How can I use Indiegogo or presales to test a concept before registering an LLC?

If you are in USA, I would create a legal entity in Delaware for example and go on with the crowdfunding campaign. For what i know Amazon is doing some kind of pretesting and during that just spread the word to some great book groups or go flyering to NYC libraries.

Engage your leads and create momentum for your book. you could also do some website and performing some A/B testing in order to understand what the customer is looking with some help of some SEO. After you get an impression and you go crowdfunding. Taxes dependes if you are doing the earning for yourselves or on a funded entity. You can just sell you book though Amazon and file on your earning afterwards :)

Is learning SAP Business One helpful in running my own online business of Supply Chain Management services?

Dear SCM User,
With SAP SCM if you know how it works, you could rise customer expectations, run increasingly complex supply networks, and achieve faster-than-fast responsiveness . The solution cover everything from demand planning to inventory management and use technologies such as the Internet of Things, RFID, and advanced analytics to help you run a real-time supply chain.

If you are a noob in supply chain and mainly order I recommend you to do some crash courses provided my Udemy/Quora or stackoverflow e.g with focus in supply chain. With SCM software you can run a real-time supply chain but consider that the licences service is pretty expensive if you are consider running an individual business.

Interesting for you could be also combining Sap capabilities with Hybris that is helping a lot for a new e-commerce platform an enhancing your supply chain capabilities services.

Furthermore you can think on a CRM solution too. It depends on your budgeting strategy and how you prioritise your tasks.

Also Business One is a full ERP solution so which package do you really want and need?

Let me know if you need something more. Worked a lot in Product Management i have a deep focus on this matter. Best francesco

Very short Answer experienced Job searcher: Connection! Online portal are b"""t. Just focus on making strangers frieds (working in your dream company) and asking for referrals, that s the corporate world sadly. Regular 10 min Coffee and then next. Never speak about job the first interaction. Always being interested about the matter, product, the dream behind. Let me know if i am resuming enough.

How to request a demo of an enterprise product if applying to the company?

If have an interview already set up: understand the product philosophy before the product himself! No need for sales lists of characteristics. They are not important for a PM position. How your product chain works: concept, design, simulations and sales approach. The entire supply chain from the engineer point of view.

Otherwise if you don't have the interview you can go trow a recruiter but normally you need further sign of NDA or something if is a global company. Let me if appreciate the synthetic answer.

How do you find a BDM to work on full commission?

If you would search me the more effective way is a linked-in message or something telling me that you are interested in how i work and would like to share some of your product information. A BDM should share a passion and that need to aligned with your product. Then you go and asking a full commission BM. I mean, you can always give some guarantee but remember to filter a lot. I would find BD with engineering background with Sales expirience. As I am BDM i would like to be approached like that. Happy to help with some other contact globally

In a highly competitive field, should we continue with our startup or call it quits?

I would differentiate directly with your only 10 competitors. Try to create momentum and spreading the voice. At the end of the day are the connection that matters and how you penetrate faster your target market/industry. If you completely lose the passion about your idea and you don't feel any shared dream of your vision that you want to be part of then leave. But don't multitask businesses, just focus and give you deadlines. Just text me if you need more

What are the risks associated with giving up control of my software platform's source code?

SaaS model are pretty interesting if you consider to give part of your source code. Referring to the risks i would list you some more important one, focused and at the point:
- Assumed your publicly traded company is vers skilled the most users will find it more difficult and less appealing to work with.
- It makes sense for you to use proprietary parts if you can do it in specialist fields maybe.
- If with this decision you are technically giving less Support but more focus that's should be an advantage. Meaning decreasing direct your operational costs
- Cloud software is slightly different than conventional software. As a general rule, you don't get access to the source code, even if the hosted software is built entirely on open source software. That may not make the software proprietary, strictly speaking, but it doesn't give you all the benefits of open source. In that sense, the benefits of using the "pay for what you use" software as a service model may outweigh the disadvantage of not having access to the source code (http://www.cio.com/).

If is not enough get a local lawyer to help you out. Let me know if you need more.

I want to connect to businesses in US and Australian markets for product design and development work. What is the best way to find genuine leads?

First focus on one service you are providing to your target market. In a Product management field, before even to consider to penetrate a new market you need to optimize your daily services. After that US and AU have different way to do Business and lead me to a conclusion that you did't get in deep to understand where to go and your current BM will work in an efficient way. Remeber the competition and where you can differenciate yourselfe too. Consider to create a reputation in a smaller ecosystem like Europe, getting local embassador and then penetrate bigger market. Language is not the biggest challenge here especially in IT project.
The genuine fits you will find only personally and they need to share your vision first before even speaking about working together. Conference networking events with same interest and then Join some San Francisco networking startups event like Brella. Those guys are strong in the area. Let me know if you need some genuine contacts.
