franciscocosta··on Ask HN: Startup scene in Lisbon/Porto Portugal?
from Porto with love - https://tymr.com
franciscocosta··on Ask HN: What would you do?
I'm in Porto, Portugal. We are going through a financial crysis and the economy is on hold right now. I'm starting to look on other European countries. Didn't know about Brad Feld, thanks for the tip!
franciscocosta··on Ask HN: What would you do?
Glad you ask.. as you can see right now the service is fully operational but lots of improvements an new developments could be make. It's not a comfort zone problem because I'm constantly changing between the 2 areas, but I believe that this way I'm also failing in quality execution on both areas.

Thanks for the advice, it meant a lot!

franciscocosta··on Ask HN: What would you do?
You are right.. #2 (dev and sales) is already very difficult to accomplish and time consuming by only one person. Well, I'm asking this because I'm starting to feel that I need to take some funding to keep developing the product and the business. It's been becoming very difficult to keep focus on everything at the same time.
franciscocosta··on Ask HN: What would you do?
Not selling to make a living yet, just some occasional revenue. Do you recommend any funding company?
franciscocosta··on Ask HN: What would you do?
don't you think it would be pointless since its a one man startup?
