Hi everyone, Using throwaway account here and you’ll see why. I am a high school teacher at a private boarding school in French speaking Switzerland. This year I have been fed up with my job and despite living here for 4 years as a permit B eu national, my French isn’t good enough to teach in public school. Last month I got fed up with my students not studying or using AI to cheat on their assignments so I built an app that solves this. It’s live on the web. Currently working on putting it on the App Store. Then I started working on other apps to help people with various challenges and thinking how I could help students and teachers use AI as tools rather as things to do all their thinking for them (that way of using AI does rot your brain). So some of my friends decided to help out and jump in. There are 5 of us now spanning across 3 countries with me being based in Switzerland. We are working on three apps and on building a service for schools to help so adoption in a responsible way. We haven’t sold anything or made any money yet. I’m at the point where we need to figure out what to do legally. We all have full time jobs and are doing this on a side as a project that we all believe in. I really don’t know who to talk to or where to get advice from, worried if I register this as a business it will cost a lot of money and if we fail and make no money it might cause more legal costs to close this down. Also if I register this as a company I would have to ask my boss for permission and he is a jerk and will likely say no. This year I have tried switching jobs but the market is super harsh and even for prompt engineering I’m not sure if anyone will hire me as I don’t have computer science background. Should I just quit my job go on chomage and try my best to get this off the ground, I don’t know if that’s possible and I never quit my job before. TLDR: accidentally made a startup who do I talk to for advice, how would registering it work? Could I quit my job and get chomage to start working on this to get it off the ground? Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/Professional-Ad-2365
