Hi Nasib! I can jump on a call with you to share what we've learned. Message me.

Where are you based out of? May have some resources for you

Would love to learn more, so I could share some concrete advice.

Nasib Ahmed sent you a DM

Hey, Nasib! I launch startups for a living and have launched 14 different startups from $0 to $2MM+ annual revenue. One of the key elements of how I approach this is a sequence that helps you identify your best audience and then grow it to a million dollars in ARR. crowdtamers.com/build-test-a-million-%f0%9f%92%b2-arr-acquisition-funnel-in-9-weeks/ LMK if you have any questions about the above. 🙂

Happy to have a chat SocialEyes Communications

Would love to learn more about your business and give you advice that is more targeted

Happy to chat. We work with early-stage businesses both in a coaching capacity and full execution. Feel free to book in for a discussion: [email protected]

Hey Tim, Feel free to shoot me a message, can walk you through some options on this topic

My CFO has me using a HubDoc/Xero combo. In the past, I used Freshbooks as part of a larger system for my consulting business.

Wave use to have a great app for this but they have since discontinued it… they still have capability of adding invoices and expenses but not nearly as easy/useful as the app with ability to take pictures of receipts and it would load into the system with a lot of data filled out for you.

Look at Expensify app

FredhBooks (also great for invoicing).

What tax/incorporation moves make the most sense in the earliest stages to save effort/retain the most money 5 years/$5M AAR?

Take a look at Wise.com

I use xoom, it’s a PayPal company and works well

If you’re a business checkout www.getloop.ca Lowest cost fx you’ll find and sending $ is low/no fee.

I second wise. Feel free to use my referral link for a deal on your first transfers! wise.com/invite/i/bryans799

I’ve also enjoyed RemitBee. It’s a bit more geared for Canadian businesses specifically remitbee.com/refer/info70

Try www.remitbee.com/business. Big sending limit, good exchange rates, fast transfers, and more.

Try RemitBee - www.remitbee.com/. HQ is based in Missisauga and all transfers $500+ are free. Plus they have business accounts for higher sending limits if required. - full disclosure: I'm a current employee AND happy customer.

Jil, had good experience hiring from upwork. Maybe worth a look. They usually price by word. What helped me: - identify pillar content and SEO worthy topics using semrush

Robin is great - not sure if she does freelance still or not but worth a reach out: robintaub.com/

I’ve been looking for the same for my fintech startup! As one suggestion, you can sign up for Y Combinator’s co-founder matching program. Most candidates are in the US but there are def some Cdn folks on there too

How about a marketing / business development co-founder?

I’ve been doing a lot of work in healthcare over the past decade and this sounds really interesting to me, I’d love to learn more! Will DM

👋I’m in the health tech space (Pediatrics) and believe in what you’re doing. Our health system is going to crash under the needs of the boomers and in-home care demand is only going up and to the right.. please let me know how I can be helpful. Two suggestions: engaging CABHI at Baycrest and Startup Health. Happy to connect you.

This may be an old thread but what about a Fractional CTO? Ive seen some success there and the right one can help your business but you wont need to be all in. Ive done full time CTO and a small startup and I feel fractional could be an option depending on cash flow and needs. Might be worth considering

I've used Contracts Market for my website - www.thecontractsmarket.com?ref=mansibaxi1

I only did a quick Google. My startup ended up using Lawyers ($$$ 🙁 ) but this site COULD help YMMV www.websitepolicies.com/pricing

Loved Deel. I have some experience on both sides of it - as an employer and as an employee receiving payments. Would totally recommend - very smooth, quick, simple. Have not heard of Remote.
