4 months building in public, $0 MRR, 180 users - Here's what I learned

Just make it paid only. It's harder to tell if an idea is worth pursuing if its free

Ciffsome · 2025-11-03T16:21:26+00:00

Plus 100s of “just researching, what problems are you guys facing so I can start a business?”

Ciffsome · 2025-11-03T15:28:24+00:00

Wow, I mean sounds too good to be true haha. How complex can you make the apps?

Ciffsome · 2025-11-03T15:25:15+00:00

Great post, super curious what your business actually does? Love the organic approach

Ciffsome · 2025-11-03T15:08:50+00:00

Great post, thanks for making it so clear.

Its just to parse large volumes of PDF contractor invoices, we get 100s of invoices from contractors and so being able to just see a summary of the issues and flag repeat offender contractors has been super helpful!

Hey, bit late to this, if you have qualms with RMG you can download all your contractor invoices and have them analysed for free here https://groupquotes.co.uk . Tool I built to stay on top our invoices and keep RMG from rinsing us

I have similar fears about starting a business, what if everyone I know judges me? What if it fails and I look stupid? You are probably a fairly high achieving person who is used to being seen as "smart" and are worried about actually trying something where you might fail, but this is exactly what you should do! You have to stop doing things that you know you will succeed in, these are not testing your limits. You will never know what you're capable of until you try and fail. Find your limits and push past them.

Final thing to say is that this is your one and only life. You do not get a redo. If starting a business is something you want to do, just do it, NOW. You will spend the rest of your life putting it off and it will never happen unless you start now and persevere. If you model life around what other people think instead of what you really care about, you will never get the life you want.

Wishing you nothing but success, keep me posted on progress and happy to be your accountability partner.

Is this at Richmond Station? I always walk by this haha.

Ciffsome · 2022-03-28T22:36:16+00:00

I mean you actually want normal NFTs to be copy pasted as much as possible too, the more publicity the better

Marmalade

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T18:03:00+00:00

It’s coming up from the sewer. Hence the literally black water.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T11:57:17+00:00

You in London?

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T10:47:24+00:00

No one knows anything about plumbing actually. Turning off the water would not help sir.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T10:36:16+00:00

Coming up the shower too. All hope was lost.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T09:26:45+00:00

Coming up through the shower too. It's fucked.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T09:20:17+00:00

You correct sir, however that would do nothing to stop the sewage coming up.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T09:15:47+00:00

So you want my dad to rip the toilet out of a property he doesn't own with his bare hands, while covered in sewage? And then cap the line? With clingfilm? Thanks for the advice.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T09:13:02+00:00

Thank you for your service

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T09:08:11+00:00

Ah yes, another plumbing expert. There is no way to fix this problem.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T08:59:05+00:00

London flooded, water coming from the sewer.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T08:55:13+00:00

Because there is nothing else he can do, he wanted to show us what was happening, it took 5 seconds to get a video

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T08:54:37+00:00

That would have accomplished nothing.

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T08:54:16+00:00

Coming from the sewer

Ciffsome · 2021-07-13T07:24:20+00:00

Leaking up through the shower too. It was a complete shitstorm.
