Looking for a software consultant, can I ask an info person about the process before starting a company

i hired a consultant bro, it was great. he decided which strategic moves to make. cost me 8k but thanks to him i also found an investor. my advice: hire a consultant at the start

When choosing a consultant: 1- Do they have startup experience? 2- Do they have an investor network? 3- Do they have industry knowledge? 4- What are their references? 5- What's the fee model (project monthly commission-based)? Finding a consultant suited to your startup is crucial.

I'm curious: you should ask what areas the consultant can help with. Because some consultants work on tech, others on marketing. What kind of consultant do you need?

Bro hire a consultant at the start! The founding stage is the hardest, you need the right decisions. The consultant's guidance can help you find investors and cover the cost here. Good luck!

Thanks a lot Ill try it today.

I went through the same thing.

Theres a trap here let me mention it. If decision-making authority isnt defined it causes daily issues, not just during exits.

Could you elaborate on that? Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently. Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

Theres a trap here let me mention it. I mean if its your first time, start small; scaling comes later.

A partnership without a payment schedule locks up at the first split. like that's all sorry if I went on too long.

Absolutely. If I were to add anything: When you try to change everything at once, nothing settles.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

My questions are cleared up, thanks. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

Thanks for posting.

I've been down this road let me tell you. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

Good luck with that.

I'm writing this so you don't make the same mistake. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

The only thing separating friendship from partnership is a written contract.

Thanks for writing this, that's the right way. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

That's all, sorry if I went on too long.

There are three things to check when doing this. Everyone rushing into hiring a consultant gets stuck at the same point.

If you have questions write them; I'll answer as best I can.

Don't miss this: If you get three different answers on a topic the question was asked wrong.

If you post the result here, it will help others too.

The discussion got scattered, let me summarize. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

This is my opinion I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.
