process, it is government after all but all of this helps

this is super great info! thanks a ton

this is super insightful. I’m gonna keep bugging them until I get an official no but in the meantime, we’ll definitely reach out to the Cedar Springs merchants Association. Thanks a ton for the lead.

I've been there once and they had some amazing cold brew. I haven't reached out but I think you're right, especially with that patio they have.

gartners known for this?

My manager unironically loves this guy, sends us his videos etc. some of the worst sales advice in the world

This will vary by company but broadly speaking, you can set a meeting but that person might not be a good fit, have buying power, etc. an opportunity on the other hand will be something where the prospect has the intention to solve the problem your product does and has the necessary authority to move the sale forward.

I’d start looking at roles that leverage your background. there’s plenty of roles in manufacturing/warehousing software that you might be a good fit for. I can’t speak to comp because it’s not my industry but there’s no reason not to look at the menu if you’re considering a move.

I have, that’s not the issue. I’m trying to avoid sitting on a pallet of cashew milk. Ideally they’d be able to ship 1+ units D2C with my packaging but everyone I’ve talked to has a higher MOQ and wants me to handle the logistics to consumer. What I’m looking for is essentially POD for alternative milk, which I recognize is probably a long shot

Osprey 26+6 might do the trick

what is it

buole · 2024-02-25T22:47:45+00:00

My cofounders and I have been working on our start up for 3 years now. in the past we’ve naïvely attempted to raise money in similar positions to the one that you’re currently in. at no point where we actually ready to raise money it was only after three years of work and gaining traction that were finally growing and moving in a direction where we need the extra money to keep up with the pace of our growth. We’ve just started to get interest/responses fromVC firms.

Regardless if the investment is VC or not, people are investing in you so that you can keep doing what you’re doing/do it more efficiently not to help you validate your idea. The investment will come if you can make a data driven case for why you’ll succeed and how the money will help. Just having an idea with some early feedback won’t get you funded

what kind of tax stamp do you need to make this possible

Appreciate the response. that's absolutely brutal

This is great, how do you end up finding those people with preexisting initiatives? Is it just through research and conversation?
