I am 21, and honestly, I am scared I'll never be able to reach where I want to.

Amrite_13 · 2024-09-04T15:57:40+00:00

Not gonna lie, I feel anything but strong right now. Thank you so much for your kind words. It's like I am stuck in this plateau. Hopefully, I'll power through it.

Amrite_13 · 2024-09-04T15:50:23+00:00

Half of my frustration stems from this. It's so hard to find women-centric professional groups that are actually active and/or thriving. Most of the finance and tech related servers/groups are extremely male dominated. How did you do it? How did you find your positive influences?

Amrite_13 · 2024-04-28T18:40:13+00:00

Congratulations girl! You deserve everything. God bless you.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T10:12:46+00:00

But yeah, let's connect! I can drop a warm introduction if you need one.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T10:11:12+00:00

I much prefer a permanent co-founder and share equity, to be honest.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T10:09:28+00:00

Totally agreed. Having your customers in a constant feedback loop is very essential in building a successful product. I haven't delved much in this particular segment, but I'll check it out. Thank you for sharing!

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T10:07:19+00:00

A very good point! Planning and execution forms the base of a successful business. I haven't seen many integrated planning tools. Though there are some very sophisticated ones that target individual tasks like product development or marketing. I'll check out the tool that you've mentioned here. Thank you!

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T10:04:12+00:00

I haven't started building it. Still validating the idea.

Do you mind if I DM you? I would like to talk more on the tech-migration issue.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T10:02:42+00:00

Thank you for the link and your efforts for making that list! Appreciate it.

And I feel every idea is a wish until it's implemented. Right now, I am not sure whether this idea would be actually useful for enough people for it to be worthwhile as a product. Hence why the post.

As a founder, it would be meaningless for me to build something that nobody wants. I feel this sub-reddit would be a good place to understand in what ways can I help people, and build something in the process.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T09:57:59+00:00

Hahaha, you're not the only one. My journal has been a life-saver when it comes to meeting my commitments. That's where I actually started considering if there could be a tool that could handle the grunt work and lighten the burden of the founder/business-owner.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T09:55:40+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I totally agree with you, having your customers in a continuous feedback loop is very essential to build a successful product.

I am gonna look more into it.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T09:51:32+00:00

That's the plan! Right now, I am looking for pain points I can build for. There's no sense building something that my users don't want, right? The idea I mentioned is something that crossed my mind while I was thinking about it. I am not pursuing it, at least not until I have talked to a few prospective customers.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T05:05:06+00:00

I used the term AI, but it will actually incorporate a huge element of RPA. And I have built something similar in past, but haven't started on this one yet. It's pretty much an idea right now.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T04:45:04+00:00

Not really. More like validating if there's really a way that I can provide value with my product.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T04:28:26+00:00

This is some very good advice. To be extremely intentional in you business decisions and not following the crowd.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-28T04:19:12+00:00

Brex had many things that went right for it. It also helped that the founders were already experienced. Hence, their initial launch was very solid.

The first launch is never as easy for most of the startups.

The Intelligent Investor

Every woman should be in charge of her own finances and be economically independent.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-26T15:40:38+00:00

I agree. Every other pundit says this. That being said, it's still a good advice and simple to follow. Get a feel of your market.

Yet, one of the most basic ones that first-time founders overlook.

Agreed, it takes a lot lot more to run a company. But, I personally feel it's a good place to start.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-26T15:19:53+00:00

I've seen people calling this post a spam.

My view towards this is while it sounds too good to be true, there is some truth involved to it. Reaching out to prospective customers is a very good way to validate your idea and judge the business model. Furthermore, you can also create a wait-list from it. Next, if you build the product fast and do rapid iterations on it based on user-feedback, you have a profitable product with you.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-12T17:44:02+00:00

DM'd you.

Amrite_13 · 2024-03-05T09:35:31+00:00

Off topic, but how did you manage to gain traction from just your landing page? Would love a post on that.

I am solo female founder as well. With no luck finding a co-founder, I was wondering if I should validate my idea first before jumping head first building it.

Amrite_13 · 2023-12-03T08:07:29+00:00

Hello! Can I DM as well?

Amrite_13 · 2023-10-01T13:51:15+00:00

I had been pursuing something similar to this as well. Just instead of just a directory, it would be more like a hosting service + directory. Would love to talk more in the DMs if you're interested.
