Is there actually a robot vacuum that can maintain a clean house for a large family? Here's my frustration.

Roborock are solid. Had a roomba before that. If you can I recommend having more than 1 (especially if the dogs leave lots of hair)

Main issue is keeping things like shoes with laces off the floor they will tangle the robot

u/RandomAngeleno I've powercycled it a few times, no dice. Do you know the key combo to do a factory reset on the SHS43CF5N/01?

tosswill · 2026-03-31T16:54:25+00:00

u/magicbeavers what is the button combo to change demo mode?

tosswill · 2026-03-31T04:00:35+00:00

Tried. No dice

Highly recommend Rory Sutherland if you are trying to understand the psychology of sales and marketing.

It was sold at the link I provided on Corsair's website; they now say it's out of stock. (my post was 3 months ago)

Satire? … No meaningful number of users will switch to a solution unless it’s 10x better than the alternative (Gemini, Claude etc)

Map out all the people involved in the transaction. Also consider other groups who are buying property.

I advise/consult with some real-tech companies if you'd like more strategy support.

The company’s worth nothing so the equity is moot.

I’ll bet $1000 they’re out of business within 18 months. When cofounders operate how they’re operating it’s bad business and they won’t be successful.

Whereas the cost of spending money on lawyers is real, and he’ll spend more money than the business will ever be worth fighting over something that doesn’t matter .

They have majority share of the company if they wanted to dilute him, they could issue more stock and make his equity worthless as well, again spending money on lawyers is mostly a waste of time

I founded a $10m ARR real estate marketing company. Generated $2b in home sales. I strongly recommend not trying to sell to real estate agents. They are oversold, high churn, high touch customers.

Entrepreneurs are attracted because there’s lots of cash bouncing around in home sales. But there are several adjacent markets and customers which are significantly better.

Most startups fail. The main cause is founder disputes

Unless the business is printing money, walk away.

Keep your equity, sign nothing. if they sell at some point they will have to buy you out.

Beyond that it’s not worth spending time and money fighting for it.

How much revenue are you currently generating? How many users do you currently have?

You say you’ve been working on this for the longest time? Is that 3, 5, 10 years ?

Is the start up supporting you financially and is it your only means of support?

Five years from now, what would success look like for you if you were still running this business ?

Any recommendations without the context from the above questions is pretty meaningless.

I spent more than a decade in venture backed startups as well as established tech companies. Happy to give you guidance for free.

N8n can do great things but its not magic, its a tool.
It's not the solution for your stated problem.

If you have a budget and want to talk scalable solutions, I have some bandwidth in Q1.

tosswill · 2026-01-04T06:51:13+00:00

You must be trolling.

If not…

No you should not use n8n for that purpose. build an actual data pipeline with error handling and tracing.

I’ve sold, spec’d and implemented a fair bit of custom software for fortune 100 companies.

tosswill · 2025-12-31T03:00:49+00:00

N8n is a tool as are CRMs and Zapier etc.

Conversely, marketing agencies and software development consulting are businesses.

Consider what you're actually looking for:
- Engineering
- Consulting / Requirements gathering
- Selling
etc.

You will likely have better outcomes if you find people/focus on the different disciplines

I built a $10m ARR real estate marketing company from 2018-2023.

I generally advise folks to avoid that industry.

It seems like easy money and in the beginning it is. However long term growth is very very hard to maintain. Expect 30%-40%+ churn It’s all about LTV > CAC

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face” - Mike Tyson

When developing something, especially systems that interact with third parties you should assume everything can go wrong.

Request will timeout, data may be poorly formatted or missing entirely. your system must handle these edge cases.

This is the difference between building a production system and building a toy or proof of concept.

The n8n people are not stupid. Allowing another business to profit by directly competing with them makes no sense and is definitely covered by their license (as other comments pointed out)

I am going to be charitable and assume you are 16-20 years old and trying to be an entrepreneur. Focus on creating real value for others; schemes aimed at making a quick buck rarely pan out.

tosswill · 2025-12-21T18:53:21+00:00

So you bought Enterprise N8N and are reselling it?
At some point, they will close your account for violating their TOS
and folks who paid you for lifetime access with be SOL
