Hi everyone! I am about to have a conversation with an investor. This will be my first ever conversation like this. I have a bootstrapped tech startup where I personally developed the app MVP with no code software to get proof of concept. I now need the app built professionally in order to help it scale. I need 28K for the app buildout but curious if I should ask for more to give us some marketing capital? And what should I offer for equity since that isn't much $$ invested

Struggling to validate PMF — used Apollo.io for cold outreach (emails + calls), but got zero replies. I’m solo and bootstrapped — any budget-friendly ways to test demand or get early signals?

Does anyone have successful strategies for investor outreach? I have researched and emailed investors that fit our Ed-Tech company profile, with very little success.

Hi everyone! I’m working on an extremely early-stage concept and would love your honest feedback. Problem: Millions of people look up clinical trials, but the info is dense, technical, and hard to understand — even for educated readers. Idea: A public platform that explains clinical trials in plain language with simple visuals — making it easy to grasp what a trial is testing, its status, and why it matters. Would love your thoughts — would this be useful? Who might benefit most?

I have some ideas for starting a small local business but before quitting my job, putting my time and money towards that business, I want to be as sure as possible that there is good demand and not excessive competition. How do I go about conduction this research? For example one of my ideas is pool service/maintenance. How do I know how many people in my area have pools and how many of those people hire a company or prefer to do it themselves?
