[QUOTE="coder101, post: 30770435, member: 568072"] Company already registered in Sri Lanka and Registering as an LLC in US Product ekak hadala eken immediately income enne nane bn. Ehemai kiyala intern ayage time eka waste kranna man kamathi na adu padiyata. Ekai ehema baluwe. Business model is building nearly around 100 SaaS products within 10years of time. Either run them long term or exit by selling with a profit. I am hiring 2-3 interns max. I have time to mentor 2 developers mchn. Thats all. I will hire probably 2 interns + 1 UI/UX. Not planning to get more than that. I am not working on any client products or these interns will not work on client products which runs in rush. All the products and Ideas are mine. I have enough budget to run the company for 1year with interns and I am okay paying for the interns from my pocket until any of the product become succesful and will hire more people based on income. Me kathawa attha mchn. I will see that. Mn ehema company ekaka wada karanne 😀 Lankawe ekak newei. Mta ona me culture eka ekka lankawe ekak hadanna. Scene eka mekai bn, godak company kranne client projects krana eka. Client projects kraddi itin clientge deadline hinda thamai marigena wada kranna wenne. Man recommend kranne ona developer kenekta awrudu 5k witara experience complete unata passe hoda product company ekak balala ekata yanna kiyala. ( product company hama ekama hodath na itin ) Ape company eke tiyenne api e wage rush eke yanawa aluth product ekak launch karanna kalin maasayak 2k hari, eka launch krala first 6 months wage hari wenakal. Oi time frame eke ambanak bug fixing and improvements thamai wenne. etapasse launch unamath customerslage feedback ekka yanawa. After around 6 months product eka stable wenawa godak welawata. etapasse api ganna data points kipayak tiyenawa userslata ona monawada kiyala. ewa base kran saha ape internal planning ekka features introduce kranawa normal pace ekakin. rush eke newei. release a feature -> take feedback -> see how it goes -> plan next wage thamai yanne. Anith godak welawata ape kisima rush ekak na, ape inna un krannona wada tika lassanata kran yano. Habai ape mehema ekak tiyenawa, samahara aya dawalta poddak gedara dewal walata involve wela ( podi ekawa school eken aran class daana eka wage ewa ) uge task tika poddak delay unoth, uu e tika eda rata karala danawa. Ape tiyenne week ekaka wenna ona wada tika. And team eka 6i inne. All are very honest and everyone has very good communication. This team built products valued more than 10M+ USD and sold. Previous company owner was a MF. He wanted to keep only me and one indian guy who did the admin work of the company. Gave me a huge raise. But I didnt like it, I lead the team, but its all team effort. So the whole team exited from that company and built a new startup in the same country and working remotely. That indian MF accepted the offer 😄 This is a very long story short. I just love working on small honest teams and building products. That is what I am trying to do here by hiring several interns at the start. :) I will let you know if I start this company mchn. I am still thinking on this. 😬 And I also have more than 50 resumes I got from students, who are looking for internships. Agreed with you machn. Dan oi internship scene eka oitath wada serious mchn. There are people running companies who charge students for giving internships. 😑 And most companies pay the minimum they can. There are people in Sri Lanka starting companies just to exploiting interns treating it as cheap labour. I know very reputed company in here who is charging the client for SSEs, but the project is done with interns and 1 SSE. Oka thamai thathwe mchn. Dan me Ai boom ekai lankawe athiwenna internsla inna ekai hinda godak companies internlwa sathekata ganan ganne nathi level ekata awith. Oke hit eka enne danma newei, thawa tika kalayak yaddi proper attitude, skills, time management tiyena unwa hoyaganna hena gemak denna wei. Mokada SSE la udin pahath wenne nane. Hoda SSE kenek hadenne hari flow ekaka, hoda environment ekaka gihinne. Man hire karaddi aniwaryenma balanne mchn communication, attitude, need to learn and grow mindset eka thamai lokuwatama. Anika kelinma test kranne basics. basics tika hariyata nathuwa wadak na. Technical skillsnm apita training ekakin hadanna puluwan oya qwa wagema. :) [/QUOTE]
