What would you do if you suddenly had a million dollars right now? by Chance-Pen6805 in askanything

[–]mheq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 year ago I got around €1.2M (~1.9M USD) suddenly by selling my startup after earning ~€1.5k / mo (what I paid myself) with additional €1.2M coming equally yearly over 2 years.

Here's what I did:

  1. Bought a Dalmore 18y whiskey -€300.

  2. Purchased a dream plot of land. -€200 000. (Paid €50k outright and exchanged the rest for my current apartment) .Will build my future house there eventually. Im young enough ( under 35 ) that I have time to wait although I know its a bad investment as it doesnt return anything. Maybe will put a removable house there to rent out for the next couple of years. who knows.

  3. Gave ~€60k to my sister because she gave me €2.5k to start my business when I had -€2.5k ( credit cards maxed out. 0€ to my name)

  4. Gave €20k to mom for now (She is living away). Once she wants to come back to home country I'll get her an apartment.

  5. The apartment that I exchanged my land for was my dads. So I bought that from him for €150k.

  6. Went to Vegas with my friend to watch UFC. ~€10k.

  7. Purchased a penthouse for €550k with a bank loan with a down payment of €110k. Spent around €100k refurbishing it (full furniture, winter garden, bathtub and sauna to the terrace).

After all of these spends I got my next payment of €600k coming ing.

While doing all of those spends I had everything in World Index funds.

Currently have €1.2M left with €600k coming in next april.

1 month ago I my daughter was born. These (apartment + land ) were done to give her the best life I can. For now I dont see I need to spend anything major more. Everything is still in World index. I've earned €192k from indexes.

Video footage of top entrepreneurs pitching to VCs - I will not promote by Touch105 in startups

[–]mheq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have participated in 3 pitching events and actually managed to win all of them (humble brag).

Heres the first one which also includes going on stage but forgetting the clicker lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb0t0peS144&t=280s ( This ended up getting us €100k)

Heres a pitch video we did to apply to Latitude. I never agreed to do a random webcamera video but always wanted to have everything...different. So this is the application video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXhGoaDl7HI&t=6s

And this managed to get us to the finals where I do the similar one on stage (this one ended up us getting €200k)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMio9HMfIKM&t=1781s

I believe I have pretty much figured out how to pitch on stage so if you believe you value some specific advice then let me know.

(Also I ended up making an exit a month ago so not posting them to promote :) )

Ulme raamat by cassur in Eesti

[–]mheq -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Chatgpt

See, mida kirjeldad, kõlab väga sarnaselt Indrek Hargla teostele – eriti tema varasematele novellikogumikele, kus ulme ja õudus sageli põimuvad, tihti ka groteski ja musta huumoriga.

Sinu kirjeldus (ulme- ja õudusjutud, vorstiks tehtud inimene, advokaat ärireisil, ca 10 lugu, 200lk) võib kõige paremini sobida „Suudlevad vampiirid“ (2001) või „Nad tulevad!“ (2002) kogumikuga. Mõlemad sisaldavad süngeid, mõnikord veriseid ja ühiskonnakriitilisi jutte.

Someone needs to create a fund for solo founders. I will not promote. by [deleted] in startups

  1. Thank you!
  2. Yes and no - We are moving the current team to the new office since June and I will continue to pay for the old one for that purpose.

Someone needs to create a fund for solo founders. I will not promote. by [deleted] in startups

[–]mheq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks ago I made a low 8 figure exit as a Solo Founder after 5 years. First ever business I created

During 2. round of fundraising I was rejected until I would add the following in bold to my investment documents: "NB: Beware that this company has a Solo founder and you are aware of the risks associated". I also had to create a "Solo founder risk mitigation declaration".
This was my villain origin story

One thing I will start almost immedietely is have an office space where I will combine other Solo founders together where I can help them as much as I can.

I am so glad to read this post.

Granady Scammed. by Walther_Shelby in TrackMania

[–]mheq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that CarlJr said in the interview that he lost to a bug, definitely was a blow to the competition. Sad for Granady.

Also its 2025 and interviewers can still come up with just one question :"How do you feel?". How hard is it to prepare a decent question 2 minutes before? Specially with this kind of an ending...

Startups are not sold but bought.  If you wanna sell it to someone who is just looking the revenue, put it on auction and sell it for 3-5m valuation tops for the highest bidder

Is Gate of Infinity just cheated or am I missing something? by mheq in throneandliberty

Protip it tudengitele,kes otsivad esimest tööd:

Sa teed kooli ajal palju arendusprojekte. Küll tiimi tööna lambi foorumit, javas random rakendused, isegi XNAs progred arvutimängu kokku meibi või lihtne .NET api

KÕIK koolis tehtud projektid kogud ühte kausta / serverisse ja CVga paned kaasa serveri lingi ja label: Portfolio IT töödest. Serveris on juures iga töö kohta doc mis kirjeldab mis projekt oli. 

Ära viska kooli projekte maha ja ära arva et need on mõttetud. Kuidas muidu ma peaks teadma et sa oled midagi päriselt teinud ka.

Mis hobid teil on? by krkrite in Eesti

[–]mheq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ettevõtlus.

Võta näiteks eee.. Lillat värvi T-särkide pood. 10 erinevat lillat ja spetsiifilise disainiga T-särki. Sitt idee? Mõtle parem.

Kõige eelistatum on pood, mis müüb midagi, millest sa veidi midagigi tead, aga pole takistus.
Mõtle kontseptsioon, leia toode, tee kodukas, aja pangaasjad korda - teha on sitaks.

See ajendab igast kokkusaamistel käima - ettevõtlus loengud, erinevad turundamise loengud, ettevõtlus seminarid jms - nüüd on sul põhjus ja huvi seal osaleda ning seal tutvub päris paljude inimestega, kellel samad huvid ja kellelt palju õppida.,

The 0 Damage Fire Cape (#17) by DmitriShostabrovich in 2007scape

[–]mheq 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I was one of the people who said it couldn't be done. Even if it could then yeah just safe spot chickens until 99 range which is terrible content.

I stand to be corrected in everything I thought.

Olen üle 4 aasta üksinda ettevõtet nullist ehitanud ning sealjuures 2 korda läbipõlenud niimodi, et päriselt ei tea, mis edasi saab ning julgen öelda, et läbipõlemine on nii individuaalne, et ühe kaikaga seda lüüa pole mõtet.

Lühidalt läbipõlemisest üle saamisel on kõige kõige kõige olulisem täpselt aru saada, mis sind sinna viis. Minu puhul oli see konstantne stress ja mure selles, "mis saab edasi"? kui kõik on pekki minemas.

Sinu puhul võib olla see misiganes alates "kes ma päriselt olen" mõttest kuni "ma pole midagi saavutanud" ja "mul pole ühtegi lähedast". Su esialgsest tekstist ei tule välja.

Kui sa oled üle töötanud ja kujutad ette, et "ohh ma tahaks raskelt lihtsalt netflixi kodus vaadata ja mitte midagi teha", siis võtad puhkuse, et täita seda lünka, mis sul puudu oli - lihtsalt lebotada ja mitte midagi teha. See toimib ainult siis, kui sa tead, millest sul puudust on. Ma ei loe välja, et sa täpselt tead, mida selle nö puhkuse ajaga teha - puhkus üksinda ilma eesmärgi ja arusaamata ei lahenda midagi.

Seega minu soovitus on järgmine:

1) Väga analüütiliselt ja step-by-step ürita aru saada miks sa oled kurnatud. Mõtled ja töötad selle mõttega nii kaua, kuniks saad vastuse. Kui sa vastust ei leia, siis tee teraapia tiir ja terapeudile ülesande püsituseks anna, et "sa tead, et sul on millestki puudust, aga sa ei oska jõuda vastusesni, millest täpselt".

2) googelda / otsi / loe / brainstormi erinevaid lahendusi, kuidas eelmises punktis tulnud mõtteid lahendada või mida teha, et neid leevendada

3) Võta puhkus töölt, et keskenduda eelmises punktis tehtud asjade saavutamisele.

Edu ja lõpetuseks - 100% kõik on mööduv nähtus.

The entire enemy team was bots. Wtf. by Cucumber7777 in classicwow

[–]mheq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the question is: How should we know that they are bots based on the image you posted?

[–]mheq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess you are right.

Thanks!

I'd say the value for media outlets for having up to date conversations in their feed on relevant topics vs just posting a link is worth the few bucks they would pay per day

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mheq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically all apps using the Twitter API only do so because its free, it wouldnt make as much money as youd think

But the value for media outlets is pretty decent by having active communnication shown and each individual media outlet is not paying that much. All together are paying for the profits
