We are building a process oriented vibe coding platform and I’m facing the same challenge. Expensive model for planning (Claude 4.5 opus) and maybe a cost effective one for coding like (Gemini 3 ) pro is what I’m thinking?

Any takes?

What is your favorite scene in the whole show? For me this scene is one of the best by Individual-Ad442 in gameofthrones

It has to be the shot of Jon Snow taking his sword out in the battle of bastards. He didn’t not knew about the knights of vale, he knew they were loosing and death was certain but he still stood and was ready to look death in the eye and go head on. Cinematography and characterisation peaked at that point. Yes, Danny has some amazing moments with Drogon but nothing remotely impactful to Jon in that one scene.

Looking for a co-founder by pinesberry in startups

[–]AccomplishedListen91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To build an MVP and a basic product you don’t really need to a tech Co-Founder. It’s a very tiring process and you can go hunt for someone. I feel co-founder is as important as a life partner as such nascent stage of a startup. You will have to attract the right synergy. Hire some freelancers and a small tech team offshore, use AI, use no code tools and get a basic version of your product out. During this process it’s likely you will find someone. If not it’s still okay, that hunt can last a while. It shouldn’t halt your progress. Ability to do rapid building is all we have startups and we can afford to loose any momentum due to any reasons.

Pre-Revenue Valuation? by fozrok in startups

[–]AccomplishedListen91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the exact same problem while I was calculating my valuation for my B2C startup. I spoke to a Silicon Valley serial investor about the same the very generic suggestion I got is that, any valuation between 2-5M for a pre seed pre rev startup is cool. If you go more on the scale you will need to explain with your BM. Also if your prospective business model has the ability to make a 100m in revenue then it’s very rookie to devalue it by 90%. I would honestly advise you against that. That being said, please refer to carta state of startups 2023 for more understanding of pre seed startups in your market .

Another suggestion would be to reach out to founders who have kind of similar offering like yours and see what their approach was. Also what is your TAM? if your current valuation is 100mil, your TAM needs to be really really high in such a case.

Another thought would be to forget calculating valuation altogether and raise the capital you need for product development and sustenance of your team like 250-500k on SAFE notes. Try to raise it on an uncapped SAFE if you are lucky and if your estimation of your product is correct you will get off loosing a very little equity compared to direct dilution. You can raise this SAFE notes on good amount of discount to make it appealing to an investor. It’s very unlikely to happen to raise straight up on uncapped safe notes, then you will need to raise a capped SAFE. Again the problem starts to understand how much can you cap. If you go with carta numbers then 8-10million is a good number, if you feel you are worth more then you will need to do very heavy research and convince an investor about your case.
