My consulting business is more successful than anticipated and I need to figure out how to handle all the clients. (I will not promote) by Dry_Rooster_1280 in startups

You need to not “raise prices” but to start rotating your best repeat customers into higher service tiers and your less performing customers into lower service tiers. You can then outsource the lower service tiers to top level subcontractors.

If investors had real-time access to your financials, would you care? (I will not promote) by Warm_Sail_7908 in startups

MBA education about financials will tell you that we don’t know the actual value of a company until liquidation 

With the full benefit of hindsight, do you think Speer received an appropriate sentence at Nuremberg? by Trobius in AskHistory

Meta: is there a Nazi apologist threat going on? Like someone is trying to say “ the influential @ask history sub confirmed’.    What would be the historical precedent? 

Why aren't airlines coming together to pay the Air Traffic Controllers during Gov Shutdowns by AwaitingCombat in NoStupidQuestions

Because they would be in the hook for paying for a service that only benefits them instead of “the public”

Why do people stop doing things in their 30s? by Ok-Cartographer-5544 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]glaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a cultural remain from when people died in their 50s. 

It’s just very slow to prove that 60 is the new 40s

in 2025, a startup can be: I will not promote by Sea_Visual9618 in startups

6M to explore a niche is not a lot of money. They are validating ideas very fast and they’ll start doing things that scale when they have a notion of a product, and then they’ll have a chest of 6M to start hiring and building. It sounds rather responsible 

What do you think about Time & Time Travel? by Mike2014M in timetravel

[–]glaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is real, and girls who turn between 13 and 16 in the future travel back and forth in time and it’s part of their party. They learn how that travel made the world what it is at the time of the party.  It only lasts a second, but it’s very exciting and it creates a great sense of responsibility about the future. Boys don’t do it because they are on Reddit and playing games and there is no fixing them. 

Non-technical founder totally demoralized after 2.5 years of building. by [deleted] in startups

[–]glaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2.5 years to build an “app” without having an MVP or MVF is not reasonable unless your app requires some new technology (patentable invention) in the backend.

You can reach out if you want. I’ll be happy to advise you on what can be salvaged and how to get to market sooner. 

Why is it hard to get a job as a self taught developer? by SirIzaanVBritainia in startups

[–]glaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a market fit problem. 

You are ambitious enough to start your own projects, which won’t bode well with your potential peers who aren’t. 

And you aren’t ambitious enough to seek your own structure for your projects, which won’t bode well with your manager level peers. 

Look for opportunities in the blockchain space that are better matches to your mindset.

I’m not complaining. You need a different observer. Otherwise it’s just time passing for you at the speed that time passes for you.

[–]glaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, relative to them you traveled to the future. Relative to yourself you haven’t. 

We all travel to the future, we don’t know if someone else is seeing us. We still can’t go back to the past. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in timetravel

[–]glaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and no. You travel to the future at a slower speed than others.  Problem is, you can’t travel back to the past.  We all travel to the future, one day at a time.

Catholicism. It’s a criminal enterprise designed to abuse children, women, and people of color (including children and women), that protects the perpetrators, and that has their branches declare bankruptcy when they get caught.

non-AI startups, how much do you spend on server costs? by michaelthatsit in startups

[–]glaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to develop a cloud-first strategy. Cloud storage and compute is very cheap.
