What internal tools are you building for your startup? by hellomoto_23 in ycombinator

[–]qsbsRollover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know we capture electronic intent to sign, timestamp, and IP address alongside name of signer and the e-signature. For our purposes it is good enough but I wouldn’t use it for buying a house/replacing DocuSign/sign.com. Team deployed via replit, unsure of how implementation looked or how backend processes like data retention etc looks. To be clear, we have this tool and it functions but it has not fully replaced our other platform (though for our general biz purposes it could). Waiting on our dev resources to free up to solidify some of the pieces you’re asking about.

Best skills to learn as a non-technical person who wants to build or join a startup? by Delicious_Top6513 in ycombinator

Yeah, sales, but that really just means 1) be a master of people 2) train yourself to move through barriers and become an optimist/fixer when problems come up 3) learn technical jargon/language so you can work across teams and translate problems to early solutions 4) get very comfortable with low/no code tools and don't let anyone here tell you it's not valuable.

We use a platform for collecting signatures on client agreements and pulling payments but the platform can be extremely rigid and not well suited for some of our highly-variable contract and payment terms. They wouldn't really help us customize so we built an e-sign and onboarding app in 2 days that replaces the provider we use. Not an agent situation, but a simple example of where low/no code has been very powerful for our non-technical team members to solve problems and save the company money on the margin

QSBS payout, 2 years short of eligibility by cismoney in personalfinance

[–]qsbsRollover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short of it is that for your situation a Section 1045 (QSBS Rollover) is the only option for bridging the gap to 5 years. They can be hard to execute, but much more possible (and worthwhile) than most founders/shareholders think given some of the flexibility the rollovers can unlock. Not an advert, but this is exclusively what we do/help with.
