MenuI have a lot of ideas, and a lot of skills. Where or how, can I find ways to use them to become part of a startup or expanding business?
Answers
Hi
I work with a lot of startups. You're welcome to contact me so that I can get to you know better and help connect you with them. I'm also currently working with a friend on starting our own startup (after completing a previous one). He is also very talented (programmer / Data analyst and other skills), so if we all meet and get along, maybe you can join us in the process.
Good luck
Hi,

There's are 2 ways you can upskill yourself.
1) The straight forward way - get a job where they will train you up. The only problem with this is that most jobs require you to have a knowledge base before they are willing to hire you. Also, there's only so much you can learn in a job, they will train you up to the extent that you can complete your tasks, and ususally training will end there.
2) start your own projects. These can be weekend projects such as what I build recently in one day to teach myself basic web design: http://getsolitaire.com/ , you will learn end to end skills that no job will ever teach you.

Shall we register our company before testing the MVP?
I do not believe you should incorporate your company yet as there is a chance you will scrap the idea or iterate on the assumptions after analysis. I suggest you run your initial testing on a very minimal MVP to see if there is interest. I would go further in saying that you should not even allow people to pay only have them click on the payment option because at that point you know that it would be a conversion. The ONLY thing you are proving with an MVP is validation of an idea. Only make the mousetrap front end and see if you can drive users to where you want and stop. Even if you frustrate some people, it was worth it as you now know for sure people will buy or do what it is you wanted. Schedule a call with me to find out more. God knows I have done this enough times. Good luck JoshJJ

The way I higher anyone is to find people who already do amazing work, approach them for advice on my projects, see if their a fit for our team and skills - then over time (as I work on a project with them) convince them that our company is the best opportunity they have. So, back to your questions - where do I find high quality UX designers? We'll, here's a few places I look: - www.dribbble.com - http://www.behance.net/ - http://www.deviantart.com/ - http://carbonmade.com/ I also like searching on Twitter for bio's with UX design and high influence score, or follower count Ex: https://followerwonk.com/bio/?q=UX%20designer&s=social_authority If you follow this approach for sourcing great candidates, and my recommendation above re: get advice/start a conversation - then work on a simple project first to see if there's a fit, you should find some success. It takes time, but the right person can 10x your growth .. so slow down and do it right. P.S. I also did this once, and ended up higher 2 AMAZING guys! http://www.danmartell.com/why-i-would-pay-100000-for-an-amazing-ui-designer/DM

When is it better to find a technical co-founder before developing an MVP vs. hiring a freelancer to build it for you, and vice-versa?
A co-founder is a long-term relationships that should be built on trust, and passion, and time... time to fight, time to recover, time to build rapport. Ultimately, your co-founder shouldn't be based on *any* specific idea, because the two (or three?) of you could work on anything you are all passionate about, and either experience wild success or learn some great lessons along the way. An MVP doesn't require a co-founder get built. In fact, the less technical code required the better. You should be able to validate most ideas with some very basic tools: WordPress site, Email list, a set of google forms, and a little love. I think the most important question to ask yourself is, "Am I willing to have my idea change for the right person? Or am I just trying to find the best person to execute on my idea?" For what it's worth, I've seen much more success with the former than the latter.TK
