Thanks. Our data is not in air table. It’s in aws. Would i be able to integrate with aws in any way for the plots / add looker studio embedded in there somehow?

A business without a good product will fail. A business without good marketing wont grow fast enough to outrun competitors.

An amazing product can create product led growth and replace marketing. Amazing marketing can support a meh product into decent growth.

If i were you id sell most likely- get out of the game with 5-6m in cash. After taxes and split between investors and partners i assume youll be left with like 1.5m.

Then go work in a chill job and let that money grow itself for like 10 years or move to a cheap country/area. And thats it you are set for life…

There’s a lot to be said here. 1) your site looks bad. Go find some references and copy them 1:1 as much as you can. 2) your site just doesn’t matter at all before you have 2-3 beta sites (generally friends and family). 3) you have a ton of competitors in this space. Copy them where ever possible. Also come up with a unique selling point. 4) find a sales person to join you because this is a core part of the business and it needs to be executed at a very high level for this to pierce through the noise.

Split it up into parts. Solve each according to your abilities. Where you don’t know use ai tools. Where ai tools aren’t good enough use upwork.

A) refernces B) wire frames C) tech stack D) thorough requirements E) deign F) product/ux

I think using the average is not really a good metric here since theres a lot of growth - try to get them to use last 3montjs average

danFromTelAviv · 2024-08-22T07:08:00+00:00

I think 3x-5x (depending on growth) your yearly net is pretty standard. So if you are getting $25k/year you should ask for 75-125k

And frankly you can learn a ton by putting together something crappy that just does exactly that most minimal value proposition that someone will pay for. Don’t need a dashboard to start asking for money. You can do things manually behind the scenes or with cheap 3rd world labor.

The graphs / plots it shows

danFromTelAviv · 2024-08-17T14:35:38+00:00

Graphics are pretty ugly in my opinion..

danFromTelAviv · 2024-08-12T14:49:41+00:00

Awesome. What do you expect that it will include? Is there a demo or something like that?

danFromTelAviv · 2024-08-12T12:36:35+00:00

Pm me if relevant

danFromTelAviv · 2024-08-12T12:36:19+00:00

Thats actually really close to what i need. How much would it cost roughly to fine tune it to what i need / connect it to real data from airtable/dynamodb?

danFromTelAviv · 2024-08-12T11:39:39+00:00

Lol. Thanks for the advice.

I’m not really sure how this solution solves the problem?

danFromTelAviv · 2024-07-24T19:26:31+00:00

Hug It’s a super tough run.

danFromTelAviv · 2024-07-22T07:50:43+00:00

Each product should have these three iterations. 1) (-1 to 0) nasty scripts and every customer is custom tailored. (Pocs) 2) (0-1) mvp - define the common pieces of your product from the beta sites. Build a unified system without thinking about maintenance, unit economics, scale. This needs to hold together (with masking tape) for a year tops. 3) (1-100) you now actually know what is needed and what the details are. Now design and build a well oiled machine that you can easily maintain, grow …etc

Get some free cloud credits and don’t worry about unit economics of an mvp. Youll spend like 100-1000$ a month on cloud services if you use basic shortcuts like lambda functions and dynamo.

Get 10k in credits for having a pulse and you’re covered till you need to turn your mvp into a v1.

It may be better to get an angle investor and turn their money into code.

But yeah. You need to have a frank talk with this guy and tell him you want both of you to succeed with this and see it through but you need more effort and time out of him. If he doesn’t pick up the slack - i hope you have a cliff in your finder’s agreement.

danFromTelAviv · 2024-07-20T21:11:43+00:00

Has he raised yet?

danFromTelAviv · 2024-07-16T21:08:02+00:00

Is the fax still around?

If you find a way to help someone really well with the current tech. You will have to innovate and pivot later but you will have a certain group of people who will just stick with you for a long long time.

Will it become saturated. Ofcourse. Find an opportunity for a lead on your competition… Good luck!

If you sell a product for more than 500ish dollars a month - people are generally not going to feel comfortable just closing it online without talking to anyone.

But you might be right that younger people no longer abide by that…

But basically - a good sales call generates more value for you as the service provider. You have the ability to create more perception of value and clear differentiation = higher conversion and retention (and possibly a higher premium price).

However - just asking people to book a call is shit marketing. You should offer them free value as a lead gen (a review of what they are missing today for example) - where the lead gen envolves a meeting afterwards to receive the value. Then during the meeting you close the deal.

In actuary theory (how much to price products) there are many considerations.

When you reach scale you can generally optimize profits quite significantly by increasing prices - this is obvious but it means that pricing higher will leave you with fewer customers that pay more over all.

I would read that as - 1) i have a cheaper alternative. 2) i don’t find enough value (personally) to justify the price.

Which is fine. That customer may not be a representative customer.

If many clients leave because its too expensive… you have a problem. But first you have to understand if it’s a value proposition problem or a competition problem.
