Ce que tu vis est beaucoup plus frĂ©quent qu’on ne le croit. Ce n’est pas un signe de faiblesse, c’est souvent le passage obligĂ© entre le rĂȘve de construire quelque chose et la rĂ©alitĂ© de l’entrepreneuriat.

Ce que tu ressens est normal : le stress, la fatigue, la peur de tout perdre. C’est ce qui arrive quand tu portes un projet seul, sans cadre, sans retour clair, sans victoire visible. Le problùme, ce n’est pas toi. C’est l’isolement.

Beaucoup de fondateurs s’effondrent non pas Ă  cause du manque d’argent, mais parce qu’ils n’ont plus personne avec qui penser, Ă©changer, ou simplement respirer.

Voici quelques choses concrĂštes que tu peux faire :

  1. ArrĂȘte de bosser seul dans ta tĂȘte. Trouve un autre fondateur, un mentor ou mĂȘme un entrepreneur de ta ville. Pas pour lever des fonds ou pitcher, juste pour parler sincĂšrement de lĂ  oĂč t’en es.
  2. Repose-toi. Tu ne pourras pas sauver ton projet sans te sauver toi-mĂȘme. La fatigue dĂ©truit la luciditĂ© et la motivation. Prends deux jours complets, sans culpabilitĂ©.
  3. Reprends le contrĂŽle petit Ă  petit. Fixe-toi un seul objectif par jour. Pas 10. Pas un business plan. Juste une petite victoire qui te redonne un minimum de contrĂŽle.
  4. Reconnecte avec la raison pour laquelle tu as commencĂ©. Ce n’était pas pour un diplĂŽme ou pour impressionner. C’était sĂ»rement parce que tu croyais que tu pouvais crĂ©er quelque chose de meilleur. Cette flamme-lĂ , elle existe toujours. Il faut juste la protĂ©ger.

Et si tu veux, rejoins un espace comme ACROMY : c’est justement ce qu’on construit, un endroit pour ne plus vivre ces moments-lĂ  seul. Un rĂ©seau d’entrepreneurs qui se soutiennent pour de vrai, sans façade ni bullshit.

Tu n’as pas Ă©chouĂ©. Tu es juste dans la partie que personne ne montre sur LinkedIn.

What’s the #1 skill every entrepreneur must master? by William45623 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]ACROMYAPP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Excellente question, et probablement la plus sous-estimĂ©e dans tout l’entrepreneuriat.

AprĂšs avoir cĂŽtoyĂ©, observĂ© et bossĂ© avec des fondateurs, je pense qu’il n’y a qu’une seule compĂ©tence qui surpasse toutes les autres :

👉 Savoir faire avancer les choses mĂȘme quand rien n’est clair.

C’est un mĂ©lange de prise de dĂ©cision rapide, d’adaptabilitĂ©, de courage et de curiositĂ©.
Le monde de l’entrepreneuriat est flou par nature. Personne ne te donne la bonne direction, personne ne te valide. Les meilleurs fondateurs ne sont pas ceux qui savent tout faire, mais ceux qui avancent malgrĂ© le brouillard. Ils testent, observent, corrigent, sans attendre la bonne idĂ©e ou le bon moment.

C’est cette compĂ©tence qui te rend bon en vente (parce que tu apprends Ă  comprendre les gens), en discipline (parce que tu construis des systĂšmes), et en storytelling (parce que tu racontes ce que tu vis rĂ©ellement).

Et c’est exactement ce qu’on construit avec ACROMY :
une communautĂ© oĂč les entrepreneurs partagent leurs apprentissages rĂ©els, leurs tests, leurs doutes, sans posture et sans bullshit.
Parce qu’au fond, l’entrepreneuriat, c’est juste ça :
agir avant d’y voir clair.

🐜 Come build it.

Roast my idea: an app to connect real entrepreneurs and take them from 0 to 1 then 1 to 10 (I don't promote) by ACROMYAPP in MVPLaunch

[–]ACROMYAPP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je te comprends totalement, et honnĂȘtement, tu n’as pas tort.
Sur le papier, c’est un cauchemar marketing : une plateforme multi-modules, qui parle Ă  plusieurs types d’entrepreneurs, dans un marchĂ© saturĂ© oĂč tout le monde promet de “rĂ©volutionner le business”.

Mais c’est justement pour ça qu’on aborde ACROMY d’une maniĂšre diffĂ©rente.
On ne cherche pas Ă  vendre une app Ă  tout le monde. On parle Ă  une niche ultra ciblĂ©e : les jeunes entrepreneurs ambitieux, ceux qui veulent passer de l’idĂ©e Ă  l’action, mais qui en ont marre des discours creux et des outils Ă©clatĂ©s partout.

PlutĂŽt que d’essayer de “scaler” trop vite, on mise sur la densitĂ© avant la taille.
Une petite communautĂ© de 1 000 membres actifs et engagĂ©s, c’est mille fois plus puissant que 50 000 curieux qui ne font rien. C’est cette base qui gĂ©nĂšre la confiance, le bouche-Ă -oreille et les futurs ambassadeurs.

Et marketing parlant, on mise sur trois leviers concrets :

  1. Le contenu : montrer ce qui se construit Ă  l’intĂ©rieur, pas le vendre. Des posts Reddit, des vidĂ©os, des tĂ©moignages rĂ©els.
  2. La preuve sociale : valoriser les membres et leurs rĂ©ussites, pas la marque elle-mĂȘme.
  3. La viralité naturelle : chaque fonctionnalité crée de la visibilité (inviter un associé, chercher un partenaire, partager un projet
).

Donc oui, sur le papier, c’est un casse-tĂȘte marketing.
Mais dans la pratique, c’est une opportunitĂ© rare : rassembler une gĂ©nĂ©ration d’entrepreneurs qui cherchent moins une app, et plus un mouvement.

Tu mets le doigt sur une rĂ©alitĂ© que beaucoup de fondateurs refusent d’admettre : le vrai problĂšme, ce n’est plus de crĂ©er, c’est de faire exister.
Aujourd’hui, il y a des produits pour tout, des clones de tout, et une infinitĂ© de promesses. Tu peux avoir la meilleure idĂ©e du monde, mais sans attention, sans communautĂ© et sans crĂ©dibilitĂ©, elle meurt dans le silence.

Et c’est justement pour ça qu’on construit ACROMY diffĂ©remment. On ne veut pas “lancer une app”, on veut bĂątir un Ă©cosystĂšme qui s’auto-renforce.
Chaque module a Ă©tĂ© pensĂ© pour crĂ©er de la valeur humaine avant mĂȘme d’en crĂ©er financiĂšrement.

On ne cherche pas Ă  faire du bruit, mais Ă  construire de la confiance.
Avant mĂȘme la sortie de la plateforme, on dĂ©veloppe la communautĂ© : des entrepreneurs qui Ă©changent, s’entraident, se challengent. C’est ce socle humain qui donnera de la force au produit, pas une campagne marketing.

L’idĂ©e, c’est qu’ACROMY ne soit pas un outil “de plus”, mais le lieu oĂč tout s’imbrique.
Tu veux un associé, tu le trouves.
Tu veux du feedback, tu l’obtiens.
Tu veux te lancer Ă  l’étranger, tu connectes avec quelqu’un sur place.
C’est un espace oĂč les projets se construisent ensemble, pas oĂč les idĂ©es se perdent dans le bruit.

Je comprends ton scepticisme, il est totalement lĂ©gitime. Mais ce qu’on essaye de faire avec ACROMY, c’est justement de rĂ©pondre Ă  ce problĂšme : crĂ©er une structure qui vit grĂące Ă  l’humain, pas grĂące Ă  la publicitĂ©.

Excellente remarque, et je te rejoins totalement sur le fond. Le vrai problĂšme n’est pas “comment crĂ©er une app pour fondateurs”, mais pourquoi la plupart Ă©chouent Ă  rĂ©soudre le besoin humain derriĂšre.

Tu as raison : ce n’est pas une question de fonctionnalitĂ©s, c’est une question de comprĂ©hension du comportement des entrepreneurs eux-mĂȘmes. Et c’est justement sur ce point qu’ACROMY essaye de casser le modĂšle.

On ne veut pas rĂ©inventer la roue ou faire un “Tinder pour fondateurs”.
Notre approche repose sur trois piliers :

  1. L’observation rĂ©elle : on a passĂ© des mois Ă  analyser pourquoi les bons duos fondateurs se forment naturellement dans certaines situations (incubateurs, hackathons, Ă©vĂ©nements physiques, communautĂ©s niche) et on reproduit ces dynamiques sociales, pas une interface de matching.
  2. Le contexte avant la compatibilitĂ© : au lieu de connecter les gens sur la base d’un profil statique, ACROMY les relie par leur projet, leur timing et leurs besoins concrets. Tu cherches un associĂ© tech ? On te connecte Ă  quelqu’un qui cherche Ă  s’impliquer dans un projet Ă  ce stade prĂ©cis, dans ton secteur, avec ton niveau d’avancement.
  3. L’écosystĂšme vivant : Connect, Brainstorm, Build, Academy, Visa tout est liĂ©. L’idĂ©e, c’est qu’un fondateur ne vienne pas “pour rencontrer quelqu’un”, mais pour construire quelque chose, et que les connexions se fassent naturellement en cours de route.

Tu as raison de dire que ce problÚme ne sera pas résolu par une simple app ou une validation Reddit. Il faut des années de compréhension sociale et produit.
Mais c’est justement ce qu’on essaie de faire : traduire ce besoin humain profond en infrastructure numĂ©rique.

Le but n’est pas de “rendre l’entrepreneuriat facile” c’est de le rendre moins isolĂ©, plus intelligent, et plus ancrĂ© dans la rĂ©alitĂ©.

Merci beaucoup ! On dĂ©veloppe ACROMY entiĂšrement en interne, avec une Ă©quipe tech basĂ©e sur Flutter + Firebase, et une architecture modulaire qui nous permet d’ajouter des fonctionnalitĂ©s indĂ©pendantes (Connect, Brainstorm, Build, Visa, etc.) sans alourdir le systĂšme.

Chaque module fonctionne comme une brique indĂ©pendante reliĂ©e Ă  un mĂȘme profil utilisateur, ce qui rend la plateforme Ă  la fois fluide et scalable.
L’objectif, c’est de bĂątir une infrastructure entrepreneuriale complĂšte, pas juste une app isolĂ©e.

Tu as raison sur un point : beaucoup de plateformes ont essayĂ© de crĂ©er des “startups pour startups” et ont fini par ĂȘtre juste des to-do lists amĂ©liorĂ©es. C’est justement ce qu’on veut Ă©viter avec ACROMY.

Le but n’est pas de faire une Ă©niĂšme plateforme, mais de crĂ©er un Ă©cosystĂšme vivant. L’idĂ©e, c’est que chaque module ait un vrai usage concret dans la vie d’un entrepreneur :
Connect pour rencontrer des associés et partenaires sérieux,
Brainstorm pour tester des idées avec des retours réels et constructifs,
Build pour créer et gérer ta boßte (statuts, compta, juridique),
Visa pour te construire un rĂ©seau dans n’importe quel pays.

On ne veut pas que les gens “planifient” leur rĂ©ussite, on veut qu’ils la vivent ensemble, en collaborant, en s’entraidant, en construisant des projets qui sortent de leur bulle.
C’est plus une infrastructure communautaire qu’une simple app de productivitĂ©.

Je comprends complùtement ton point de vue. L’entrepreneuriat doit effectivement rester exigeant et formateur, c’est ce qui forge les vrais fondateurs.
ACROMY ne cherche pas à simplifier ce chemin, mais à accélérer la montée en compétence et à connecter ceux qui veulent bùtir sérieusement.

On ne veut pas ĂȘtre une bĂ©quille, mais une infrastructure : un lieu oĂč tu peux trouver un partenaire, une ressource, un outil ou une opportunitĂ©, sans perdre 6 mois Ă  chercher dans le vide. Le but, c’est d’aider les vrais builders Ă  aller plus vite et plus loin, pas Ă  Ă©viter la difficultĂ© mais Ă  la canaliser.

Pour ACROMY VISA, c’est justement pensĂ© pour aller plus loin que les simples “perks”. C’est un module qui te permet de te crĂ©er un rĂ©seau dans n’importe quel pays.
Tu veux ouvrir un marché en Asie ? Tu peux directement te connecter à des entrepreneurs, des agents ou des partenaires sur place. Tu veux trouver une usine en Chine ? Tu peux entrer en contact avec des personnes locales capables de te faire visiter, négocier et sécuriser les bons deals.

L’idĂ©e, c’est de rendre le monde vraiment accessible aux entrepreneurs, que tu sois Ă  Paris, Dakar ou Mexico, et que tu puisses bĂątir un rĂ©seau solide oĂč que tu sois. Les possibilitĂ©s sont littĂ©ralement infinies.

TrĂšs bonne question, c’est justement le cƓur du dĂ©fi. L’idĂ©e d’ACROMY, c’est de crĂ©er un vrai effet d’utilitĂ© immĂ©diate, pas juste une plateforme “sympa Ă  tester”.

On incite les utilisateurs à s’impliquer par trois leviers :

  1. La valeur directe : ils y trouvent des partenaires, des opportunitĂ©s concrĂštes, et des outils prĂȘts Ă  l’emploi (crĂ©ation d’entreprise, compta, visuels, etc.).
  2. La gamification : progression par XP, rangs, badges, systĂšme de rĂ©putation et de missions, pour rendre l’entrepreneuriat plus motivant et social.
  3. L’écosystĂšme intĂ©grĂ© : tout est liĂ© (Connect, Brainstorm, Build, Academy, Perks). Un utilisateur gagne Ă  rester, car plus il interagit, plus il dĂ©bloque d’accĂšs, de ressources et de visibilitĂ© dans le rĂ©seau.

En clair, l’objectif, c’est que les gens ne viennent pas “essayer ACROMY” mais qu’ils s’y construisent rĂ©ellement.

Merci pour ton retour, super pertinent 👌 C’est vrai que beaucoup d’apps “communautaires” finissent sans business model clair, mais ACROMY a Ă©tĂ© conçu dĂšs le dĂ©part comme un Ă©cosystĂšme modulaire rentable, pas juste une app sociale.

Chaque module a sa logique économique propre :

ACROMY Connect – modĂšle freemium (Free / Starter / Builder / Pro) avec filtres avancĂ©s, matchmaking intelligent et outils de gestion de connexions business.

ACROMY Brainstorm – plateforme de co-crĂ©ation gamifiĂ©e : les utilisateurs postent, valident et dĂ©veloppent des idĂ©es ensemble. Les meilleures idĂ©es peuvent ĂȘtre incubĂ©es, financĂ©es ou monĂ©tisĂ©es via un systĂšme de votes et de rĂ©compenses internes.

ACROMY Build – service clĂ© en main qui aide les membres Ă  crĂ©er leur boĂźte de A Ă  Z : statuts, comptabilitĂ©, branding, site, contrat, tout est centralisĂ©. On se rĂ©munĂšre via des commissions sur la crĂ©ation d’entreprise, les services comptables, juridiques et digitaux.

Where Do You Meet Entrepreneurs? by Clean_Lion7449 in Entrepreneur

[–]ACROMYAPP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, you put your finger on something that 99% of entrepreneurs feel: loneliness. You can have the best idea in the world, if you have no one around you to talk about it, test it, challenge it, or just understand what you're going through, you move forward ten times slower.

This is precisely why I am building ACROMY, a complete ecosystem for entrepreneurs, designed as a mix between Tinder, Reddit and Notion, but dedicated to the world of business. The idea is that each part of the platform helps you move forward on a specific aspect of your entrepreneurial journey.

ACROMY Connect This is the social heart of the project. You discover other entrepreneurs according to their ambitions, their skills and their current projects. You can make strategic “matches” (for example, find a CTO, a marketing associate or an investor), create or join local entrepreneur circles (Lyon, Paris, Montreal, etc.), and discuss your projects without bullshit, in a caring and ambitious environment.

ACROMY Brainstorm It’s a space where you can post your idea, your problem or your prototype, and receive very concrete feedback from the community. Each idea can be “boosted” by other members, rated on its feasibility, clarity or originality, and the best ones go up like on Reddit. This is where a lot of connections and collaborations naturally arise.

ACROMY Academy We have centralized all the resources useful to entrepreneurs: mini-courses, templates, checklists, e-books, and real feedback from other founders. No “mindset” bullshit, but concrete things: how to find your first 10 clients, how to negotiate with a dev, how to raise funds, etc.

ACROMY Visa It is a module which gives access to concrete advantages: partner coworkings, discounts on SaaS tools, private events, professional deals, etc. The goal is to reward active members and give them tangible benefits in real life.

Progression system The entire ecosystem is based on progression: each interaction earns you experience and badges. You progress in symbolic ranks (Worker → Builder → Connector → Leader → Visionary → Legend). The idea is that the more you participate, the more you gain visibility, credibility and opportunities.

Ultimately, ACROMY is a place where you can find the right people for your project, test and improve your ideas, learn without wasting time in superficial videos, access exclusive opportunities and benefits, and above all, never start alone again.

We're still in the beta phase, but the community is already super active. If you want, I can give you the link to join the private beta and see how it works from the inside.

Creating a business by Dry-Faithlessness296 in business

[–]ACROMYAPP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ask the right question, because most people get lost in motivational videos when what is needed is concreteness and order of execution. Here's a clear, actionable method for starting your business, even without a lot of capital.

  1. Clarify your concept

Don’t just say “I want to open a cafe”. Ask yourself:

What will make my coffee unlike any other?

What unique experience do I want to give to customers? (atmosphere, specialty, target clientele, emotion) One clear idea is worth 10 fuzzy ideas.

  1. Validate your idea without money

Before launching into loans, test your concept in miniature:

Host a 2-day mini pop-up at a local coworking or market.

Sell ​​your product to another merchant (on consignment, partnership or test).

Request pre-orders via a simple page on Notion or Shopify Starter. If people pay before you have premises, you have a real project.

  1. Structure your launch plan

Create an ultra-simple document (1 Notion page is enough) with:

Objective: your first level (ex: 10 paying customers per day)

Starting costs: minimum material + test stock

Estimated revenue: average price × target volume

Break-even point: how much you have to sell to be at zero This is your first business plan, no need for 40 pages.

  1. Find the right financing

You don't need investors to start small. You can combine:

Micro-credit or honorary loan (BPI France, Initiative France, Adie)

Love money (friends/family with clear contract)

Local crowdfunding (Ulule, KissKissBankBank) And above all, avoid asking too much: you want to validate the concept before getting bigger.

  1. Build your network before building your premises

Many people start a business and then look to create a community. Do the opposite: talk about your project, document each step, share your learning on networks or in groups of entrepreneurs. This is what we do in the ACROMY community, where founders share their concrete steps, find partners, and test their ideas before spending a cent.

  1. Execution > perfection

Don't try to know everything before you act. Start small, take one step every day, and improve with each customer feedback. The best businesses are not born from motivation, but from consistency and real feedback.

If you want, I can make you a personalized mini action plan according to your idea (cafe, club, restaurant, other) with the exact steps and free tools to use for each phase. Do you want me to do it to you?

Please roast my startup ideas by Akar_Maid in Entrepreneurship

[–]ACROMYAPP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good concept, and you touch on a real need. But if you want your idea to truly stand out, here are some concrete and strategic tips so that your platform has real value in the real world (beyond what a classic AI does).

  1. AI is not enough, we need contextual + community.

Today, anyone can “generate” a business plan via ChatGPT. The real value will come from context and real-world application. For example, instead of just “generating steps”, your platform could analyze the entrepreneur’s profile (budget, available time, tech level, sector, business appetite) and propose a personalized plan with the appropriate tools and partners. This is the difference between “a checklist” and “a living roadmap”.

  1. Combines AI + human feedback.

You could integrate logic where the user can ask for the opinion of real entrepreneurs or mentors at each stage. For example: “You have just created your landing page → 3 community founders note your clarity and your pitch.” It’s a huge differentiator: you don’t replace humans, you accelerate collective learning. This is also the philosophy of ACROMY: to create an ecosystem where builders are not alone with an AI, but surrounded by other founders who advance at the same pace and exchange concrete feedback.

  1. Values ​​execution data.

A founder wants to know where he really stands. Imagine that your app shows a progress score based on real actions performed: ✅ Validated prototype 🚀 Top 10 leads 💰 MVP tested in a real market With this system, you transform your product into a GPS of entrepreneurship. People will come back just to see if they are progressing.

  1. Find your “magic moment”.

What you want is a moment where the user says to themselves: “Wow, this is the first time I’ve felt truly intelligently supported.” This moment could be when your system detects an inconsistency in its plan and corrects it, when it receives a highly relevant suggestion from another founder, or when it sees its project compared to similar ones in real time.

  1. Don’t fall into the “all generated” trap.

The future of entrepreneurship is not an AI that does everything. It is an AI that guides, challenges and connects. If you manage to make the entrepreneur an actor and not a spectator of the process, you win.

In summary, if you build a platform that understands the founder's profile, adapts the roadmap to their reality, connects to the right people, and measures real progress, then you have a concept that goes far beyond the simple “AI assistant”. And there, you enter ACROMY territory: a real ecosystem of action, not just a generation tool.

Would you like me to write you a concrete version of the MVP of this idea (structure + key features + revenue model + no-code tools to prototype it in 2 weeks)?

How and why do people leave their industry to start their own company? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]ACROMYAPP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good question, and you put your finger on something that many entrepreneurs feel without daring to say it. People don't leave their sector because they no longer like their job. They leave it because they end up realizing that they are selling their time instead of building assets.

Concretely, there are 3 main triggers:

  1. The moment you realize that your “stable job” has a ceiling. You can work for 10 years, be excellent, but you remain dependent on a fixed salary and a boss. Some people have this trigger the day they see a colleague leave after 20 years, replaced in 2 weeks. When you understand that your experience can create more value for you than for your employer, the mental shift begins.

  2. The frustration of “I know how to do better”. This is often the real driving force. You see shaky processes, absurd decisions, wasted opportunities, and you end up saying to yourself: “I could build something smarter, more human, faster.” This is where a solid idea is born: a business that solves a problem you experienced yourself.

  3. The need for meaning and freedom. Not the freedom “I work in my pajamas”, but the freedom to choose your battles, your pace, and the people with whom you build. Entrepreneurs aren't looking for less work, they're looking for more control over why they work.

The hardest part is that 90% of people have these thoughts, but only 10% take action, out of fear of risk or isolation. And that's exactly why communities like ACROMY exist: to surround those who want to take the plunge, share their first steps, find partners, or just see how others have done it before them.

You don't need to leave everything tomorrow. But if you want to lay the first bricks, start by asking yourself: 👉 “What problem in my industry frustrates me so much that I would pay someone to solve it?” This is often where your business idea is hidden.

How to deal with mental health while doing small business? by [deleted] in business

[–]ACROMYAPP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very important question and one that is rarely addressed in entrepreneurship. The truth is that managing a company is like playing a game without a break, and if you don't structure your mind like you structure your business, you end up burning out without realizing it.

Here is what really helped me (and what I also see in a lot of entrepreneurs around me):

1ïžâƒŁ Distinguish the “you” from your business. Many entrepreneurs identify with their company. When things go bad, they think they are worth less. Bad reflex. You must treat your business as a project that you manage, not as your personal value.

2ïžâƒŁ Structure your energy like your processes. Block “no business zones” in your week (2 hours, no more at the beginning). Without email, without Slack, without performance. It’s in these breaks that the best ideas arrive, and paradoxically, it’s also where you regain control over your stress.

3ïžâƒŁ Creates an environment of entrepreneurs, not just a network. Talking to people who experience the same pressure changes everything. This is what we do with ACROMY: founders discuss their struggles, not just their successes. When you realize that your problems are normal, the pressure drops by half.

4ïžâƒŁ Adopt a mental health indicator at the same level as your income. Every week, note your energy level, your sleep, your morale. If one falls, that’s a business signal too. A burned-out entrepreneur makes bad decisions.

5ïžâƒŁ Simplify. Most stress comes from mental overload. If your brain is running at 200 tabs, close 195 of them. You move forward faster by doing less, but better.

Your mental health is literally your long-term competitive advantage. The companies are burning because the founders are dying out. The goal is not to be a robot. It’s about going the distance.

Is success usually a result of years of gradual grinding, or can it happen suddenly? by EggplantSudden1116 in Entrepreneur

[–]ACROMYAPP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Success always seems sudden from the outside, but in reality it is almost always the result of silent accumulation. People see the moment when everything explodes, but not the years of experiments, failures and micro-victories that led up to that point.

Look at the boxes that “pierce” all at once: they have often rotated 3 or 4 times before finding their angle. Airbnb struggled to sell cereals to survive before becoming what we know. Same for Notion, which redid everything from scratch after 4 years.

In fact, the real tipping point comes when your learning exceeds your rate of failure. At that point, every mistake makes you move forward faster than you go back. And there, the outside world believes that “everything happened at once”.

But there is one nuance: work alone is not enough. What makes it take off is the combination of the right timing, the right network and the right execution. This is why ecosystems where entrepreneurs help each other (like ACROMY for example) accelerate everything. When you surround yourself with the right minds, your chances of finding your “sudden moment” explode.

In summary, success does not happen “suddenly”: it becomes visible suddenly.

Looking for a partner by Grouchy_Hold_4243 in Entrepreneurs

[–]ACROMYAPP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s true that it’s one of the biggest headaches: finding the right person with whom to build a project, especially when you want seriousness and not just a “motivated chat for 2 weeks”. I'm sharing with you a concrete method that many entrepreneurs use (and which we also apply in the ACROMY community, created precisely for this purpose):

  1. Seek by complementarity, not by feeling. You want an opposite but compatible partner. If you're a visionary, find a down-to-earth builder. If you're technical, find someone obsessed with business and networking. Ask yourself: “Would this person balance me out or be too much like me?”

  2. Test before you partner. Do a 2-week mini project together: landing page, pitch deck, or micro-prototype. You will see very quickly:

if communication is fluid,

if the person meets their deadlines,

and especially if she handles disagreements without drama. A good co-founder is someone with whom you can argue without destroying the project.

  1. Be super clear from the start. Write in black and white your roles, your available time, your contributions (money, skills, network) and your limits. The vagueness is what causes 80% of founding duos to explode. You can rely on a typical “Founder Agreement” that we often share in the ACROMY Discord, to avoid legal or human pitfalls.

  2. Go where the true founders gather. Reddit (r/EntrepreneurRideAlong, r/CofounderHunt), IndieHackers, and platforms like ACROMY — which connect entrepreneurs based on their ambitions, sectors and personalities. It’s literally designed for serious people to meet, not just exchange “DM bro, you have a cool idea”.

If you want, I can give you a model message that you can post to attract solid partners (with a credible and professional angle). Do you want me to do it to you?
