  • So I run a dev company, and my wife is a psychologist. Ndas are fine. No one wants to steal your idea. Most devs have a stack of them they don’t have time to do. I’m certainly in that camp.

    As for finding someone to work on equity, this gets tough. Most devs get this pitched at least twice a week. I’m usually approached and offered 20-30% if we build the product. The problem is the idea person seldom brings anything else to the table.

    My go-to example is this, here is a billion dollar idea yours for free. It’s an electric car, it charges to 80% in 5 minutes and has a 1000 mile range. The problem is I don’t know how to build a car and am not sure I’d it’s possible due to physics. I also have no contacts in my network for manufacturing. But it is a great idea.







  • At a certain point/size you will want to look into an ERP. They are designed for a one stop shop so to speak. They also tend to be customizable but they are expensive. There is unfortunately a gap in the market between a bunch SAAS providers that you can cobble together for small business and then there are the enterprise level solutions. Not a whole lot in the middle.

    So I’ve worked in it for 20+ years. There is no single data point attached to you. You can track users based on ip address, cookies, logins, session variables, and a whole lot of other things. There is no single point that attaches to a person. Hand your phone to the person next to you,the phone isn’t magically going to know its not you searching. Or install a new browser and connect to a public wifi, it will also have no idea who you are.





  • During a recession people cut back on what they view as unnecessary expenses. If you believe a recession is on the horizon, ask yourself how needed to microgreens? If people cut back on dining, restaurants will cut back on costs. I think microgreens has to be one thing that could go pretty quick. Much faster than say their beef supplier for example. Good luck.

    Not a lawyer,

    Most of the time those clauses are designed to not allow you to run a retail operation with people coming and going. An online business is probably fine in that, it would still theoretically be a violation of the lease but mostly would not be enforced. This is of course at the landlords discretion.

    The low hanging fruit would be just open up a private practice. You could specialize in stomach and liver cancer it would be a nice synergy for your disciplines. Consulting would be the next thing. Plenty of medical startups need a doctor on board for regulatory type things. You could look into your local startup community. Next there are some angel investor groups you could join (assuming you have capital to invest) into businesses.

    Be careful. I worked in a school district many years ago (20+). They built a new building and was going to sell off the old k-4 building. Problem was upon inspection they found a ton of asbestos. Cleanup was going to be more than the building was worth. I’m pretty sure it’s still empty.
