I have been working on my startup for a while. I am the only founder right now and just an 18-year-old.
The product is really nice and helpful for them and saves them time, they say, but the problem isn't with the product; it's with the risk that comes with it, which is big, and we don't have any compliance yet.
I calculated and everything seems to cost about $40-80k.
I applied to YC and some other accelerator, but very thin chances with how competitive it is. What are other options to get out of this spiral?

So been a while since I was solving my dad's business problem, fixing his back office system (Invoices, Payrolls, HR) using agents that are simple chat-to-do work, no fancy complicated tool box, just get outcomes. It just automates, so thinking if I could turn my dad's problem into a real startup. It's been working for my dad, but I don't know

You can log in to our portal, ask if you need to calculate payroll, and it will do it. Then you can schedule it in less than 3 minutes.
So the result was that my dad used to spend like 2 hours every month doing payroll, now it takes about 2 minutes. It does similarly for taxes, employee management ,etc.

Not promoting. Just a question: would you pay or not?

Hi, so I have been working on my own startup for a while, applied to YC, but I am solo and It's hard to manage I am somewhat technical the idea of this startup came from solving my own dad's problem so yeah but idk where to find someone who is serious and I won't be weird with less equity giving or shit 50-50 for each of us so yeah. pretty much. It's very hard to find someone who is serious. I have a clear startup idea that actually aligns with YC RFS of this summer, too.
