Choosing which ticket to purchase
We divide the tickets into 3 categories–Developer, Designer and Business. The intention behind this split is that for each successful startup you need a mixture of different skills. Not only that, but having a diverse team ensures that you can capture better different opinions and will avoid the familiarity trap where all the team members go in one direction and missing potential issues in the end.
Developer ticket
Developer ticket is for everyone who possesses technical knowledge and wants to work on technical tasks during the initialization of a startup. Those will be the people more involved in creating the prototype of the product or the service from a technical point of view.
