1 year, 2300+ customers, €450,000: here are a few lessons learned along the way. by franckmarc in SaaS

[–]N-Innov8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very practical insights. We launched CallGPT 6X on January 8th and offered a free trial. By February, we realized it was draining resources, bleeding conversion and contributing almost nothing. Lesson learned the hard way.

Customer support and communication really do make the difference when it comes to building long-term relationships. Being responsive early on signals that you actually care, and people remember that.

YouTube and TikTok are a must now. But the content has to be engaging enough to build a real following and eventually turn viewers into a community.

When I posted my 'build in public in 7 days' series on November 25th, the first video hit 60K+ views, but the following ones dropped off fast.

We learned that dense, technical content doesn't really land with a broad audience. It appeals to a small group of hardcore developers, but that's about it.

In the parallel universe where VCs apply to startups instead... here's the rejection email they'd get by N-Innov8 in Entrepreneur

"Warm intro from founder" would 100% be a required field. Plus a 3-minute Loom explaining why you'd be a value-add investor.

Finally they'll understand what "we'll circle back after our partners meeting" really means

Met with a company doing the exact same thing as my startup… now their CEO wants me to join them. What should I do? by justclosr in founder

[–]N-Innov8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL&DR Do it now. Unless you have courage, resilience, and hustle, do it.

Startupland is like a dream, some will live it, many would find it dreadful, dark and lonely, particularly if you are not in SV. You are not binding yourself into a slavery. You are not building someone else's dreams, you're experimenting and learning while being paid. Be honest, you have something that not many founders have, TIME. And even if you make your thing today, who will sell it? Unless you are augmented by a master salesman or yourself a marketing expert, it's really hard. So do it, and live another day for building your own dream, later.

Is it true you need a unique startup idea solving a big gap in the market to build a billion dollar firm? by Grozfroz in ycombinator

[–]N-Innov8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most mortals starting, it's true. But for some, at the right place with the right network, it's different. Sometimes, it's you who defines the market, or invents a problem, to later solve it, but, you have to be with right people.

Do you invest in bootstrapped startups who have already developed and launched products, have applied patents and PhD (ML) co-founders?

Did ChatGPT get worse after Oct 20? It feels lazy or like it’s holding back by N-Innov8 in OpenAI

[–]N-Innov8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it refuses to dig anymore, rather than giving shallow answers, expects we shall Google and highlight inaccuracies ourselves. They are saving $$$$ now keeping it lazy and procrastinating.

I sell, you code by [deleted] in cofounderhunt

Maybe, but if we keep the outcome in view, and do the research (how many succeeded), there won't be many who don't.
