- Don't think there is a cheaper alternative to stripe. Polar and Dodo is 4% + 40¢

- Regarding equity, I was set on this being a bootstrapped business, so I offered 8% at 50h/week over 2 years, vested monthly (unconventional ik). And a few extra % if they stayed 2 years (depends on how many remain). I didn't require full-time, and allowed 20h/week, and equity was proportional to time put in. My stake would was 16%.
I eventually hired 3 full time devs offshore after realizing almost no one has the risk appetite. $500/mo avg. 2 were duds who I removed after a month each, but the last one was great. Learned my hiring lessons.
Consulting would have been difficult because I spent day and night on the startup.
Letting people work 1/2 time on my project and consult the other is smart. I would just have to secure the clients. I will consider that in the future.
I gave people the option to work 20-50h/week, but no one took up that offer. The only people who joined were 5 people: - 3 friends I knew from online and did projects with before. - 1 person I met from reddit and also a unemployed 2024 grad (but she was still money hungry, left 2mo after while being only part-time). - 1 person from YC combinator. Great guy and former founder, but he had to leave 3w in due to a lawsuit abroad.
- Some thoughts that brewed from my experience doing a bootstrapped legaltech startup for 7mo the past year.

- Why do you ask for at least 5yoe? How is 3 significantly differnt? Why not 7?
- 6 months back, you guys rejected me in a day, with no feedback.
- Thanks! will keep that in mind
- software/product engineer. I'm also open to being a product manager.
Startup will go into life support on mid feb after MVP launch. Word of mouth takes a lot of time to grow, so growth is a slow burn.
I haven't been able to write code at my startup for most of my time here. It's split between reviewing code, sales, or product work. I do mention some technical work, but I'm wearing many hats, so it's a bit hard to show mainly technical exp.

- On second thought, I don't know what you mean. What are you arguing? All keyboards are the same?
- Same here. Reddit exists for posts like these. I look forward to the day this place becomes tech only. Or another place similar.
- Can you show these evidence
- Loved that message. Should be taught to everyone who begins learns programming.
