I co own a company. I am currently writing code for it. We are a startup and have been through the ringer. Finally are sales are picking up and we have figured it out. The sales coming in are still not at a point where we can give ourselves a salary or receive funding at a sane valuation. Current monthly sales is $4,000 needs to be at least $10,000 before we can take on investment. I haven't taken a salary in 2 years while we grow this company. I have used most of my life savings to fight a nonsense law suit by our fromer CTO. We kicked is butt. I drive for lyft 8 days a month to make money while we build the company. My payment doesn't come till Wednesday and I am without food for the next few days. A pizza would be wonderfuly. Just want to eat and keep coding.
Carson Brown
I would man but I have less than $10 in my account at the moment. best of luck
James Hill
Thanks brother. You too!
Lincoln James
Are you hiring?
Asher Fisher
Not yet. No one is taking a salary right now. Everyone is working for free. I do need more coders though. Can you code? Do you live in chicago or willing to move?
Brody Kelly
MERN stack. What are you guys working on? Don't need to give too many details, but what is the category? And I probably would, honestly.
Austin Reed
Angular front end with a django rest framework backend. Backend is connected by RESTful api giving CRUD functions. Also connected via web sockets with rabbitIQ and redis message broker. Can't go into detail other than we are a double sided market place for corporations. That is one of our products. The next uses big data, to allow our partners to make better bussiness decisions, with their prime costs.
Ryan Cooper
u should not have ur address on the site... could be dangerous
Evan Barnes
I don't im asking people to go to buymepizza.net where I have a post and execute a transaction through them
Jaxon Flores
thank you though
Brody Davis
I'd consider buying you pizza as an investment in the company. How much of the company will I own if I buy you pizza? How can I ensure I will receive ownership?
Brayden Diaz
Not bad, seems interesting. Would work for free, but I don't have experience aside from personal projects, and LambdaSchool(bootcamp type thing). How is the startup life(if you're classified as such)? Might be able to throw you some dollars from some old gift cards lying around. Will check 'em out
Samuel Taylor
Oh shit, nvm. Didn't realize I had to buy some shit. Sorry man, you should have chose gofundme
Hunter Kelly
considering our current valuation at the average cost of a pizza being 20 you would own 0.05% of our company
Colton Ortiz
hmm would you be ok with chase quick paying me? I'll have to nuke my email address after but thats fine. if we do that I can pay you back on Wednesday
James Ward
hello sir this site is a scam did you actually look into it at all
James Lee
yes its actually legit but I would prefer chase quick pay to be honest. That way I can pay you back when I get paid on wednesday
Lucas Baker
it's a legit shitty merchandise website
Xavier Hill
Need any IT nerds or just purely codemonkeys?
Adrian Sanchez
not at the point of codemonkeys need people who can solve complex problems on their own.
Lincoln Scott
fair. well would you be willing to buy me a dominos gift card and email it to me or chase quick pay me so I can pay you back?
Jaxon Cooper
Got sales staff or you just slangin it yourself?
Elijah Garcia
whats your fax number
Jacob Myers
What are you actually selling? SAAS? How many of "you" are there? Why not consider a business development co-founder with more business acumen. Or perhaps a pivot? Ramen profitable and starving after two years is terrible.
Sometimes it takes getting out of the code and taking a serious look at product market fit. Don't get married to an idea, but think of it as an experiment.
Easton Reyes
this thread is already better than anyone here. gimme your email, ill buy a dominos card for you.
Luis Smith
so we have 1 person doing sales we call them our venue relations director. We are very high touch do to the nature of the bussiness. So its me (co founder new CTO) founder, director of venue relations, 2 interns, and a marketing manager
How does one get into coding and what could I gain to acomplish in two months?
Logan Martin
you'd be better off buying ham and sandwich bread instead of eating pizza every night you fucking fagit
Carter Gomez
so we have partnered with several companies already which our market place and greater product (which will be built starting 2 quater next year) serves. Its never been a question of does our product work. It does, its a matter of dealing with that lawsuit I was talking about. We were stuck. But like I said we pushed through hard.
Hunter Thompson
>How does one get into coding First, figure out what you want to code. What is it?
>what could I gain to acomplish in two months? Not much.
Daniel Anderson
I only need the pizza until my job driving for lyft pays me on Wednesday
Ryan Myers
this is accurate
my best bet for you is to go to udacity.com look at the nano degree supporting courses which are free. The paid nano degrees are made up of free supporting courses. and take coding courses there. Start with intro to programming
Alexander Perry
fuck me sideways. i can't buy the card. i overestimated my fucking money. im so sorry man.
Christopher Nelson
why the terrible spelling? on the pizza site and in the op? seems english isn't your first language...
Levi Nelson
its ok thank you for trying I appreicate it!
Asher Martinez
Not a bad idea there. I’d be willing to work >for free in the Chicago area but probably don’t have skills you’d need at this juncture.
Kayden Lopez
english is my first lanuage I am just typing fast. I think because I have hope that someone where will help me buy a pizza. I am born in chicago. I am from the US.
Kayden Hall
"Deals Fall Through" - Paul Graham...
I knew the justin.tv (twitch.tv) crew long before they were anybody and they had his picture framed in their living room with those quotes, and you're fucked at the bottom.
"Greater Product"? It doesn't sound like you have a product market fit on your current product. Is this a pivot or are you just adding feature creep?
As far as lawsuits, I've been served papers by FB and sued by the federal government. They're not as bad as you think. It doesn't sound like you had much to lose in the first place as you had taken on no investment. A lawsuit like that shouldn't hold you up, especially for a product that doesn't really make money and can be pivoted into something else after CTO guy is already long gone.
Anyways, congrats on getting two "interns" to work for you while trudging away in the mud.
Is that email your paypal too?
Michael Harris
it is not. My paypal is connected to a email I dont remember the password for.
Landon Sullivan
You look like a real nice person i hope you sucedd best of luck to you user
Caleb Kelly
and yes, I'll buy you a pizza. Any medium blog or something to keep track of your progress?
Wyatt Fisher
Same, I'm the MERN stack guy, but my skills probably aren't polished enough for a real job. Maybe I'm dunning-kruger spectrum and underestimate myself. I've been programming for over 4 years now.
Nolan Gutierrez
Come about 6 hours south of chiraq and you can drink and eat with me m8. Fuck this shitty state
Cameron Johnson
Do you have a crypto addy or something to send you money in?
Evan Russell
Part of the reason I will admit that we are in this position is my fault. So This is my first website I am building. I recently graduated with a computer science degree.4
Im 31 though. I served in the marine corps for 9 years worked to get a bio chem degree (though I wanted to be a doc) realized thats stupid. then went into computer science. Started the entrepreneurship route, met up with a guy who had an idea. Left mine on the way side to start his. In the mean time after that I needed to get my coding and architecture skills to where they needed to be. Took me about a year. So that plus lawsuit puts us here. Happily we are pushing through hard!!!!
Cooper Wright
I definetly will donate as I am in similar shoes. What do you recommend for a quick paying tech job with minimal skills/college/experience? I am in labor atm and want to leave to fulfill a career.
Nathan Wilson
guess you got into my ip and turned my camera on? Figured that would happen. Took the risk I just want to eat
Mason Wood
finally, a good thread. WIll donate. Just don't forget to give back where you came from and those who supported you when you were starving for success.
Jayden Wright
I dont. At least it wont be liquid enough to help me. Chase quick pay would be best. Or if you wish to go to dominos.com and buy me a e gift card? Happily will pay you back
Noah Anderson
ill give you my sperm, all you need is protein anyway
Ryder Lewis
will for sure!
Robert Wood
Kek sounds a lot like me
Logan Jones
I normally just use paypal dude. I can sent you btc or pp right now. I'm not using that weird ass site.
Nicholas Allen
Nah you just left a googleable name m8
Jacob Robinson
Your best bet in that case is to apply to the big companies. Motorola, best buy, walmart, etc. Any massive co that can afford to train you!
Luis Edwards
are you comfortable chase quick paying me or sending a e gift card to my email? [email protected]
Logan Evans
ah thank you. makes sense. Yeah I know im DOC ing myself but again risk I will take. I know that people are normally good!
Owen Rodriguez
were brothers in struggle
Adrian Morales
You don't have 8 bucks? kys
Gavin White

Charles Hill

Brandon Gutierrez

Nathan Lopez
If this is legit OP, you better lingering around this thread until the pizza arrives to help all the faggots who wants to better themselves in tech. You owe Sup Forums that much.
Ryan Lopez

Brody Torres

Jordan Davis
Im sending you an email. I want to pay you back on wednesday!
Bentley Ross

Bentley Martinez
A real human bean, nice job user Was worried I was gonna have to shell out myself for a fellow alum. Godspeed Opie, maybe I’ll come watch your racks when y’all get big.
Andrew Gray
I will post the confrimation page of me ordering the pizza and when it arrives
Angel Thomas
yeahh right op i know you changed the HTML and took a screenshot to make it look like someone donated so that others will join
Levi Williams
nigger nobody cares about you, we're compassionate about OP because he is a desperate fuck who may become successful.
Jack Walker
Hope it fails. It'll get to your head if it becomes successful.
Jace Turner
