My main goal is to create an income apart from my full time job. Just keep the cash flow going! So instead of starting a small business all by myself is there any way I could invest on small business like maybe a gas station, convenience store etc

I mean I don’t really think I got that much but have to look at it too!

The challenge with these businesses (gas stations convenience stores) is exiting the position should you ever want to. Think hard about buying into a business you have no meaningful influence in without a reliable exit plan.

A startup offered me stock options for my support. Now they want to start paying me part time and also offer me increased stake in the company. I am debating between asking for equity or more stock options. Need help in understanding which one to consider. For context, founder is open to both as they consider me as part of the founding team and long term plans for the company.

Hi all,

Looking for a little help on developing a website prototype to test (app too if possible). I need:

A backend that allows for volunteers to add their availability hours (something like Calendly integration), short bio, profile pic etc

A front end that requires users to sign up, and then lets them directly sign up with the volunteers.

I looked at Wix online booking system but you can only schedule staff by working hours. Built sites on WP before but lacking in time currently.

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 🙏
