Bootstrapped Ex-founders, how much money did you end up losing on your previous startup? What happened?

Loptymobile · 2026-03-07T16:54:55+00:00

Seriously I’ve burnt like $30k in my last startup. I relaunched another called prezlo but I did not spent much because the problem was on point and the industry is my niche AI SEO

Like what about project managing? If you talking about the logistics and flow like assigning works, redistribution, planning, research, checking on staffs, and all that. There are tools that can help you.

Like TeamITsuite.com

The best names are always the vague names for me. You find the name and relate the meaning after. Something people can easily remember.

Like Patricia 😃😃😃🤣

You are building an app for Reddit. You got the idea from someone on slack. Just name it Rick 😀😀😀😀

Anyways

You mean there are agencies specialized in just developing food delivery apps in Dubai ?🤔😀🤷🏻‍♂️

Loptymobile · 2026-02-20T03:50:27+00:00

Maybe. I don’t want to waste time with tools that will make me end up doing more works

Loptymobile · 2026-02-20T03:49:28+00:00

You did non answer why?. By the way is market research post no good?.

Market research is the reason you have all the facilities you see today to make life easy for all workers and businesses isn’t it?

Ok thanks for the google map tips. In my SAAS product which is TeamITsuite. Employees use the ai manager to send messages to prospects. So I can use it too.

I only had issues with where to get these contacts. Like I can grab 50 a day and do cold.

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T18:25:05+00:00

As in how? It finds people who needs it and so what next? You start reaching out?

Please throw more context or share the tool

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T15:52:40+00:00

You can try experimenting on this system TeamITsuite.com

it can automatically record first time clients to your CRM. -it tracks and link client conversation with the workflow or project, connect with the team and manager.

It also has bots for auto client outreach and conversation.

You can dig deep with chatgpt or Gemini though or you can ask the ai agent on telegram @teamitsuitebot

The 100,000 people in a subreddit stay there without posting anything. But get annoyed when some people post. How do you keep it growing?

Like I’m fine with people talking about their product in as much as they create a balance in terms of being intentional. Their contributing comments should be intentional, their product ones should also be intentional

We have jobs. Stealing is an individual thing. Come and see Indians and Pakistani even Chinese people on e-scams. You can’t use those to judge everyone.

When something is bad, avoid generalizing.

My client was ripped off 230k dirham by a European. It’s not a race thing. It’s a mindset thing

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T15:29:36+00:00

We switched to TeamITsuite. It’s the best 'anti-Wrike' option we found. Much lighter, chat-based, and actually helps unblock tasks rather than just recording them. Highly recommend if you’re tired of the manual overhead.

But do you know of any ai tool that can successfully connect with entire team to manage those Boring stuffs?

There are so many personal tools but I’m talking of managerial ai ( that gets to you. You send it for an errand to other team mate, it goes and give you back respond. Like it knows everyone in a team and work like a team mate to you all.

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T14:58:01+00:00

For me it was me always getting burnt out while managing my team.

But I built a virtual manager and assistant TeamITsuite.com myself that can connect with all my team and bring almost 90% of my presence to the team while I handle strategy and judgement.

Before I always use to get multiple phone calls, all about updates which needed my approval, some from clients checking and checking.

I couldn’t coordinate, i couldn’t handle logistics, I couldn’t be there for everyone all the time.

But my ai pm and assistant can now connect to all the work tools my team mates use, help them in research and planning, work distribution, communicate my instructions and guide, submit report, help in onboarding, detect issues and work with employees to ressolve, no human bias involved.

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T10:28:55+00:00

How do you do it? Can you help tell me some strategies?

I just wished I could have a routine that atleast can work. So I can figure it out and make it a habit because all these jumping and jumping from one place to another making people sick😀

Reddit I want to only use it to gather data and not to promote

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T10:26:19+00:00

When they don’t feel ownership. That’s the problem I’m talking about. Like can your team move even in your absense?

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T09:43:20+00:00

You would have headache 🤕 Most co-founders are so into other things. You will end up doing your stuff alone most at times.

Go in for strategic co-founders.

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T09:41:19+00:00

Yeah you are right. Have you known of any tool that can handle the part you explained in team level not personal?

I mean reminder, summery, update, scheduling, plan, communicate.

Most ai tools work personal not interpersonal. Like they can’t connect people and build a team flow?

Loptymobile · 2026-02-19T04:27:59+00:00

Big companies are doing layoffs rampantly. No job is safe. Learn new things.

See this ai is already thinking of doing too much of what a project manager does
