Thinking through my SaaS startup idea…. I have a straw man built in Excel. Hypothetically, if I wanted to now clone a product such as Workday - as the closest approximation to what my product idea is - how easy would that be to do (for someone who knew how to build cloud apps)? Trying to get a sense of the technical complexity…

Isn’t it Workday a massive ERP product built over a period of 15 years? If your idea is HRIS area and addresses a particular problem, then depending on the complexity and list of the features the product build effort depends. Do you mind sharing what in HR your idea is trying to address?

I recently left public accounting to join a start up. I don’t have too many connections in this world yet, does anyone have recommendations for either articles, books or other sources of information I could use to get an understanding of the startup world and how I can make the right career choices moving forward. - *I’m on the product manager side*

Thanks in advance!

So I could use some advice for my startup. We currently are putting finishing touches on our MVP.

How much value do VC’s place on users before funding and how many users would they like to see for preseed funding. Any feedback is appreciated.
