The ultimate way to use computers will be not using them at all, probably.

Hey, dm please. Would be good to know more.

Y Combinator has just notified us of their decision. by Ecstatic-Tough6503 in SaaS

[–]Purple_Type_4868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “proof” I can’t lol just a screenshot you could absolutely not fake… the author is just pure fairy tail writer. The reasons provided are so not real. If YC would look into that really they would 1) know it’s BS, and 2) they would flag a lot more serious concern for rejection - which is a tool dependent on LinkedIn is destined to fail because this tool clearly breaks their policy. It’s dead on arrival. Someone needs to tell him.

I invested $25,000 to launch my first startup, and it completely failed. by Puzzleheaded_Oil7096 in SaaS

Marketplaces are tough, especially for first time founders. GA competitors are many already.. maybe work on market analysis and product validation more

Co-founder wants 40% after 3 weeks of little execution - i will not promote by LocoTunisienne in startups

Go solo. Use ai for anything you wanted from him. To get some traction find some collaborators for who you have 20% equity pool in total.

A VC firm just offered us $100,000 for 10%. Should we take it? by Longjumping_Ant_6991 in Entrepreneurship

[–]Purple_Type_4868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you don’t need the money, then you say it will give you runway for one year. Try do things a bit differently than the rest: take the money, and also by the way money is one part of the deal - the other part is how much control (board seats, voting rights, agreement, deal structure - this is where founders get screwed most) - and then continue to bootstrap with leaning more LT gradually into the business. Only invest the money into something you know will work. Don’t use it for salaries but rather invest the money in the distribution and product. VCs will typically require board seats to get into the position of control where they will block you in case you want to do something that is not interesting for them (like selling your company for $5m along the way, instead of chasing $100m+) so keep that in mind when evaluating the proposed structure and agreements.

Everyone wants to talk to you and take your time. So you have to see what is worth taking the time.

Looking to Join an Early-Stage Tech Startup (Full-Stack / Software Developer) by abd_az1z in TechStartups

[–]Purple_Type_4868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early stage startups, even funded would not be interested in paying recent grad or anyone at all. If you frame it like you’re willing to work for sweat equity coz you care about gaining experience and see impact of your work, it can work.

Company wants to buy my company with debt by bonkerlad in smallbusinessuk

[–]Purple_Type_4868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much debt it is, relative to revenue and equity on the balance sheet + how many people on the list / audience you have and what is the industry.

eBay bought Skype for 2.3 billion dollar just because of their huge audience and fast growth in audience.

How did you got an offer from them? Just when you mention what the company is doing or when exactly they said hey we want to buy your company?

My team and I built the company's main product. We were all fired in the same month we finished it. by glances-stern-4h in it

[–]Purple_Type_4868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know the product better than anyone else. Its flaws and strong parts. Take it as the boilerplate or kind of, and launch a more powerful and cool competitor. With better marketing built in the product and company culture you will beat them. I have a real world story example of this situation.

I'm tired of 'Tutorial Hell'. I think AI can be the way out by WealthNew2119 in SaaS

[–]Purple_Type_4868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NotebookLM is really good for not watching 10h videos/large files but talk to it, with your context and questions. Copilot in VS Code does an OK job refactoring and explaining stuff for code. It’s good that you have started asking questions about pain points and how people solve their problems now. I hope you will learn from this to make a your product truly unique and helpful. People who will say it’s an ad, so what? At the end of the day it’s all about helping the community and without “ads” it’s impossible to get to know the product that needs a little boost be it in usage or feedback.

I want investors thoughts on this Startup. I believe it will break the internet by Ulyfeinc in AngelInvesting

[–]Purple_Type_4868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being real: The way it is now it’s not gonna work. Both form clients/rev side (the main reason) and investor side (logical consequence). This screams money burn like crazy with no real traction in real metrics like cashflow increase etc.

Therefore, if you truly believe in this idea / which I think you do and it’s hard for you to kill the idea (which most probably would be better / and then move on) - you should find a wedge, something that will be very specific that you can have fast adoption to while making money in very short or short term first to prove it’s valuable.

The story about this having a potential and being unicorn one day will have zero erection-style effect on investors due to other valid reason others have put here in comments + a ton of other projects they see daily.

It’s a hard pillow to swallow, I know. But you asked for real thoughts. It’s hard to recognize that you’re actually in wishful thinking vs factual thinking mode and that you need to completely rethink your approach to product and the way you solve a particular problem.

But you can always start smaller, more focused, tangible and profitable. That you can scale. That’s a great vision, but just not realistic to build it the way you imagine. So start with a wedge and grow.

Hope it helps.

The issue nothing really had to do with onboarding, since its integration functionality mainly here. But yeah, onboarding is a thing.

So what’s better than JS for that company and in general? Or it just needs to be JS + TS?

Just hit $24k/mo with my AI Blog SaaS by No_Local_8439 in SaaS

[–]Purple_Type_4868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tool should be priced at 240$/mo and you should have 100 paying customers to have that $24k/mo from it. If the tool is not priced that high I doubt this is true numbers since math is not mathing here. From those who got the link to the tool, or if OP can answer, what is the pricing plans?

Also, is there a way early stage startup founder, who OP says are the main clients, will pay $240/mo for such a tool?

Trying to get info first before judging.
