We launch our marketplace for sign-ups come July 17th and it is a challenge trying to allocate time to all the tasks of a founder as well as giving your time to loved ones. Does anyone else have this issue and how do you manage it?

You're needed aloooooot in the beginning of a startup. But less later. Instead of you making time for them. ask them to help you!

@sentry_co Great idea. They all are eager to be invloved in some fashion as we just launched The Marketplace for Everyday Professionals to supplement their Salary today for sign-ups. Check it out at TheCareering.com
My Co-Founder and I are looking for feedback from other Founders and builders as we are first-time Founders. Would love to hear your thoughts on everything from design, flow, idea, our solution, problem, and Marketing.

@divine_rivers1 Sure thing. My impression is that it's either information for students when the go into the workforce. Or it's a gig marketplace. It cant be both, so I would improve the communication on the landing page first and formost. Highlight your USP and make it c-r-y-s-t-a-l clear what it is. Or else users are gone in 2 seconds if they dont get it.
@sentry_co Thanks for the feedback, we will continue to tinker with marketing to ensure it's clear for all. To clarify we are a career exploration platform that allows students to book one-on-one time with everyday professionals to get the personalized career information they need to enter the workforce. By allowing college students to book time with them and sharing the expertise they have, professionals are able to monetize their time to supplement their Salary.
@divine_rivers1 That's your onliner: "We are a career exploration platform that allows students to book one-on-one time with everyday professionals" Now try to figure our how you are different from the competition. Your differentiator. Customers look for clarity and why you are different.

yess omg it is, I usually try to bounce out of gatherings and meetups after a short while because I want to get back to work , thankfully they are understanding though and as long as I allocate some time for them they won't complain
