However now that the market has gotten smaller due to hybrid and remote workforces it's not as profitable a space.
With that being said, we spent a lot of time and money developing this awesome platform that allows customers to order from vendors and have whatever they ordered delivered at a set date/time.
Any ideas on how we can repurpose this technology and brand? Any other markets or opportunities that this will work for?
If you had this codebase what would you do with it to make it successful?
Thanks!
The idea of not ordering food delivery, and not shopping for groceries is new and a discontinuous type of innovation, which requires a change in consumer behaviour.How do these aforementioned companies find their early adopters? Everyone eats, so how do they find people willing to try this?
Once you select a city you'll get results with venues for that city. On the left hand side you'll notice additional filters such as "Event type, Venue type, Venue Capacity, Price, Amenities". You can play with these filters to further curate the results to your liking.
We're more than a directory, if you actually create an account you'll notice that you can select "Add To My Queue" on several venues and send them all a bulk message at once with your budget, event details etc... This message will be delivered directly to the venue representatives of those venues - you can expect responses shortly thereafter. I've on-boarded 50+ venues so they will be receiving your message directly.
To your last point, yes this is the goal so we're in search of our market segments/users.
We've just launched and I find that there's so much to do but I'm almost paralyzed by it all. The obvious answer is to spend your time where you'll get the largest return right? Well, how do you know where this is when you have little data?To be clear though, it's a marketplace application http://www.venuevortex.com - we've built the product, we've launched it, I've on-boarded 50+ venues...
Hey!Are you looking to start a new company? I can certainly help, I have a team of developers that have helped build some great web applications over the years. A few that have gone on to raise 7 figures + in angel and VC funding. We're looking to take on the next great idea, our rates are fair considering our track record.Please contact me if you are serious about building a real business....
Also, I've already been paid in full. So at this point I have nothing to lose really.
So, I've been working with a client for the last 8 months now. And I built their entire web application from the ground up. I also outsourced some of the work because of the scale.Anyhow, they've just asked me to send over a W9 and they will send over a 1099. However, I'd rather not go that route because I'm going to have to track down my outsourced workers and get them to send me their W9's...
In most cases there are transactional deals via PayPal when working with individuals, however with companies it's a bit different.What is the best way to file income taxes as a freelance developer? I.E Keep track of invoices etc...Any help here would be great!
I'm running an event aggregator web app, and I'd like to pick your brain on what creative partnerships I can pursue?I acknowledge the fact that partnerships are important for growth, for example a friend built an email analytics platform that could take email addresses and gather social statistics, i.e. what platforms they're using etc... And he partnered with MailChimp, UnBounce etc... and it...
So to provide some context, my client sent me a message yesterday that said he's leaving for vacation tomorrow (now today) and that he would be back next week and that he's going send the payment for my last milestone before he leaves.I've sent him a friendly reminder this morning to please send the payment before he goes so that I can get started on the next set of tasks and I haven't heard...
I don't want to hear that there is no such thing is a idle time for a CEO because frankly that isn't true in every case. There are cases when you're waiting for other parties to make their move as you've made a bunch of moves.I'm at that point today, where I'm waiting for my developers to finish things up, I'm waiting for a client to get back to me about something, and I'm waiting for a...
1. He's based in a totally different country, I'm in Canada and he might as well be based in Japan (an example but close enough).
2. The chances of him discovering the app are slim.
3. The chances of him finding out the I created the app are even slimmer, and because the app isn't a direct competitor the chances of him looking up who founded the company isn't likely.
I think based on those 3 points, my odds are good. But I truly appreciate the dialog here because it got me thinking.
I've been asked to sign an NDA by a company who'd like to use my development services. They already gave me a run down of their entire company strategy post NDA. I'm curious how effective are NDAs anyway? I'm aware that they are only effective if the party chooses to pursue a case, but my intuition tells me that they're more of a preventative smoke screen than a viable document.Thoughts?

I've spent the last 6 months building out a web app. It's premise is Catering for home cooked meals. You can sign-up as a Caterer, or you can order as a consumer. There are different categories i.e. Italian, Chinese, Japenese, Indian and you can order a REAL home cooked meal from any of these ethnic groups. We're creating jobs, and a greater selection of quality food for delivery! We're...
