MenuIs there software that can locate specific services via Google and create a spread sheet? Or should I have it done manually?
This is for an App for people in need of services like "Food Banks", "Free Clothing", Shelter.
All other Apps only list What service a Non profit is listed for. Such as a Church would only be listed as a church when they provide many other services.

If you can find what you're looking for by using a Google API service, then the answer is yes.
If you must scrape Google search results, Google is smarter than you or any developer, so will eventually figure out you're scrapping their data + completely block your IP.
https://commoncrawl.org - provides an alternative, as they provide a massive corpus of crawled content from millions of sites... so... if there's no Google API which can provide you the data you're after, consider using the Common Crawl datasets.
Locate services? Google map.. there is also Google My Business... scraping would do.. but in generating spreadsheet.. you can do it manually or maybe using python..
Google Sheets can automatically import data from other websites, and it also includes a form tool, Google Forms, to gather data and save it directly to your spreadsheet. Now, let us try it out by setting up a form to collect lead information from prospective clients. When people click on your link, they can fill out your questions, and the data will be saved to your spreadsheet automatically. First, you will want to add a form to your spreadsheet as a simple way to gather data.

What's the best way to build a MVP web app that handles order management, purchasing, invoicing, supplier management and inventory?
The best way to build an MVP for any SaaS product is to create a landing page that looks like a real product. Here's an example of one I built. http://www.happiily.com In this case, it advertises the primary features of the product and invites people to sign-up. When they do, they are asked for information which qualifies the person and then sends me an email. I built this quickly and very inexpensively and started getting inbound leads from it shortly thereafter. I got on the phone with each person who signed-up and explained the features I wanted to build and was able to do a lot of customer learning based on that. Happy to talk to you in a call if you'd like to talk more about customer development with SaaS products.TW

How should the dynamic between a ux designer and a developer who are working together look like?
It depends a lot of in the skill sets and experience of both people but in most cases the ux designer should be controlling the developer pretty heavily in order to make sure his ideas come through properly. The UX designer may just need to work on his approach so people don't feel bossed around and more like they are working together. In an ideal world, there would be a project manager who makes sure everything is communicated well and keeps the dynamic feeling great.JM

Pitch Decks: What do investors think of comedy in pitch decks?
Instead of calling it "comedy", aim for humor. Humor that supports a key discovery helps to anchor that insight in the investor's mind. I've coached many pitches, and find that when presenters are nervous they try to go for an improvised laugh, thinking it will cut the tension. However, in most situations, it comes off as just that: improvised and cheesy. Which confims to the audience that the presenter is nervous and unsure. Humor an advanced communication skill which requires strategy, planning and practice. The best humor is subtle and smart. The goal is not to get a laugh, but to get a knowing smile.DG

What is the best way to write a cover letter to an early-stage startup?
Better than a cover letter is to actually proactively DO something to help them. It'll show them not only that you've researched them, but you're passionate about the startup and worth bringing on. A man got a job at Square early on for just making them a marketing video on his own (back before they had one). Since you're a web designer, design a stellar 1-pager that's targeting their message to a particular niche. Something they could use on social media or something. If they're like most startups, they're not interested in reading cover letters. They're interested in passionate individuals who can add value to the organization.AS
