I really don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t have the sources to start my business and I am trying to desperately get work to have money to finance my company but renting is so darned expensive and prices are constantly rising. So renting a place is out. The job market sucks worse. I feel so deeply stuck. Suggestions?

Does your startup require a building? Can you kickoff your business online or from home? As far as resources, I take it you know your startup needs, so perhaps your local credit union can assist with a business loan. American Express, Capital One, and Chase have a loan programs for new startups. Grants are an option as well depending on your urgency to open.

I suppose I could start it online. I will have to look into the cost and time. I can tey that too. To get a loan. Maybe. Grants? I never thought of grants nor did it ever cross my mind. THANK YOU!😊

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
