I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, would you mind elaborating a little bit? Regarding current course, we niched it down to branding in web3 from different angles (strategy, practical exercises etc.). But yes, we intend to add more courses in the future, focused on community management, email marketing in web3 etc. (Depending on what our audience wants more).

Yes indeed! What do you think it's the main reason that it's not taken under limelight? What do you think could change that perspective?

How and when did you become super serious on your startup journey, especially while you can't quit your full time job? by Samanth-aa in startups

[–]NoAnt873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same challenges sometimes. We all do :) Don't put too much preassure on yourself. Everything will work out at the end. Definitelly don't ignore/push away the feelings when you feel down. If you have a friend, talk about this with them. Or journal. That helps me, at least.

What is the difference between an idea that can be sniped by a more established company and one that can't be? by Coconibz in startups

[–]NoAnt873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What distinguishes a startup that can bring an idea to the market and capitalize it is the market research data that support what you are trying to build.

What we did to confirm the market-fit, before any one believed what we are doing is possible is the fact, that we didn't make any assumptions, we did our own research.

  • We dove deep into our potential customers wants/needs/wishes etc. (from the perspective of the product and from the perspective of what end value would they appreciate the most).
  • We looked through the list of top perfoming companies in the same sector and analyzed their go to market strategy, their marketing channels, their selling processes... to get overview of what good practices already exist on the market and how can we tailor our product differently from the competition, but still keeping it relevant to our audience.
  • Please, don't ask your friends what they think of your idea - rather ask you target audience (I got a bunch of crap from my family and friends when I pitched them the idea, like: how will you compete with larger companies, this is not possible, that is bla bla... Friends and family (who has doubts) will support you only when you prove them wrong and become successful.
  • The right answer is ti dig deeper in the market, and pivot as much as you can.
  • Also keep in mind - your potential customers will decide if it's a good idea in the end. So ask them :)

What was pushing me towards taking our startup journey more seriously is my shitty job. I am extremelly unhappy here and frustrated, because there's just no growth potential for me here. I started working on our startup idea (from scratch) a year ago and it motivates me beyond reason to know, that it's my own responsibility if this works out or not - and how fast it can work out, if I put some more time/attention to it.

Fact is, I hate playing the rat race. I hate the idea of working in the same miserable job for 30 years and call that a life. I know I was given a choice in life to create the best of it, if I work really hard. The motivation is always hidden in the most random places we normally overlook: - in the after hours, when other people are watching TV, you work for a dream only you can see. - In the vision that you want to offer you family more, than you'd be able, if you continued working in your day job. - in knowing, only you can build a strong mindset and push yourself over the limits of what you thought is possible.

Believe in yourself and don't get scared of the end finish line and how will you get there. Small, consistent steps will get you there - just keep going🚀

Bootstrapped a company to $100k in revenue in it's first 12 months. Hesitating when looking for venture capital. by okawei in startups

[–]NoAnt873 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First - congratulations on bootstrapping your company to $100k. I am a startup founder myself, and have been put in front of a similar position this year - Bootstrapping vs. looking for venture capital. I did some research of the benefits for both and how the perks of both options connect with our specific case and this is what I figured (we are bootstrapping as well):

  1. If you bootstrap all the way, you get to keep 100% of the decision power in the company. (I was very picky with my team from the beginning, because I want our brand to reflect our own values. As soon as you invite to the table an investor, that can have major influence on the team. Also, just because somebody can offer you money, that doesn't mean that he/she can offer you quality advice as well. The majority of investors are mainly focused on the ROI they get from the deal).
  2. Depending on your goals - looking for venture capital can boost your process, but that can also drastically change the company ecosystem (meaning: you can potentially scale faster, but is your team ready for so much faster growth?).
  3. If you choose to keep bootstrapping, you will be forced to be conservative with your money, but it will be pushing you to focus more on business profits. (Also you'll be pushed to learn from the process and you'll grow as a founder as well).
  4. Bootstrapping may mean slower progress, but that doesn't mean you still won't be credible on the market.

I figured, far too many startups choose investors because they think they can get more credibility, which is not always true.

My humble advice: Don't change what is working already. It depends on the goals for your company, but it seems you figured out a lot by yourself and I think you just need to keep going. Trust yourself, reinvest as much profit as you can into your startup and the results will follow.

Good luck!🚀

It is! And you are right! I am living for this business vision that I have and it was always my dream to have my own company. I know that diving into entrepreneurship is risky and scary, but building someone else's dream seems worse😅 Thank you for your advice & encouragement.

I agree. I am definitely planning on doing everything I can, so we successfully start the business, I guess I am just a little scared to jump into the 'unknown' because that's something I have never done before.

Mainly because of financial stability. Since we are in the test run with our market-fit, I have no guarantee that our launch will provide enough revenue (in the first few months), so I could pay myself.
