popsmoke.net/35 Should I Quit My Day Job to Join A Startup

Show Notes

- Do you have any good online resources about founding a startup?
- What goes into preparing for an investment round?

I believe there's 3 questions to ask yourself:

- Do you believe in the startup?
- Do you like the founder?
- Do you love the startup grind?

Resources:

- The PopSmoke Show: Live video conversations with veteran entrepreneurs.
Not exactly sure because I've never raised money, but I would say traction.
- Sonny Tosco, founder of Limelight, mentions traction in his episode: Veteran, Father, CEO, App Creator (PS016).
- In episode 14, Kelly brings up the great point that it's not about whether you're idea is going to change, it's about if you have enough time to survive until you can figure it out.
- Episode with Kelly Perdew, founder of TargetClose: Will Kelly Perdew Invest in Your Business (PS014).
- Dave shares that his biggest challenge when starting out is finding a cofounder.
- Episode with Dave Cass, founder of Uvize: Why Veterans Struggle Transitioning to Higher Education (PS006)
