On the road of entrepreneurship, I often regard Jack Ma as my spiritual leader. Everyone sees that I am very passionate about project roadshows and entrepreneurial sharing. In fact, this is my performance after watching a lot of chicken soup. I believe that there are many people like me, but it is not enough to be full of passion in starting a business. You need to be grounded in doing things.
Recently, I found that the keyword "technical partner" is very popular. I often see that a certain project lacks a technical partner in WeChat groups, Moments, and various third-party entrepreneurial social platforms. The contact information left behind is an opportunity to communicate with them. Among the majority of the people I came into contact with who wanted to find a technical partner, the most people were in these two states. The first one was rich, but they had no knowledge about the formation of a technical team. They thought they had a good idea and found a programmer. can be achieved. The second is that he has no money. He feels that the business model of his project is very good. No one has found this model for him. He wants to find a team or individual to help him develop products for free. There are also a few because they do not understand technology, and they want to find someone who understands technology to help them manage the project through a partner.
In fact, when setting up a technical team, it is very important to distinguish whether your project is a technology-oriented project or a business model + operation team-oriented product, because we can choose according to the product type and capital situation. Form a technical team. At present, it is difficult for most start-up projects to use technology as a barrier. Only the team is the ultimate core competitiveness. That is to say, if technology cannot become a product barrier and competitive advantage, we don’t need to spend too much time on it. When recruiting technical teams, it has become the norm that outstanding technical talents in the market have high salaries, long recruitment cycles, and few outstanding technologies. Even if recruited, the cost of raising a technical team is very high.
A few days ago, a good friend of mine told me that he was going back to his hometown in Qingdao. Since there was no suitable job in the local area, he asked me if I would starve to death by taking orders on the Programmer Inn platform full-time in the future, and I said no. My friend is an excellent back-end Java programmer with 8 years of work experience. Before that, he worked as an architect at Ctrip for two years, and then worked at Alibaba for a few years and then went to a startup company to be the CTO until now. In fact, there are many excellent programmers like this on the Programmer Inn platform. They all have rich development experience. Most of them have worked for well-known Internet companies, but for various reasons, they returned to their hometown and started full-time jobs. Freelance workers, and the entrepreneurial boom that has been negotiating for several years has led to a shortage of programmers, which has also led to the rise of domestic remote work. At present, the concept of employing people in Internet companies is changing, and the working methods of outstanding technical talents like my friend are also changing, creating a good employment environment for the teams currently preparing to start a business or starting a business in the Internet industry.
In the early stage of the business, in order to save the project development cost and project development cycle, I suggest to quickly form our own cloud technical team with remote equations. As long as our project requirements are clear, we can use one day to form a complete and excellent project on the Programmer Inn platform. The technical team develops products quickly, and each person has more than 3 to 5 years of work experience on average. The project development cost is calculated according to the actual workload, and the outstanding programmer is 600 yuan per day. For example, an APP front-end development requires 30 days of work, which is 18,000 yuan. If it is a programmer recruited by itself, according to the current market. Excellent developers from Internet companies have 3 to 5 years of work experience, and the average monthly salary is about 20,000. If it is a technical team, there are basic configurations such as product managers, project managers, UI designers, front-end, back-end and testing. The number of people requires hundreds of thousands of wages per month. In fact, many conventional APP development costs are more than 60,000 to 80,000 yuan, and it is very complicated to move an APP that exceeds 100,000 labor costs. Of course, only the remote work mode can be developed at such a low cost, and the cost of remote work mode development is at least 1/2 lower than that of recruiting a team and finding outsourced work.
In the early stage of the business, for some projects with low demand for product iteration, there is no need to recruit a technical team. We should put more money into the market. If a technical team spends more than one million yuan a year, that is It is difficult for a team to move, and we spend every penny on the edge to make it more important for the project to survive. If the funds are sufficient and the product meets the development needs, we will consider recruiting.
I often hold entrepreneurial activities, and I am often invited by various incubators and maker spaces to be guests to share entrepreneurial experience. I often tell everyone that if technology cannot become a product barrier and a competitive advantage in my entrepreneurial project, I suggest that you do not It is necessary to spend too much time recruiting technical teams, because finding a marketing team is more important, and we can build a technical team by working remotely. If your project development cost is 80,000 yuan, and you don't even have 80,000 yuan, then you can find 4 co-founders, each of whom pays 20,000 yuan. If you think there is no money for every 20,000, then find 8 people with 10,000 each, or 16 partners with 5,000 each. If you don’t have 5,000, you don’t need to learn from others to start a business for the time being, because marketing is more expensive.
In addition to hosting events as a guest, I once stood on Zhongguancun Street in Beijing and gave a passionate speech with a microphone. I said that we should change the concept and mode of employment of Internet companies. At that time, many people did not believe it, but they believed and tried to start a business. The entrepreneurial projects of those who do not believe are still doing well, and those who do not believe in their entrepreneurial projects still have only one idea in their minds, and they are still sending messages to find technical partners in the daily Moments and WeChat groups. When I said we were going to change the way programmers work to make remote work popular, many people didn't believe it at the time, but people who do believe now have a computer in their home office, in a coffee shop, or work while traveling to make money. At that time, I said that we wanted to make the cost of employing people lower, faster and better for enterprises. At that time, no one believed it. Some of the people who believed at that time saved hundreds of thousands of technical team costs every year, and the products could be launched quickly. Those who did not believe People, many projects are due to too much expenditure in the operation process, the new round of financing has no progress, and finally the capital chain is broken, and the door is closed. Finally, statistics show that the largest initial expenditure of entrepreneurial projects is the technology department.
Jack Ma said that in the new era, if you do not have changes, you will not be able to see, look down on, understand or keep up with your competition, and you will lose. Look farther, think better, and dare to try new things. Like you, others start a business with 300,000 yuan. After the product is developed and launched, another person still has money to survive in the market. You will recruit a technical team of 300,000 yuan. There is no money to develop a product after it goes live, that's the difference.
To - you who are ready to start a business or are starting a business!
