Anyone start a coffee brand? Think it would be a cool side gig but have no idea if it’s worth it or not / how much it would cost

Just source the beans from South America and import a little “extra” hidden. Boom 30,000% profit increase all under the table 😂 😂

Your biggest startup expense would be the roaster, likely somewhere in the vicinity of $10-20k if buying new. Everything else would be relatively inexpensive--packaging, sealer, labels, etc.

On the other hand, there are contract roasters out there where you'd either rent their equipment or they'd white label coffee for you. No clue how much those charge.

I can confirm MD1’s comments and $ estimate on the roaster. I’ve seen great success on this fresh toaster model paired with a really capable pastry chef and a chill hangout place

Is this reasonable or am I missing something?

I started maxing my 401k from year 1 and I hope to have $5 million or more by the time I retire around 60. Wouldn’t it make sense to put all of my yearly $19,500 401k contribution to ROTH 401k instead of traditional 401k?

My reasoning is that I would pay 35% tax now and my remaining 65% would grow tax-free in ROTH 401k…. versus traditional 401k where I deposit 100% but every distribution will be taxed 35% assuming I make a lot in retirement.

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

Making an offer. The sellers said they had 30+ people walk through the open house today, and are asking for best and final. They’ll make a decision on Monday. The list price is 775k. We were originally thinking of offering 700 to start since comps are around 735k. However, this is nicer than the comps renovation-wise. What would you all suggest we offer? We’d rather lose the house than overpay, so this concerns us.

Co-Founder here. I have 25% of the company, and the other 2 cofounders have 10% and 65%. The 10% cofounder hardly does anything anymore. The 65% co-founder still seems dedicated and I think it’s largely because of sunk costs (this person put in most of the money). I don’t believe in the startup anymore, which seems to be a good indication it’s time to quit. Any advice for quitting and leaving your company in an even worse state as a result? Thanks 🙏
