Frequently Asked Questions
A startup focuses on rapid growth and scalability, often seeking venture capital and aiming to disrupt markets. A small business typically aims for steady, sustainable growth and profitability without necessarily scaling to a massive size.
It varies greatly depending on your industry and business model. Some tech startups can launch with minimal capital through bootstrapping, while others may need significant funding. Many successful startups started with less than $10,000.
Consider going full-time when you have validated your idea, have some initial traction or revenue, and have enough runway (savings or funding) to support yourself for at least 12-18 months.
Not always, but having technical expertise on your founding team is crucial for tech startups. If you're not technical, consider finding a technical co-founder, hiring a CTO, or using no-code tools to build your MVP.
Ideas alone are rarely valuable—execution matters more. Focus on building quickly and iterating. Use NDAs sparingly (most investors won't sign them). Consider patents or trademarks only when you have something concrete to protect.
