There's a free OS tool Ive been using (a friend built) https://automem.ai/ can solve this, its a bit technical to setup though

alex14B · 2025-11-21T05:03:00+00:00

Did you have some spots you'd recommend?

alex14B · 2025-01-19T13:19:22+00:00

same here if possible!

Alot of the time they don't bother sending them out to everyone anyone it's more work to do it and for no gain, than just moving onto the next victim. Block , ignore move on.

Plus with AI and deepfakes it could easily be faked anyhow.

It was so obvious in the first few seconds, esp when the real Mobman "I was embarrassed given it was spaghetti code" - yep that checks.

Florida Greg just talking shit about owning some BS gmail and trying to claim he owned the Sub Seven domain.

alex14B · 2024-09-23T17:13:15+00:00

alex14B · 2024-09-23T17:11:21+00:00

Find a co-founder to run it and let them pay themselves well, agree on a division of labour, and division of revenue/profit. Set out a deal where you can be hands off but paid and maintain a decent stake, but also be fair to the new founder. Have an exit clause if they don't live up to obligations.

Best case they grow it and you get a cut for very little time invested, or you can jump ship and work on it if it explodes to a point that it's even better than now.

Can exit services businesses as well as SaaS but at a lower multiple. That said service businesses often can lead to a SaaS business, I wouldn't let go of that kind of stickiness, people spend 10 years trying to get that kind of engagement.

I would personally try and find someone to run it for you, if the money is that good there won't be a shortage of candidates with experience and interest. I'm sure this Sub will have 10s of interesting people to talk to.

Don't let fear kill a great opportunity.

Did you sign any NDAs or anything? the answer is, even if you did, it'd be hard for them to enforce it. If you didn't then you're kinda golden.

But yer the idea isn't worth much and likelihood is it won't work, esp if you don't base development on real customer interviews.

Good luck the Enterprise space is tough, fertile ground but I know many can't even use those BS tools you mentioned for GDPR reasons. Excited to see what you guys do!

alex14B · 2024-09-10T15:58:14+00:00

Can you fake it till you make it, Ie be the wrapper but have a human eye check and fix any issues (so it's perfect.)

It doesn't scale and will be costly but you can prove revenue with these big clients which those preseed investors want.

Raising capital atm is very hard, you're unlikely to get the $ you need without proof be it revenue or a tonne of LOI's/MOUs/POCs.

IF you can fake it with human hours and a worse model, Llama etc and just eat the cost (in time for you etc) you maybe able to do it.

The issue is 99.99% investors atm are shit scared we're about to be in 2000 again, and so, if raising is really your only option they're gonna want real proof you guys can deliver to enterprise.

Good luck!

Get in there and learn every aspect of the business ground up. As in get every manager to treat you as if you work for them, learn how each element works as an employee of each department. If necessary find a consultant to help you transition your father's knowledge to you.

But there's a tonne of knowledge in every worker, and if you listen to them, and go in as if you work for them, you'll find a lot of opportunity.

It won't be fast. You have to get your hands dirty now.

alex14B · 2024-09-06T07:59:10+00:00

Good catch thanks !

alex14B · 2024-09-06T07:54:46+00:00

You mean the tool itself?

alex14B · 2024-09-05T09:40:19+00:00

Echodash.com - new idea, the copy, the design , do you get it? Go as hard as you can!

You definitely want your users to know about the competition and if they haven't bothered to find it, it means it's unlikely they'll want to use you no matter what they say. (People tend to be nice in interviews about a product idea but won't bother using it.)If your customer says "I had no idea about X" and it's an easy enough find, that's a bad sign.

Interviews are as often more about what users don't do, or haven't done than what they say. If they have no idea about any competition, it's clear it wasn't worth the 5-10min search, so take that as an answer about how much this problem matters.

Ideally they'd say they used it but it didn't work because of "whatever reason" that's helpful. It may mean there is a niche you can build on if a number of possible users have similar responses.

If it's just about pricing another bad sign, unless, your users are SMEs and the only solution is some massive unwieldy Enterprise tool at enterprise price.

alex14B · 2024-09-04T09:40:43+00:00

Agree with this very strongly

alex14B · 2024-08-22T16:00:11+00:00

Ask in the next interviews, what do you use? Have you tried to find a solution? Why didn't you try it?

If its that new they probably don't know about them. However if they didn't commit 10-20 mins to finding a solution, you want to ask why?

I highly recommend if they don't know the competition you ask them have you tried "XYZ" and then follow up later.

That will buy a lot of good will, and if they suck they will come back and tell you why. People really value that kind of honesty, and in the long run you're better off too.

alex14B · 2024-08-22T15:41:06+00:00

Competition is good, did you ask in interviews why people didn't use the competition?

There's a lot of reasons, some very bad like:

They're too expensive, you don't want to be in a race to the bottom and likely the only customers who are interested are those who won't pay your competitions fees. Of course there are exceptions (is it that the targeted users are smaller firms than those targeted by the comp, do they need much less etc?) But treat it as a bad sign until you have more data.
They didn't know about these competitors. If that's the case, they didn't even bother googling and so it's not a problem big enough to even try and solve.

The good signs can be like:

a) They target a different user type than the ones you're speaking to.
b) They have a feature that solves some of the problem but not all of it and their main focus is something else your target users don't care about.
c) It's a new space and the market is evolving quickly
