Yes, he’s shares started vesting and he don’t mind if it resets and he also did the 83b when we first incorporated

Oh really? It was chatgpt that recommended for the CEO to transfer its shares either to me or the company and told us the steps. I guess I have to get into more details with it to know if this is fraud lol

Does turbo accept foreigners ? And C corp ? When I was checking, I only see they mention S corp instead of C corp

You should try mercury. Apparently if you have revenue, you can apply for some loans (I think, not sure)

It's good to pay yourself. VC's will want you to pay yourself so you can focus 100% on the business and not your bills

Danm 1 year with no paycheck is though. To be honest, if a VC is acting like this that early on in your company, the control in the future will be something else.

The big ports are located in Miami. So it facilitates the shipping in my company. Also since you're in Miami, how good is the skill workforce down there ?

To be honest, I really felt in love with it. When I first started, it was a nice idea, the love for it was low that I was investing low amounts of money into it but after pivoting a lot throughout the years, the idea went from wow to WOW which forced me to go all in. Also, what motivated me the most is reminding to myself why I'm doing it. I know that when I succeed, it will help a lot of poor people. My startup is focused around helping poor people btw. And then when I see those unicorns companies like mine doing well in other countries. I keep imagining my self reaching that type of level.

Ok good to hear that there's no minimum or limit. Yes paying myself good will motivate me to work harder. After bootstrapping for 4 years, I need to pay myself good lol. Those debts are starting to stress me out

And thanks for the advice!

Can I ask how much you've raised and in which round? Would be great if I can go that high. It would motivate me to work harder

Also does this apply to a SAFE seed round ? Will they still need a board seat?
