So I have an idea, I identified the problem and the solution, I have the prototype, I'm working on the MVP.
I roughly know some of my potential clients.

What I don't have:
1. Team - suggest places where I could recruit people. I tried job boards, but I only got a ton application from newbies, when I need someone serious who will work for me for free, initially.
2. Money - where do you look for investors in crypto projects?
3. Followers - what stage is the right moment to start promoting a project?

Creating a project like this is not going to be easy, it requires hard work to be able to achieve success in it. And it’s not just about hard work, you also need funds to be able to push the project forward, because there are times you’re going to need to run paid promotions on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook and Twitter to be able to get followers to your page to support and invest in it.

If you do follow other big cryptocurrency institutions or companies closely you will notice that they are steady doing paid promotions. Then you can also start with this bitcoin Forum, and also on Reddit. And don’t forget LinkedIn, that’s where you’re more likely to meet like minded people who are ready to invest.

Give me advice. (This is serious btw.)

First of all your second and third priorities should be reversed, you should seek followers and than look for investors and money, as for a team you need to find like minded people who are willing to help you in your project, the way i did it is i had a couple of friends that i proposed the general idea of the project and they helped me out, even with a small team of three poeple you can do and the skills you don't have you can learn, and for the followers and money there are a lot of startup websites where you can post your idea and share it with the world and whoever is intressted in it can donate.

Am I the only one who believes this will likely not end well when project owner decides to pick team members from people online without knowing them before? There is always conflict of interest along the line with this type of arrangement and this is why most projects fail woefully and turn to exit scam. I will suggest you look for team members among those around you or at your place of work if you have a regular job.

To start a crypto project, in my opinion, the most crucial thing is to build a team, most projects don't go according to plan, because they do not
have a solid and reliable team. I agree that the project owner should choose a team not from online whose personal data is difficult to know.
Look for team members who are around us, such as friends, neighbors, and family. With team members we really know the character and
personal data, it's easier for project owner to work with them.

That is exactly the point I made there. It will not be good for OP to ask for investors money with a set of uncoordinated and unreliable team members only for them to disagree along the way and then abandon the project midway. Investors will suffer loss when this happens and I have witnessed it happen a lot of times. Most times the team leader will want to deliver but the rest of the team may want to run with the cash once ICO or listing is completed by dumping on investors.

1. Expect that you would get offers from noobs and considering that they would work for free then its unusual that theres someone who pm'med you as if that people wouldnt really care since they wont really be getting paid for the job that they do. Nothing is free on this world dude.
2. Ideas would remain ideas if its not materialized and if you do tend to create one and tend to make some crowdfund then it would vary on how
splendid your idea was but most of investors are smart nowadays and wont make out any investment if the project hadnt make out any start up or initial progress.
3. Marketing would be next in line but put this one in least priority for now.

For securing funding, the most common approaches would be venture capitalists or crowdsourcing. You could use a search engine to find VCs (venture capitalists) who will look at your proposal and decide whether or not to fund it. Kickstarter and crowdfunding platforms are another option.

Good people and good workers could be the hardest things to find.

Depending on tasks you need accomplished, it is possible amazon mturk could be a viable platform for finding workers.

Followers can be acquired by having a social media presence on the typical platforms and releasing content.

To be honest, if you are looking for people for free who will work for you then most likely it isn't gonna happen. Expecting funds for such as project from the forum's investors also a wrong decision. There is a fact of trust you know. So for that, you need real-life investors. For the marketing, you need an initial investment as well. If you don't have enough funds then your dream wouldn't happen true. Even you are wondering to raise funds from your project, also you need an initial investment. Nothing is free in the world. Keep in mind marketing is the key to your success. So you need a huge amount for marketing as well. I will suggest just look for private investors nearby you to whom you can explain your plan.

First of all if you do not have any money, you are not going to have a project, simple as that. Anyone who dreams that they could build a project without any money at all, they are wrong and they are dreaming, it won't happen at all. What you need is money and without money you can't do anything in this world.

First you need to put up your own money, get a simple "idea" made on website or wherever you want, then you knock on investors doors, try to find them everywhere because they ARE everywhere, telegram groups, twitter, friends and family if you have to, and when you have a simple website that explains what you are doing, they will come, if the idea is good they will invest and if the idea is bad then they won't invest. After you got the money, there is nothing left, just use that money to get that MVP out and then you will start making profits.

Best idea to recruit people and the most important thing is to hiring trustworthy people because there were many projects failed because some team member tried to get some advantage. Also, you will need to recruit people for 2-3 months for a testing period and check if they really know their job, try checking LinkedIn for it.
Regardless of these three questions you asked, I'll say something that will answer your questions. Try to have unique and useful idea, many crypto projects are not really doing anything. Having unique will attract people into your project and that's how you will gain more investors and more followers.

First, you need to have money to start your project.
Second, you can select your team from people you know and who can help you, then you can recruit people from here or out there. It is better you know people that you recruit.
Third, if you don't have money, you need to work to convince the investors around you that your project really has a bright future and what the investor can get when investing in your project hard.
Forth, start your project and try to introduce the project to the public to know what your project is all about, and if they interest, they will invest in your project.
Fifth, it is not easy to start a new project because that needs a serious thing from you, and you can spend most of your time working hard on the project.

Perhaps, you can gather people or friends around you and tell them about your project. From that way, I think they can suggest something, and that can give you a solution to your problem.

I always wondered - how real startups do this?

Do real startups hire newbies for free, experts for free or experts for money?

Does anyone know any recent stories?

You can't underestimate newbies here because I think some newbies really have their skills in the crypto project, and that is not easy to know them by only open recruitment to the public. If you want to hire them, you can pay them per hour or daily, but you need to search for the right person.

I have a classmate that are doing a start up and I do think that you should probably focus on team and @swiftbits said, your network too. The network should consists of a lot of people of different background but mostly related to your project. Finding a team is difficult because of loyalty and the uncertainty of doing a start up plus you also have to have a lot of funds so you can pay for them.

Building Network is essential in starting your project; look for people close to you with the same interest; they can help you in expanding.
I'm not that skillful but would accept to work for free IF we can meet physically, sharing ideas and teamwork can be effective with a physical group meeting. I know we are restricted right now, but CoVID will be over soon.

Basically finding other people and marketing are two different things. But I'm sure that you needed most first finding the right people that will work for you that will share the same value and goal with what you're working at.
And then the marketing would come next, good luck for building your project and team.

Agree, you need to find the right ones that will stick to you for better or worse of the business venture, this will be hard though as you can't find it easily on friends or acquaintance, let alone a stranger. Focus on finding the people that you will work with first because it will be detrimental to the potential of your company.

He'll definitely going to have that good team. Some may not be the ideal but there will be folks that would join his board. As long as the interest are flocking together with him.
Even it will cost it small on his team or he's a tight budget. It's just about the vision and interest that one must have.

create a project that is needed at this time. Well, I can't give you any suggestions on what projects are good. however, think of a project that can make the tokens you create have a price that is difficult to drop, and continue to increase. Besides that, you also need a trusted team, and also the support of great people. never betray the trust that you have built, because many teams only care about their investors, but not for the people who have supported them since they were founded.

It's great that you have an idea and you are pursuing it. I'm just concerned about how you are tackling this.

Let's talk about this one by one.

If you are going to take someone in and you are not going to pay them, definitely the ones that are going to accept that are newbies. Don't expect to get a high-quality team if you are not going to pay them. Think of them as someone who has what you need and in order to get that, you need to give them something. For sure they are not working for free.

For the aspiring newbies, it can be a chance to give them the opportunity to work and have to have that experience. Why not give them a chance?

Quote from: haael on June 06, 2021, 02:03:06 PM

2. Money - where do you look for investors in crypto projects?

Do what other crypto projects are doing, form a team, and create your own ICO style or something. It's the best way to fund raise a project that is worth investing in. I believe if you have the capacity to change something in the world, you should do it. Even if it costs your personal money.

Quote from: haael on June 06, 2021, 02:03:06 PM

3. Followers - what stage is the right moment to start promoting a project?

I think this is done once you have laid out the necessary foundation of a project. Forming a website, roadmap, etc. Actual results are the best way to make investors see that it's worth investing in.

I hope this helps you in some way.

If you have the prototype, at the least, try it first to see if you can really solve the problem that you were trying to solve. You might want to look at LinkedIn for your human resources or you can ask your technologically inclined friends to create team with them. For money, you might want to do some grunt work yourself to fund your project and if you're lucky, your team might pitch in some money. The popularity will take the last priority, don't worry about it and just do the work needed.
