Ah damn, expenses just piling on... Isnt there like a software service that can replace the accountant?

Thanks for the info though! Much appreciated! Where in Florida are you based? I was looking for moving to Austin or Miami or Jacksonville actually

Gusto is too expensive though, there must be something cheaper.

Thank you! Its just payroll for myself for now, the other founder is in Europe and does payroll from the legal entity there. Gusto is $40 a month, which when u take 1 year its like 500$ almost, which I dislike. So is there any cheaper way to do it? I dont think I can afford an accountant at the moment, and we dont have any operations yet and likely wont have any revenues until late 2021 or early 2022, so I dont think an accountant would be a great idea.

I was thinking of doing that too with the rent, but a lot of comments online suggest the IRS doesnt rly like that.

Yes, I am only going to pay myself minimum wage so I can cover living costs. It should be about $2.5K here near NYC, might actually move somewhere cheaper say Florida or Austin or smth.

Fesenjan is the meal of the gods. It looks disgusting but its one of the best dishes Ive had in a while. Its just magical how persians came up with it! Also Sohan and Lavashak are freaking amazing!

I had something very similar. 2 years went by where I visited over 30 doctors, and none of the public healthcare (UK) primary care and specialists had any idea what the hell was going. I took matters in my own hands, was doing blood tests by own research, googled everything I can find. Turns out I had hypogonadism, and had evidence of blood tests to prove it, and even then it took 3 more doctors to prescribe me TRT. Hope software replaces docs faster than lightning

We sell to gov institutions worldwide, essentially its best i move to each country we sell to but I have to be in the USA half of the year to maintain my green card.

Weather + Business. Startup climate. I need to build a network to fundraise for a seed round. Also gotta live cheaply.

I am mid 20s, cofounder is older based in Europe. We work remotely. No need to hire people anytime soon for anything critical, just some remote contractors from time to time.

Which cities do you recommend?

Thank you Davis! Your help is much appreciated! I also saw theres a cheap ferry going to the bahamas from miami so thats a huge plus as well! I also know those beaches are the best on the East Coast for surfing and nothing can beat that haha.

One question I have is whether part-time jobs are available in the area to fall back on in case my startup is cash-strapped? Jobs like uber and doordash and the sorts?
