    Finding clients before forming a company

    Legal entity brings expenses, so yes, start with a few successful deals first. If you are worried about taxes, check your local laws as most countries offer you a "grace period". This is usually (AFAIK) 6-12 months in which you can work without a legal entity and when you do form it, you can...

    Initial fund for a B2G AI Startup

    I'm late to this post but ok Algorithms are fancy and all but usually don't take that much work - i've been involved with a couple lately. I don't know what your algorithm is about so i don't know the process of developing it. But in general you need a physicist (or whatever other field...

    Excessive adrenaline

    HEALTH 
    Hi I was wondering if you have any personal methods of getting rid of excessive adrenaline? I'm having way too much - causing me heart palpitations (it's really just from too much adrenaline), so really need to decrease it. I tried meditating but that only helps while i'm meditating then...

    Do we need to trade fiat for gold ASAP?

    INVESTING 
    Thank you for the replies. Actually i'm not worried about a full market breakdown (if it happens i can't do much about it anyway), but about devaluation of fiat. As if another big devaluation is coming i'm better off spending my cash on assets before it looses value. I'm about to invest anyway...

    Do we need to trade fiat for gold ASAP?

    INVESTING 
    Lately i keep hearing and reading how presumably reach people are warning about an imminent market collapse. Some have even said there is a likely date on which it will happen - i hear something about 2nd October. This all sounds like a major pile of guano to me, but i would hate to...

    Burn Those F*cking Boats!

    MINDSET 
    No, the phrase dates back at least to ancient Greece. How about 'burn the bridge behind you', it has the same meaning and we can couple it with 'we will cross that bridge when we come to it'. Anyway, burning stuff for the sake of it seems a bit stupid. You never know what you will need 10...

    Should I give entrepreneurship a break for a while?

    MINDSET 
    I have been at this for... oh too many years (10-ish since i started trying to make money)... I started out with the most hardcore slow-lane mentality you can imagine. It was only last year that i started seeing results from it. But my inexperience in some matters caused me to flaunt a great...

    How to Look more Professional !

    PEOPLE 
    We often hear how first impressions matter... unfortunately there is a lot of truth in that. You can be smarter than Einstein but if you look like him on some of his pictures people won't listen to you at all. Go wrong with appearance and you might need weeks of hard work for your character to...

    Outsourcing in Fiverr.com for foreign CAD engineers and designers

    SOURCING 
    Well if you intend to make a business from this it seems you need the commercial use license. I can't know for sure though as i never worked through Fiverr, only through Elance. If you relay on what Fiverrs policy states at the moment, how will you prove your rights somewhere down the line (if...

    Outsourcing in Fiverr.com for foreign CAD engineers and designers

    SOURCING 
    Doing slight dimensional changes does not make the model/product your own - it is just a modification, even worse, it is a modification without the owners approval. Make them sign an NDA and WFH to ensure all belongs to you, just don't think that NDA's can't be bypassed if your designer sees an...

    Quality Stainless Steel Manufacturers

    China?! Maybe it's just what i've seen lately, but i wouldn't go to china for steel parts... Oh wait... Exactly what i'm doing at the moment :headbanger: OP, Look, i don't know what your application is, but if it requires accuracy and low volumes you won't get far. On the other hand If you can...

    Quality Stainless Steel Manufacturers

    You are looking for stainless steel 'fabricators', i think (SS manufacturers are those which actually produce the material). Maybe even sheet-metal workers? USA thing - you can get it in USA, but just as well in EU. You might want to find a company which does more than just manufacture parts...

    Going "All In"

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Whenever i say something like that i'm accused of bravado... Or of being foolish. But why foolish? Honestly, once you learn that money can be earned (and how) you know you can always get it back if you lose it this time around. P.S.: bravado didn't always have a negative meaning...

    Am I the only one? (Physical product invention)

    HOT! 
    For manufacturing drawings i'm not sure what program you already use, but you need something like AutoCad. Look up DraftSight, it's free and well suited to your needs. I think you can also easily find dxf/dwg drawing templates (layouts) for it. Glass and plastic are somewhat similar but...

    Am I the only one? (Physical product invention)

    HOT! 
    @350z : You don't need to be an artist. Actually i could almost say you mustn't be an artist, because usually it is very difficult to work with artists and people who consider their product to be a ''work of art''. Hence very few people will bother to even try to work with you. What you need...

    Am I the only one? (Physical product invention)

    HOT! 
    Don't spend all that money on the prototype yet. Those things can be pretty expensive. Do you have a 3-D model (digital) and manufacturing drawings? If the answer is 'no' on the drawings those are needed first. 3-D (digital) model is often not mandatory at all. Are you approaching companies...

    The dreaded patents

    Every now and then we see questions about patents here, but get few answers. Today i have been checking if a patent exists for what i'm attempting, and found the following site useful: http://www.bpmlegal.com/howtoterm.html It gives explanations on patent duration and references this site for...

    Something about patents, and how it works.

    Maybe it's not patented. Maybe it's just different enough to avoid the patent. Maybe the patent expired. Maybe both companies are paying a fee to the same patent holder. Or maybe both companies so far managed to fly under the radar. Google Patents, but they seem to accept just about anything...
