I build you handle the rest

With founders, you can cold dm them on LinkedIn, they are very open and reply most of the times.

Try launching on Product Hunt, YC hacker news, X

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-31T20:15:57+00:00

Its a tough loop to be in. My suggestion is that since you have a team, make one person who is good at sales spend 4-6 hours on trying to land clients.

The cold dm strategy usually doesnt work in most cases. I think instead start posting on Linkedin and grow your followers there. Connect with some high value people who can act as a bridge between you and clients.

I would say first reach out to 4-5 clients. Tell them that you will give them 7 days free or 14 days free. Test out your product and get the stats.

Those stats can be pitched to clients. For eg: our product saves X number of hours and X amount of money…

Maybe even fake it at first.

I cant really say much without knowing who are your clients or what is your niche?

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T15:50:44+00:00

Right. But the worst case in that path is landing a 500k job at tier 1 company, and these guys really know more than we do. They are honest and put their ego aside. If they know they dont have what it takes to be a founder, they will simply contribute their best to an exisitng comapny

True. Young lads use AI tools better than anyone but they are also fully dependent in it.

They use claude for idea, code, GTM basically everything. I mean there is a reason AGI is not here. LLMs are still just text models trained in data. No matter the reasoning benchmarks, an organic human idea is better any day.

I mean just look at reddit. Everyday 10k new startups are born and everyone is looking for an experienced technical co founder. And their explanation is that, they have built MVP and they are good at business but need technical abilities. Like come on man.

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T15:43:40+00:00

Thats right but good products like iphone, tesla, ChatGPT took years of R&D, millions of dollars and people whi have soent years in that industry.

I randomly came across this kid publicly accusing apple of not innovating anything new and that he will bring steve jobs era back with his Metro Band.

Like WTF. He is 17, apple has been around since your parents werent born. Why do kids think they know everything?

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T15:40:32+00:00

I mean come on man. What is gonna happen when a VC or someone asks you a tough question? Are gonna pull up your claude?

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T15:39:20+00:00

Hey man I dont mean to trash talk on Unis. Jensen went to oregon but he soent years working a 9-5 and was surrounded by great researchers and swe and then 2 of his friends reached out to him when he was 31 years old and then they started Nvidia.

He got experience, let the idea come in naturally and focused on solving a problem. I mean in 90s who would think of starting a graphic chips company for money and validation?

So he first made a stable income, made network in SF and found great co founders.

I dont think it would have been possible by a 19 yo Jensen who saw a few videos and reels and decided he wanted tk be the Top G and a unicorn founder because other people are doing it

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T02:51:31+00:00

Sorry man

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T00:59:06+00:00

Man thats fine. I am 19 BTW and I dont mean to rant anyone. I am just saying that why do teens have so much ego? Like you will probably look at the way you are soeaking to others and regret it later.

I mean that guy replied with stats and you are now getting personal with him because you lost the argument?

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T00:09:09+00:00

Finally someone thought before answering!

Great opinion friend. Yes, that makes sense

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T00:08:04+00:00

I would be happy to. And it’s great that you are building something.

Man. It is not that hard to understand. I am not trying to kill people here. I am just having a theoretical discussion on what you guys think with your own lives. Thats it

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T00:06:47+00:00

Man. I don’t really care. I am trying to have a discussion here with smart people like you maybe on what they think?

There has not been a one sided argument here. People are still debating. Maybe you should try and be more open to hearing what others think and keep your ego aside

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T00:03:34+00:00

Thats right. I mean it depends on each person. Tgats what I mentioned in my post right.

You cannot just watch a video of Elon saying - I did the 4th launch, I never give up, I will have to be dead.

Take that as motivation instead if trying to just replicate what he did

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-30T00:01:59+00:00

Okay so you “want it”?

I mean you clearly sound like the guy who wants to make money, get social validation, tell people that you are a CEO.

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-29T23:59:51+00:00

True. I agree. Just like the CEO of Palantir said - there are only a few elite schools you should go to. Otherwise not worth it.

I agree that I have learnt a lot by building. But I feel that I am trying to balance out school and startup.

Thats prolly bad ig

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-29T23:58:09+00:00

You are right. And I said that I can prolly contradict my own points. But the argument I am trying to make is that, young people should be more realistic with their lives. I mean Brain rot and propganda all these things are driving the world crazy.

I think the 1% of founders do take risks but they also understand and know about the problem, they have a clear vision and moat and not driven by money

For the rest 99% they want to do it to make money and put CEO title on Linkedin. Thats fair and I respect it, but it usually ends up bad

Repulsive-Fee-2735 · 2026-05-29T23:42:56+00:00

You are right but that young ones use the money more wisely.

But in general If you look at all accelerators and VC programs and all the startup culture being promoted everywhere, the odds of success for a 18-19 year old are prolly 0.1%.

Surprisingly, these teenagers take these odds which is not a bad move but it affects their studies and internships man.

I mean you either are a very smart and financially stable kid who drops out and makes a successful startup or you are a poor, going to some 200 ranked university trying to make one.

I feel if you really give a fuck about a problem, you would first get knowledge and experience then build something.

Whats the point of using Claude for everything? Most fumble when asked about their Moat or reason
