Hello HN people!

I do have questions (tons of them btw) and I do think that it is the good place to ask.

Got:

1. The idea

2. Two developers

3. The MVP (actually working prototype, to say mo I'm already using it for my own purposes together with my family)

4. A very small feedback (14 guys interested and waiting for the start of the project) after a few posts on the internet boards.

5. All the tech-related things like certificates, scaling, tests, ci\cd, etc (don't really think that it worths mentioning here, but why not...)

6. Vision (don't like this word) of how to scale and apply the idea to different markets and integrate with my current main project (or similar) where I'm working as a developer

Want:

1. Run the prototype and test it in the live-mode.

Problems:

1. This is the side project running in the parallel with the main job. So the time is the problem.

2. I do not have the experience of running the c-corp or something to legally start the stripe integration for payments. And I can't actually run the project without it.

3. The project already has the expenses related to the Google cloud and some of the others 3rd-party providers.

Questions (I know nothing about the investments and startup stages so please forgive me the stupid questions):

1. Does the project on the right stage for searching for investments?

2. Do the investors willing to help me with the legal issues?

3. Do I need to look into startup accelerators?

4. What is the best\fast\safe option to run the project?

5. What are the good articles to read about the process of building and funding the startup\sideproject?

p.s. I don't think that you guys like the advertisement so I didn't put the link to my weird landing page here. (ping me if we need it for the discussion)

Currently I'm working as a software developer for more than 7 years. And I'm struggling with the problem that I feel myself a bit stupid because of the routine work. Pretty much any enterprise application development process these days looks like: requirements -> tasks -> DAO -> Service layer -> models -> view models. Of course you can mention microservices, more complex architectural patterns and other things... but.. Not really harder than that.

So I want to train my brain to keep it up to date and fully functional.

What I'm doing now: - Learning vim (that's really hard after the years with Visual studio) - Trying to solve algos on Hackerrank.

What do you usually do to train yourself?

Hello hackers,

want to find some offline course about startups to participate.

Interesting in intensive courses. Project management, data analysis, social data analysis, etc.

Want to learn from successful guys so much.

Preferable location: Europe\USA. I'm software developer from Ukraine.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Hey! Can you help me with one issue. What is the best place to place my cv\cover letter in order to find a customer?

By the way, here is my cover letter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gMhaKWyzm1p44SJhBz69Rp8MFgnDf8TShZ8t5eH-US8/edit?usp=sharing
