    Projecting customer acquisition cost for a new idea

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Hello everyone, I have an idea that I’ve been fleshing out that I think has potential. I’m being intentionally vague, but it would help people make new friends in a unique way. I think there is a strong need for this in the modern world, and I think I’ve come up with a unique solution that...

    Got my PhD, now what? My introduction

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the clarification. Let me paint a clearer picture of my rationale: Mass layoffs introduced many hundreds of scientists to the job market, all of whom already had industry job experience. At the same time, new hiring slowed to almost zero. It is much harder to value-skew a resume...

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the comment! I am indeed working to settle on an idea to execute within 30 days. I've already come up with a short list, and I plan to keep adding to it and giving myself a hard deadline to choose one and start working on it. I don't think I quite understand this last paragraph of...

    Thanks for the response and encouragement, MJ. Honestly, I'm sure I could find a decent job at some point, either in biotech or a different field, but that's just not the path I want to go. Looking forward to creating some real value!

    That's awesome for your uncle, and quite relatable. If I had to pick a "passion" business right now, it would either be a wine shop or an Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, as MJ has often pointed out, no one cares what my passion is, and it seems quite hard to make money in either of those...

    Got my PhD, now what? My introduction

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the comment! That's a good question, and honestly, I'm not even sure anymore. I've always been in cancer pharmacology / drug discovery, but I can't say I have much motivation to continue. It seems to me that science / R&D is just not a good way to make money, since it's so slow to...

    Got my PhD, now what? My introduction

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the comment! Honestly, what you've suggested was basically my original intention before starting my PhD. I've come to realize, though, that to get on the board of a startup like that you almost invariably need decades of experience and a very impressive CV. I could join a startup as...

    Got my PhD, now what? My introduction

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the comment! I have thought about solving some pain point I experience in my work, but most of them I have thought of involve complex scientific instruments that would be very expensive to make a better version of. I'll keep an open mind and keep exploring though.

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the comment! I like your e-commerce suggestion, it is definitely true that people are starting to look for healthier alternatives to many everyday products. Obviously I would have to be careful to not make any health claims, but it definitely merits further investigation on my part.

    INTRO 
    After years of hard work, I finally achieved my PhD last August. My area of expertise is in elucidating cancer-driving mechanisms and discovering novel therapeutic strategies to target them. I am now working at one of the top universities in the world in this field, using CRISPR, stem cells, and...

    27 Year Old Student. Hey.

    INTRO 
    Hey @ambient walrus , I am actually going to be finishing my undergrad in Biochemistry in Spring and I am planning on doing my Ph.D. so I can work in pharma industry as a "backup" to entrepreneurship. I was wondering how you feel about doing your Ph.D. now that you are on the other side of it...
