What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
- Finding and securing investors - learning about term sheet aspects and negotiation, and all things related to this - including how to get warm intros into so many firms that only accept those (other than Linkedin mutual-contact searches)
- Getting my business plan done
- Crafting legal executive employment agreement with equity, partial-equity
- Validating POC with organizational clients
- Recruiting and signing up consumers, sellers, and organizational clients for a waitlist we can show potential investors
- Laying financial groundwork and expectations, checklists, etc.
- Crafting legal selling partner contract
- Being legally-prepared from all angles - from taxes, filings, tools for tracking and management of critical legal filing dates, aspects of operating as a DE Inc. PBC, but as a "foreign corporation" in CA
Actions I’ve taken so far
- Competitive research and validating assumptions
- Hired interns who are doing a number of things for me from social media to HR to finance to tech and more
- Begun a wireframe and prototype
- Have and have validated investor deck
- Financial projection and industry research
- Initial financial projections (currently getting help on this from a mentor in another mentor organization)
- Lots of social media marketing
- Provisional patent pending
- Trademarks
- Interviewed B2B procurement professionals to validate the need from their standpoint
- Legal structure as a DE Inc. PBC
- Paid property taxes for my home office
- Website And probably more that I am forgetting
My future goals
- Played a significant role in reversing climate change though sustainable purchasing
- Stolen a huge chunk of sellers and customers from Amazon
- Become the world's largest sustainable products and services marketplace
- Made so much money that I can travel the world and give lots of it away, build climate solutions in the most challenged communities
My motivations to work with a mentor
- Learn
- Get the above done
A NOTE TO WHOMEVER DESIGNED THIS FORM: IN THE LOCATION AREA, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A "GLOBAL" OR "INTERNATIONAL" CHOICE INSTEAD OF GOING BOX BY BOX
