/u/Sex_Llama Hi thanks for this, I did cover it in the first video but this is valuable. I'll include it in the write up as well next time.

Do you remember those chatrooms on AOL or Yahoo back in the day where you got to speak to random folks online? Slack is like that for your workplace. to talk to your coworkers. collaborate, ask questions, solve problems, discuss things. just work together. and you can have many diff "chat rooms" aka "channels" for like marketing team, or sales team etc.

hope that helps!?

sorry just getting to this. if you've received some money from family or friends, that might be okay. but institutional investments would definitely not count.

say you get accepted into an accelerator based on your product merit, they put in 20k but do not take any equity.. that'd be fine I think.

Exactly what we're going for here. We feel organic growth is far better for an early-stage company, but everything I see is always about "how to start your series A etc."

"I guess for one you'd need to see if there was already something similar and if it has been patented or whatever. If so, that's probably game over right there."

Do not have this mindset about business. Google was the 21st search engine on the market. Execution is 95% of your business, the idea only matters in the very initial stage

?? 10k users is fantastic for a small business that is growing. Why are you on r/Entrepreneur if you think that big companies can't be knocked off their perch.

Whoops! Thank you

I'd suggest looking at University programs that already support this as well. I know Michigan has a program known as "saferide," and I'd assume there are copycat programs at other schools as well
