    Why do SO MANY startups fail?

    HOT! 
    Have you read Zero to One by Peter Thiel? He said the exact same thing. There's no point in trying to figure out what went wrong because there are probably many things that contributed to failure and you can't pick one above all the others.

    To be (a dick) or not to be (a dick)

    I have something a little similar. There's another app that competes with mine which uses a company's name and I doubt that they have permission to use it. I thought about reporting it to that company to try and eliminate a competitor, but I decided it would be too risky as they may come after...

    Beware! Growth-Killing Identity Labels...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I'm also someone who's more introverted. I've had to do a lot of presentations so far in school and I'm less nervous each time. Example: Way back in high school I was volunteering for an organization and we had to introduce ourselves. I was incredibly nervous and that probably showed. Now this...

    Ask Me Anything About App Business (100+ Apps, 10M+ Downloads, 1 Liquidity Event)

    AMA 
    How would you go about getting a developer as a partner? I have an app on the market, but need to split equity since I can't sink anymore money into freelancers at this point as I'm trying to gain users and generate revenue.

    Dream Car Talk

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Oh yeah that was just an air intake. Technically, it's still there but layered in the door. I quite like it. The car looks more streamlined plus so many cars nowadays have some kind of side intake so it's nice to see a different approach.

    You mean the headlight socket? It's an air intake.

    Where to find business partners?

    I'd like to add since I see some parallels here with what I'm currently doing. My app isn't where I want it to be yet and I think in the end I'll need to bring someone onboard as a partner or employee to do the coding. Whether I find a partner on my own or try to get funding and use investors'...

    Living/ Studying Abroad?

    EXECUTION 
    I go to IU which is a top 10 business school in the US and I'm currently spending my summer at the London School of Economics. If you do go to college I'd suggest going to the best one you can. I've met some great friends (one of whom is a successful entrepreneur with what I believe to be a...

    Making the first £1

    EXECUTION 
    I felt the same way when I started marketing. I thought I was going to get ripped apart, but so far (still early days) I haven't. Much of the fear is just in our heads. I've used Upwork as a client. Overall my experience was fine. My dev did a good job in the end, but took much longer than he...

    5 years after coming up with my idea I finally got it released. Rereading my last post in this thread from just before I started college, I have met a number of people who have been helpful with advice and their experiences. If I hadn't met one of my friends I would have had a tougher time...

    My app company

    Figured I'd post an update. I have been talking to three developers and have received an estimate from one so far of $5-6k. He did offer a breakdown so I said sure as I continue to talk to the other two. As another poster said earlier in this thread to think carefully about this because of how...

    My app company

    Thanks :) No unexpected setbacks as far as the app goes. It was around the end of June I believe when I decided to change the company's name and it wasn't until the beginning of September when I finally got the paperwork back saying that it was all done. In that time I had the app description...

    It's been a very long time since I've posted here, but I've posted the job on Elance and I have 50 proposals to go through. It is a little strange now because for so long I've read of other people who are carrying out their plans while I was forming it and then not working on it because of...

    I'm going to give it a try for mine and see how it comes out. Anyone have any recommendations for graphic designers and developers?

    My app company

    Ok I am getting ready to move on with my plan. But first I have some questions. First, for the app description in the app store, how have you guys done this? Have you done it yourself or did you outsource it? If you outsourced it was it to a sort of PR person/company? Secondly, for the...

    Could this name issue cause a problem?

    Ok so when I made my company (LLC) the name started with 001. It all went smooth. However, when going through the process of setting it up with the IRS it would not work. So my dad put two Os (letter) instead of 0s (zeros). While a person may not really care too much if they pay enough attention...

    I've finished the free marketing plan. I think I can definitely net some decent downloads from it. Now to work on the paid part. I think that if I can get a lot of downloads quickly and get it into the Noteworthy section then I can really get a lot of downloads. Secondly, I'm sharing my idea...
