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?

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,
I have done work for all type of startups. And i have experienced many problems in startup. I will help to solve problems which i have experienced in startups. And i will help you to find your better ideas. Please connect me.
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 JoshJosh JermaineJJ

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.Tom WilliamsTW

What learning path do I have to take to become a "full-stack" web developer?
If I was just starting out, I'd consider learning Meteor (https://www.meteor.com/). It's just entered version 1.0 and after working with it for a little less than a year I do have some issues with it but it still makes for a very solid framework that gets you up and running very fast. You would only need to learn Javascript, and you can slowly work your way towards nodejs from there (which Meteor is based on) if you want to, or you could get the basics down and focus on learning design if you prefer.Kristian DupontKD

How to launch an MVP for an on-demand delivery startup?
There isn't a lot of published information that I've seen (or can quickly find) on how washio and postmates validated their business model, but I definitely agree that starting fairly lean and validating your business first even if that means a lot of manual effort up front is a better approach than investing heavily in infrastructure before launch. Of course, if you are very successful, that manual work will pile up quickly and managing it could be quite painful, but you can have worse problems than a successful launch. Maff Rigby's 7-day startup recommendation is definitely a good one.Geoffrey WisemanGW
