Okay, so me and my girlfriend have a very viable business idea. The business will operate in cyber space 95% of the time, which means it will need a website.
We can't use shopify for this specific business model. Luckily, she's a computer science graduate well capable of building a custom website for our needs.
She gave me an estimate: 2 months of development. As I'm useless at computer science & she specialises in it, it makes sense for me to focus on other things whilst it's being built.
This is my problem, what exactly do I do in this time span to avoid action faking? We won't apply for an LLC, trademark or create a logo etc. Until we're sure the model works (people are buying).
I don't want to sit around drawing graphs or thinking of 100 different business names. With the model we chose, it's tough for me to play a major part until we have a working MVP we can test. Then, I can market & all that good stuff. I like movement, so I truly want to be productive in this time frame without meandering around useless documents & domain markets.
Am I missing something? I'm fresh in the game and understand I have a LOT to learn, so please offer me some wisdom
