Google has done a terrible execution in my country. You could use google pay but the app to choose or add a card wasnt available.

WTF Is Dot Tokens?

Posted by minasmarios on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @02:49PM
from the self-post dept.

I understand that Polkadot is a bridge/ interconnection between blockchains. But what is Dot Tokens? Is it a way to invest into Polkadot? or Is it a way to pay for using the Tech? How do new tokens get mined or given (instead of buying from Exchanges)?

Did you started actually working on the idea then?
Re:Tell me why my Crypto Startup idea won't work on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @08:13AM (#26888566)
The idea is just that. Create a Nasdaq for early private tech startups - fixed valuations - funded with crypto.

For the Investors I think there is no problem with SEC, but for the fundable startups what could be a workaround?

This would skyrockets the small investments on early stage projects -> more projects would grow -> they go to VCs when ready

Instead of money, just Crypto. So early Startups/ Projects get funded as fast someone sends'em some coins. And the investors to be nerds/ crypto investors and can invest them on startups.

So the value is Startups will be really easily funded, fast and by anyone, disregarding the regulations and limits for fundraising with conventional money.

That's true! I event sent my friend a couple of DOGE for his birthday. SpaceX may put it in their sheets, but for early-stage startups this could be a way to be get funded from crypto investors who got big early on.

DAAA!

The goal is to make anyone able to invest in a listed Startup.

Just checked BlockFi, but it is only about interest. How could it be used to raise a fund?
Re:Tell me why my Crypto Startup idea won't work on Tuesday April 20, 2021 @01:31AM (#26871032)
Kickstarter has a much different customer base. This would nee crypto investors, not retail buyers.

Exactly that

I have an idea. Everyone here loves crypto (and have some) and loves startups too.I want to create a coinbase for startup equity. Translation :you invest small sums of your cryptos in a startup of your choise.Persuade me that it won't work with arguments based on:1) innovation - someone already doing this?2) legal issues - on conversional equity crowdfunding there are limitations and...

I'm a SaaS Startup. Can do sales without incorporation?

Posted by minasmarios on Saturday June 27, 2020 @05:11AM
from the self-post dept.

Hello Founders! We just got our 1st paid customers but I'worried whether we should incorporate immediately or not. 1. Should a SaaS Startup be incorporated in order to get paid through Stripe/Paypal/Credit Card, legally? 2. Is there a threshold of being not exactly legal? 3. Is there any like "Umbrella company" service to pay the taxes for you, without needing you to incorporate?
