Anyone who has been in e-commerce, what licenses did you need to get started? I am drop shipping and am federally complaint. I just paid for a sales license in my state because ChatGPT said I needed it but I’m honestly unsure. ChatGPT is also telling me I need to get licenses for my current city. This seems like overkill to me. Does anyone have any experience with this in drop shipping? Located in the US.

You just need to get your LLC or corp entity up and file with the state for your EIN/tax id and that’s it. Unless you’re selling something shady.

Get a lawyer. But yes you will need it.

LLC should be more than sufficient. Aside from that, just collect and pay sales tax. Good luck on this. Dropshipping is tough, but if you source a great product and dial in your paid ads, you can clean up.

Thanks! Yeah almost at launch. Going to try to crush it.

yeah.. it’s going to depend on the product and state and how much you sell to each place

i would recommend taxjar as a software to keep track of sales tax nexus

Need some timely offer advice. Currently at a Pre-IPO tech company (IPO in next 18 months extremely likely) & evaluating what it would take to jump to a seed-stage startup prior to offer negotiations.

+ Equity: $130K/year at current internal valuation

Seed-stage, Chief of Staff:
+ Currently valued at $100M after $12M in financing

This is for a BizOps role & they have a team of 20-30. What cash + equity % would make sense to switch over for?

How common is it to have an investor in your company also be a customer? As a company should you bend backwards to accept a requirement that serves only the investor and no one else in your customer base?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
