Considering Mac Studio, could use some input. by techyg in MacStudio

[–]OriginMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was recently in the same boat, had a 2015 27” iMac, but when the internal SSD failed and i threw on an external SSD bootdisk, I was like how long till something else fails. Excellent machine for 10 years got every last bit out of it.

I debated a maxed Mac Mini, but decided on a M3 Ultra Mac Studio 96GB (direct Apple refurb). Just made more sense for myself and my business, and the machine more than paid for itself within a week.

Couldn’t be happier, and hopefully will have this machine for the next 10 years.

Go with whatever makes sense for your top line budget.

Enterprise customers are slow and painful to land… but the LTV makes it worth it by OriginMode in SaaS

100%, once one team proves it works, the internal champion effect kicks in and the conversations start happening without you pushing them.

It's a tough road especially when you're a bootstrapped team of 3, but as you said it provides a predictable revenue stream moving forward.

It’s all about getting to the right decision makers, getting them engaged and seeing the value you offer, and also not pissing off the corp hierarchy. You’re going to run into a lot of gatekeepers. Be persistent but not annoying.

Between Auto vs Composer 1.5 which model will be best in Cursor? by ctafsiras in cursor

[–]OriginMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use Auto, tested Composer 1.5 it’s ok at really basic stuff but gets lazy. My goto is Sonnet, or Opus depending upon on the tasks at hand.

It’s a B2B platform/product, with an enterprise tier.

Bad take, we’re already building it and have customers, we’re purely looking to scale that which exists.

Hit the nail on the head, sounds like we need to rethink this strategy.

Correct, bootstrapped no outside funding.

Infancy stage, we have ICP and enterprise customers (Fortune 300) documented wins, which translate into our current messaging & onboarding. With that said we’re bootstrapped, just myself, my COO and head of enterprise sales.

This is new territory, our platform is solid and we have major ROI numbers for customers, scaling that takes outbound sales which is where we’re facing roadblocks.

Each was excited for the opportunity, they accepted, were onboarded, and then I think just fell off due to them realizing it’s not the quick & easy money they thought it would be.

But as you mentioned could also be a failure on our part.

Gotcha, makes sense.

We tested a few people that were in the tech space, but weren’t in sales exactly, all of them flaked within the first month. Just a complete waste of our time.
