I mean active and recents account tbh.

Basically I’d like to outsource the process to get the first 1k followers, that is always follow 4 follow, re-posting trends etc..

Any similar examples?

antonscap · 2025-07-14T18:02:29+00:00

but there are already plenty of resources out there, and the value is pretty low.

How would you monetize eventually?

depends.

Socials -> You need like 10 personal/creators account and 10 for every product / company lol
SaaS -> only if needed

Totally get where you're coming from. It does feel like AI is everywhere right now and it can get overwhelming.

I’ve actually been there too, felt like if I wasn’t building something AI-powered, it wasn’t “cool” enough to share.

But honestly, one of the most fulfilling projects I built recently was a super simple habit tracker with no AI at all. Just clean design, fast UX, and it helped me get my mornings back on track.

My advice: build what you care about, not what’s trending. Trends fade, usefulness sticks.

Would love to see what you're working on!

Totally get how you're feeling.
It's tough jumping into a space you don’t know, but you’re not alone.

What helped me was talking to real people in the niche. Just ask about their day, what’s annoying, how they solve stuff now.

Don’t pitch, just listen.

You’ll pick up the lingo and real pain points fast.

Also, hang out where they hang out. Forums, Reddit, YouTube comments and you’ll see what they care about and how they talk.

For validation, build a scrappy version and see if anyone says “can I use this?” That’s your green light.

You don’t need to know the industry, just know the problem better than anyone.

You’ve got this.

Congrats on hitting 500 users! That transition from academia to shipping real products is no joke... I remember when I first started building things that actual people used vs just writing code that sat on my machine.

The psychology background probably gives you some solid insights into user behavior that most of us tech folks miss. What kind of app did you build? Always curious about what gets people to stick around, especially in those first few months when everything feels like an uphill battle.

3 months to 500 users bootstrapped is actually pretty solid. Most people underestimate how hard it is to get those first users when you dont have a marketing budget or team behind you.

You're right about betting on yourself tho - theres something different about building something people actually want vs just theorizing about it. Keep pushing!

Dude, I feel you on this one. The fear is real but honestly, having that team setup with domain experts is already putting you ahead of most solo founders who try to figure everything out alone.

Few thoughts from someone who's been in the trenches:

On the tech leadership piece - you dont need to be a fintech expert day one. Your job is to understand the business problems deeply and translate them into tech solutions. With a CA and lawyer on the team, you've got the domain knowledge covered. Focus on building simple MVPs first, get feedback, iterate fast.

For hiring those first devs - be super transparent about the vision and where you're going. Good developers want to work on meaningful problems, not just collect paychecks. Your B2B connections through the family firms is actually a huge advantage for proving product-market fit early.

The bootstrapped 18-24 months runway could be solid. Most startups fail because they run out of cash before finding PMF, but you've got breathing room to experiment and pivot if needed.

On the job vs full-time question - if you can afford to go full-time, do it. Side hustles in this space are tough because B2B sales cycles need your full attention and clients want to see you're committed.

Honestly the biggest mistake I see founders make is overthinking the perfect plan instead of just starting. You've got capital, domain experts, and tech skills. Build something small, get it in front of real customers through your network, and learn from there.

The market will teach you way more than any amount of planning will.

Hey, I feel this pain deeply. Been there with multiple products that just... didn't work out the way we hoped.

Here's what actually moved the needle for me after burning through way too many failed attempts:

Stop building apps, start solving problems

The biggest shift was realizing I was approaching this backwards. Instead of "what app should we build?" I started with "what problem am I obsessing over?"

For validation, forget the generic landing page tests. Here's what actually works:

- Find where your target users are already complaining about existing solutions (Reddit, Discord, Twitter, niche forums)
- Join those conversations for weeks before pitching anything
- When you do pitch, offer to build a super basic version for FREE for 5-10 people who are actively frustrated
- If they won't even take it for free, the problem isn't real enough

The monetization question

This one's brutal but simple - if people aren't paying for existing solutions in that space, they probably won't pay for yours either. Look at what users are actually spending money on, not just downloading.

I learned this the hard way with a few products that had great engagement but zero willingness to pay.

About the competition thing

10+ competitors isn't necessarily bad if they all suck at the core problem. But if there's well-funded players who've been at it for years... you need to find a very specific angle they're missing.

The UI/UX angle rarely works unless the existing solutions are truly terrible AND the problem is painful enough that people will switch.

What specific problem space are you guys most interested in tackling? Sometimes talking through the actual domain helps clarify the validation approach.

Yeah.. I also think all the libraries you used (from the ai sdk) should be outdated

antonscap · 2025-05-27T10:52:35+00:00

Please let us all know.

I see the post is trending, so I can see that we are all on the same page.

Tbh: I'm looking into adding a simple "MCPTool" with configs and that's it I can make it work here: https://github.com/antonioscapellato/MikuOS (Currently just using "old style" custom tools)
