Stop building sandcastles aka How to properly bootstrap your startup - Part 1
At Kalvad, we are nerds, and proud to be, but it's not because we are nerds, that we are asocial. The problem we all faced whenever we say we work in IT in a discussion, is someone saying: "I have an idea for a startup".
Sometimes I hear some ideas that I find very ... ahem ... interesting (like the Uber of Tombstones), but sometimes, I meet founders which already have a MVP, got charged thousands of dollars, but do not have a proper setup. Many times, we explained our recommendations verbally, but it's time to have an article and share it with the world.
As a serial entrepreneur, I want to launch a company with a purposeful intent to offer an advanced and easy-to-use platform to purchase high-quality eye wear at affordable prices, creating a unique, efficient, and memorable shopping experience to all.
I have the idea, I need a name. As you know, we are based in Dubai, and it's going to be easier to launch our product locally, at least in a first step. So the name we want عين or as written in English euyin means eye in Arabic. I can now go to my favorite DNS registrar: Gandi.net. I enter the name of my company, and I see that the .com is already taken. But euyin.online is available, for a good price (7.25 USD/year). I create an account, and I order it, without any additional services like mail or security.
