Red flags - what are they?

And what do investors see from afar?

Phase 1: Initial assessment via your online presence

But it’s not about the looks. From the outset, a clear red flag is a startup that shows a high burn rate without demonstrating a concrete plan for profitability.

Context over visual satisfaction. Rapid capital depletion without viable profit strategies is a high-risk indicator.

Phase 2: Evaluating founders' credentials (and values)

Just like before going for a doctor’s appointment - it is important to know who is behind the tools. A founder or management team with a solid background gives a good feeling, but if one resists feedback or external input - it poses a significant risk.

It indicates an inability to adapt, a crucial factor for survival and growth in the business world.

Phase 3: Inspection of previous financial documentation

Let’s not take transparency for granted. And justification in expenditure reports is even more crucial.

Poor financial management is a sign to jump the fence. Make sure that you have it all well done.

To mitigate red flags, think like an investor: is this idea worth diving into, or is the world not prepared for it yet? And if it’s not - prepare the world. Implement the idea. And reap the benefits.

We've all been in this situation.

When we are sure of our capabilities to make things ourselves, and make them better with customizations, however, there is also the choice of going with a ready-made e-commerce platform, which is not so shabby either.

It's a decision that could shape your business's future - or is it?

Sure, a custom website offers unique design and control, but it might take more time and money.

Existing platforms like Shopify, though, can get you selling fast, but you might not have as much flexibility.

When it comes to 'build or buy', it's about finding what works best for your business and your customers.

And if you choose to ‘build’, contact us at Miteyda.Startups to assist you with your creations.

A startup suddenly appears on the market.

How did that happen? And where has it been?

The answer is it has been a Stealth Startup, and now - it’s announced.

What’s behind the scenes of that decision? A lot - market readiness, validation, and strategic positioning.

Let's dive in:

Market readiness involves thorough testing, ensuring your product or service meets market standards and customer expectations. It's about having the necessary infrastructure and resources in place.

Validation confirms market demand, often through beta testing and feedback.

And strategic positioning discerns your unique value proposition and competitive niche.

Transitioning from a stealth startup can be tactical, based on milestones like funding or product readiness, or opportunistic, responding to external market events and trends.

Questions? We're here to help!

Considering hiring friends, former colleagues or new talents?

It's a common thought.

But the question really is: who's the best fit for your company's needs and goals? And what type of talent would they be?

Need constant, dedicated tech talent? Full-time employees fit the bill.

Have specific, short-term tasks? Freelancers come in handy.

Looking at longer, ongoing projects? Contractors provide stability in longer projects.

And if you need a diverse set of skills or rapid scalability, outsourced teams can be the key.

Making the right choice isn't just about familiarity or convenience. It's about what each type of tech talent brings to the table.

At Miteyda.Startups, we help you navigate this landscape, ensuring your choices align with your startup's needs and goals.

Ready to assemble your dream team? Reach out to us.

We've all witnessed overloaded servers.

Problem? They slow down, cause errors, and crash due to too many users accessing the service at once.

The solution? Scaling and performance optimization.

Scaling increases server capacity to handle more users. Performance optimization ensures the system runs smoothly under heavy loads. This is achieved through techniques like load balancing, caching, and database sharding.

Let's break it down:

Load balancing distributes user requests across multiple servers to prevent overload. It involves configuring the load balancer software or utilizing load balancing services provided by cloud platforms we discussed in an earlier post.

Caching stores frequently accessed data temporarily, reducing the need to fetch it from the main database. Integrating caching mechanisms involves identifying the data that needs to be cached and choosing an appropriate caching solution (e.g., Redis, Memcached)

Database sharding divides large databases into smaller parts for better management (e.g., user ID, geographical location).

Scaling can be vertical (upgrading server power or increasing its resources (e.g., CPU, memory)) or horizontal (adding more servers and configuring them to work together effectively).

Do we fear the audacious or embrace it?

At Miteyda.Startups - we embrace it. Here is what everyone should be on the lookout for:

We constantly hear of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). However, what’s further down the line? - S-AGI: AI understanding new concepts🧠

Quantum Internet: A web of interconnected quantum computers - digital dawn or privacy cataclysm? ⚛️

Meta-Genetic Customization: Rewriting life's rules for personalized existence - evolution leap or nature's forbidden zone? 🧬

Hyper-Reality Simulations: Implanting experiences directly into the psyche - sensory exploration or existential crisis? 🕶️

Meta-Autonomous Megacities: Life managed by S-AGI and Quantum-IoT - peak convenience or autonomy surrender? 🏙️

The bold and innovative are knocking - let them in :)

Sky's the limit?

Perhaps, but only when you've chosen the right cloud to soar.

Today we are looking at cloud platforms that could spell the difference between launching to stardom or drowning in digital chaos.

Each platform shines in its own domain - AWS for its vast service offerings, Google Cloud for machine learning, and Azure for Microsoft product integration.

So, if you have intensive data processing needs, lean towards Amazon Web Services (AWS). If AI is your startup's forte, consider Google Cloud. Running on a Microsoft tech stack? Microsoft Azure could be your ideal fit.

This pivotal decision is part of the bigger journey we've been exploring in our series, .

"Welcome to June!"

A simple phrase that ushers us into a month filled with both celebration and curiosity. It's the first big marker on business’s annual journey and a time when fresh ideas often begin to blossom.

But let's not forget, June also raises the flag for Pride Month. A period dedicated to acknowledging, honoring, and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and the incredible diversity it brings to our society.

In the realm of technology, it's notable that June witnessed the unveiling of the first iPhone in 2007, a defining moment in the evolution of personal communication and mobile technology.

So here we go, here's to Summer - a far more gimmicky and innovation prone season, filled with discovery and acceptance.

Navigating the startup journey , you've made strategic decisions on:

[tech stacks, architectural patterns, design principles, and project management methodologies]

The next key step is embracing DevOps, which essentially serves as the practical implementation of these principles and practices.

DevOps, the fusion of software development and IT operations, shortens the development lifecycle and amplifies software quality.

Simply put, it fosters a culture and environment where developing, testing, and releasing software can happen rapidly, frequently, and more reliably, underlining the principles we've discussed so far.

Practices like Infrastructure as Code (IaC), configuration management, and monitoring/logging systems are a few instrumental tools in the DevOps arsenal. Selection of these tools requires a careful evaluation of your scalability needs, team expertise, and compatibility with existing systems.

Align your DevOps strategy with your startup goals to expedite release cycles, enhance system reliability, and improve responsiveness.

Implement DevOps and witness a transformative shift in your startup's growth trajectory. Need more insights?

“Re-" words, like reflect, retool, refine, are your startups’ best pals. They are akin to periodic pauses, allowing you to regroup and ensure your venture continues to operate at its peak.

Imagine your startup as a vibrant garden. Processes, such as revising strategies or revisiting code, are like the regular pruning, watering, and fertilizing that keep it thriving.

So, what's your go-to? Redesigning your app? Reassessing your target audience? Each 're-' is different and all with their own uses.

Choosing the appropriate 're-' comes down to a close examination of your startup. Identify your pain points, and the right tool to tackle them will often become evident.

When you pick your 're-' method, make sure it's what your 'garden' needs to bloom. The result? A vibrant, healthy startup that's raring to grow.

Last time around we explored architectural patterns of Netflix with .

Let's understand design principles next - key concepts for purposeful, consistent, and user-friendly software. Among them are SOLID, DRY, KISS, and YAGNI.

Look at Google’s use of SOLID principles:

Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): Typing in a search query shows relevant websites, images, news, and more. Each of these is handled by a separate part of Google's code.

Open-Closed Principle (OCP): Software can be extended without disrupting what already works (adding features, like Google Scholar or Google Books search).

Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): The choice to search among different types of content like Images, News, Videos, etc. and the process is seamless.

Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Each service provides a user interface for a specific task - Gmail for emails, Google Docs for texts.

But the greatest of them all is Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): Google's services depend on lower-level systems like databases and servers. However, changes in these lower-level systems don't disrupt Google's services because they all depend on the same set of stable interfaces :)

Do these principles resonate with your design needs? More on this topic is coming up in .

Meanwhile, aren't we all glad Google keeps things SOLID? :)

Congratulations on establishing your project methodology, the next crucial step is selecting the architectural patterns.

What are they? These patterns address common challenges in software design by providing guidelines for organizing code, connecting components, and managing data flow.

Popular choices are Microservices, Layered, Event-Driven, or Space-Based.

Here is how Netflix adopted the microservices pattern contributing to minimal downtime:

Small, independent services allow updates without impacting the whole system.
Service failures don't disrupt the entire platform or user experience.
Microservices enable quick feature deployment and updates with minimal disruption.
The pattern allows swift scaling of services to meet fluctuating user demands.

In today's ever-evolving business landscape, it's crucial to distinguish between established companies and startups, as recent worldwide data reveals the latter make up a staggering 90% of all businesses.

Understanding the differences between these two entities is akin to discerning the contrast between an experienced marathon runner and a novice just beginning their journey. While both share an entrepreneurial spirit and thirst for growth, the disparities in their size, structure, and innovative approach can provide invaluable insights for those invested in either sector.

Even so, every company, no matter the size or structure, can benefit from external teams and support. By gaining fresh perspectives and specialized expertise, they can achieve their objectives, maintain a competitive edge, and navigate the challenges of launching and scaling a business.

Don't be afraid to seek external eyes, for it can make all the difference in achieving success.

As promised, it’s “a smidge later” and we are having a deep dive session on the topic of our services:

To start off - our Back-end and Front-end development.

You may have heard that they are crucial parts of any website and application, and that’s true.

Think of a website or application as a restaurant.

The front-end (or the "face") of the website is the menu, the design, and the atmosphere. It's what the customers see and interact with. But, behind the scenes, the back-end (or the "kitchen") is where all the magic happens. It's where the orders are processed, the ingredients are prepared, and the dishes are cooked. Without the back-end, the front-end would not be able to serve any delicious dishes to the customers. But without the front-end, there may be a lack of relevance.

Either way, Miteyda.Startups will get you on the right track.

Keep in touch:)

There, caught you!

It’s the start of a new week and the perfect time to learn more about Miteyda.Startups, in particular, our services.
