    Mobile based Job Board?

    What advice would you give to me as a Hiring Manager or as a Job seekers if I tell you that I'm developing a Mobile Application where you can Post/Apply to jobs On The Go? Also, this will be focused more towards "Voice" rather than "Text" to reduce/eliminate the need for typing out huge paragraphs, AND assess candidates/express yourself with more freedom! Do you think it helps? P.S.: In...

    Is raising FUNDS a good idea? ๐Ÿš€

    The debate between Funded vs Bootstrapped is endless and I believe it totally depends upon what your goals are. However, I often get stuck in this dilemma of whether I should seek funding as it will give me leverage over time, speed, & growth, OR "Do I actually need it?" From your experience, is raising funds a good idea? If YES, when?

    How can I find the ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) for my product/service?

    To give context, I'm building a platform that helps companies connect with the RIGHT "non-technical" talent for their hiring needs. Everything seems to be ready in terms of operations, delivery, and sales tools. I'm just stuck in the loop of thoughts of finding whom to target. From your experience, how should I approach this?

    How did you get your first 10 customers for your startup? ๐Ÿค”

    I'm launching my product very soon that helps companies connect & hire the best Indian "Non-Tech" talent, and I'm curious to learn how can I find my first 10 customers once I launch. You're insights and experiences would be extremely helpful. ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ™

    How to crack the "Chicken and Egg" problem while building a marketplace businessโ“

    I'm building a marketplace that connects Indian Sales Talent with companies looking to hire, from across the globe. ๐Ÿš€ What should I focus on building first? The Supply or the Demand? Or both simultaneously? What are your thoughts?
