Ask HN: Starting a software business while employed full-time

1 pointsby bluebird0311almost 2 years ago
Hello HN community,<p>I&#x27;ve been nurturing an idea for a software product for a few months now, and I believe it has potential to grow into a sustainable business. The software product would fall under the geospatial industry. However, I&#x27;m currently employed full-time in Europe. I&#x27;m sure many of you have been in similar situations or have read &#x2F; witnessed someone navigating this path.<p>How did you promote your business &#x2F; brand while being employed full-time? I&#x27;ve seen few opportunities to speak at industry conferences, but ignored them due to being employed full-time.

What are you employed as?<p>If it&#x27;s as a software dev or in something similar to the geospatial industry, make sure your employment agreement&#x2F;contract allows for you to build your own products on the side...<p>That is a good first step...
