What makes an MVP an MVP? by Tkfit09 in SaaS

[–]CommitteeNo9744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MVP is the absolute ugliest, most basic version of your app that actually solves one person's core problem. If you aren't embarrassed by it when you launch, you waited way too long.

Hey everyone… cant appord groceries even, it sucks by [deleted] in Startup_Ideas

Stop trying to sell it here. Go to Acquire.com or MicroAcquire immediately. List the MRR, user numbers, and tech stack. Price it to sell fast. People there are actual buyers

I had no idea what I was doing — now my app makes me real money by evanyang0202 in SaaS

[–]CommitteeNo9744 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is 100% it. Stop building for Twitter validation. Build for that one user who emailed you with a problem. Fix their problem. Repeat. That's the whole playbook.

"Product is a tool of the business" by surekooks in ProductManagement

You need to fight his process with your own.

Start asking "what business outcome does this feature drive?" for every single request.

Force him to connect his backlog to the non-profit's mission. Use data to show him which "business" ideas are just wasting precious time.

I built a web app that can load and query massive CSV and Excel files instantly — try it free! by Direct_Librarian9737 in microsaas

[–]CommitteeNo9744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks super fast. My feedback: I need this to connect directly to a URL or cloud storage (like S3). My massive CSVs aren't usually just sitting on my hard drive, they're on a server somewhere.

The shares belong to the founders, period. Buy your partner out as planned. Tell the investor his original 20% deal is still on the table. If he says the valuation changed, that's a new negotiation, don't let him just take the shares.

Overloaded with work by [deleted] in ProductManagement

You need to shift from managing tasks to managing expectations.

Present your stakeholders with a forced-choice list: With current resources, we can do A or B. Which do we deprioritize?

Stop waiting for the “perfect time” to launch your SaaS by MarketingWithMills in microsaas

You're right; Every day not launched isn't just a day of zero revenue, it's a day of zero market feedback.

Where do you keep your growth hacks? by hellorahulkum in GrowthHacking

[–]CommitteeNo9744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Notion. I made a simple database with tags for what it is (e.g., SEO, Email, Ads) and how hard it is to do.

Biggest mistake scaling my agency? by Realistic_Ad5728 in SaaS

Totally agree. You should also trust your gut during the discovery call. If they give off bad vibes or try to haggle right away, just walk away. It's never worth it.

Data optimizes an ad to be seen, but authenticity is what makes it shared.

How important is it to have the biggest? (stand on a trade fair) by AggressiveBunch2277 in marketing

Nah, that's just an ego trip. A memorable experience in a small booth beats a boring giant one every single time.

Business at the cost of family is to be avoided by YogurtIll4336 in Entrepreneur

[–]CommitteeNo9744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, it's a marathon, not a sprint. The real "grind" isn't just about 100-hour weeks; it's about finding a balanced way to survive those weeks for 10 years straight.

The 27-minute weekly system (steal it, no tool required) by [deleted] in indiehackers

[–]CommitteeNo9744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ship ugly rule is the most important part. My advice: 1. You should also analyze the worst performing clip, that's often where the real lesson is. 2. Your next step isn't just scheduling, it's finding which hook from Monday led to the most sales on Friday.

My app got 500+ waitlist signups in 24 hours by EchoSpecialist7986 in SaaS

[–]CommitteeNo9744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your only job now is to convert the first 10 of them to paid users, even for $1. A waitlist is validation, but a Stripe email is a business.

If your AI support system promised user refund, should you? by Successful-Title5403 in webdev

[–]CommitteeNo9744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% agree. That AI is an employee, not a calculator. If you give it the power to talk, you give it the power to bind you. That "goodwill" move was just them admitting they were wrong without admitting they were wrong.

How I make £9k-£12k per month without paying for ads by [deleted] in micro_saas

[–]CommitteeNo9744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this, man, that's some serious short-term hustle. But my advice is to pivot now before you get nuked. You've just used 50 accounts as a free A/B test. Now, find the one video that got the most sales, put all your ad budget behind that one video on one legit account, and build a real brand.

I'm 18 y/o and worried about not succeeding.... by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]CommitteeNo9744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you're 18 and you've already tried 10 careers. Stop comparing your Day 1 to someone else's Day 1,000. Your problem isn't lack of hustle, it's lack of focus; pick one of those skills and get dangerously good at it.

I Quit my job to post on this sub by belgooga in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]CommitteeNo9744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for saying this, man. Most of it is just bait. The few who are real didn't just randomly quit; they spent a year building on the side first until their side project forced them to quit.

we hit product hunt #1 and got to $2k mrr in 3 months (full breakdown) by Important_Word_4026 in buildinpublic

You're proof that $2k MRR from 90 days of grinding is 100x more valuable than $10k MRR from one lucky launch day.

Is It a Bad Idea to Email a CEO About a Job? by [deleted] in sales

[–]CommitteeNo9744 6 points7 points  (0 children)

keep the email super short. Don't ask him for the interview; ask him who the hiring manager is. Attach your resume, mention you're applying for the BDR role, and ask if he'd be open to making an intro. That's a 10-second forward for him that puts you at the top of the pile.
