I am a self-taught enthusiast with no formal qualifications, but has managed to score some awesome jobs over the last 3 years.

Jun 16	comment	Need simple pre-launch website to attract mgmt. team, investors, and co-marketing alliances I second Themeforest. They not only have Wordpress themes, but also sell landing pages and coming soon pages for this very thing.
Jun 14	comment	Redirect user for payment or let them stay on your site? @Investigator, not to mention if your money is stolen, third party payment providers like Paypal have some kind of protection up to a specific amount of which they will refund in suspicious circumstances, but so too will banks.

Jun 6	comment	What are the best ways of advertising a new green-technology product to angel investors It applies to Angel Investors as well. Without proof the startup works and people will use it, nobody will invest anything.
Jun 5	awarded	Nice Answer
Jun 3	comment	How to go ROWE (result only work environment)? This is Agile/Scrum right? Iterations and whatnot? Works well for large teams, I worked at a company of about 25 people and it worked flawlessly for getting stuff done. Eventually you can predict how many hours a team can do in a 2 week iteration very closely.

May 25	comment	I have a startup that is almost ready and I'm finding it hard to get companies on board, what can I do? As I pointed out below Tim, speaking to my potential customers has proven to be difficult. I'm in Australia, most of my target market is US and simply pencilling in a meeting and walking into their offices is out of the question, otherwise I would have just done that first.
May 25	comment	I have a startup that is almost ready and I'm finding it hard to get companies on board, what can I do? I spoke to a couple of people I'd consider mentors and they both agree that because a lot of the major companies enlist legal firms to litigate and remove content, that going to the actual legal firms is a genius idea. Thanks Lisa.

May 25	comment	I have a startup that is almost ready and I'm finding it hard to get companies on board, what can I do? But the thing is if people will pay for the service has yet to be determined. I know what you're trying to say Tim, but some ideas you just have to run with even if you haven't asked your target market to use it. To date the project has cost me $10 for the domain, hosting is cheap and nothing else but my time so I have nothing to lose by not surveying prospects first.
May 25	comment	I have a startup that is almost ready and I'm finding it hard to get companies on board, what can I do? Haha, thanks Kenneth. I think I will do, although Fosters is not a beer I'm a fan of, so I might crack open an Dos Equis XX instead ;)

May 25	comment	I have a startup that is almost ready and I'm finding it hard to get companies on board, what can I do? Ran out of space. Another reason for not asking companies first is because an idea is worthless, it's the execution that matters. I could have gone, yeah it's going to do this and be great and they would have gone, awesome where is it? I've got 90% of the execution there, I think the real issue here is that I'm not selling the product properly via email. Being in Australia makes things hard, not many major software companies here.
