Look at your favorite VC’s websites and they usually list their portfolio companies. Find some companies that interest you.

Then go to the company’s website and look for postings or email them and tell them you're interested.

You have to test restoration as part of SOC 2, so most companies with real customers do it at least once a year.

Just be careful of inventions assignments. If you live in the US you probably signed paperwork that says anything you invent or create is property of the company you work for.

If you signed one of these and hack on the side… successful business could be owned by your previous company.

You can always ask that they release the IP which requires the lawyers to officially sign it over to you.

Before you quit your job make sure you own it.

Alpine is also based on MUSCL rather than glibc which generally has fewer well known CVEs which helps from a security standpoint.

How many total shares have been issued?

What’s the fully diluted number?

How many shares am I getting?

Those are the important questions.

Assume you get diluted for every fund raise.

Here’s what you do. Come up with an MVP that does one very common workflow for your target market. Choose any market you’re familiar with.

The MVP workflow needs to be good enough that cold outreach would respond. “Oh I do that in my day job, I’ll take a look”

Then demo to them.

They will tell you why they can’t or won’t buy. They will say it needs X or Y or they will ask questions, “can you integrate with Google sheets?” You’ll probably do 50 of these and most won’t buy… but they will tell you either directly or indirectly why not. Now focus on removing the road blocks.

Just keep implementing features until the questions people have are already answered in the demo. People stop asking about features and start asking about pricing.

That’s the path I’ve taken and seems to work well.

You claim it as IP that is previously developed when you start the new job or you submit it to your current employer and get an IP exclusion.

I’ve done both with no issues.
