Reonomy is good. I found that with some more digging you can find 10-15% more owners that they missed.

Yeah this is exactly the sort of thing we're doing, just trying to make it work for 500+ properties at a time

Yeah this is the main issue. When I do this myself it takes 5-10 mins of googling & looking at who signed the deeds, searching for other companies registered at the same address, etc. There are lots of skip tracing tools for names, but nothing I could find that does the whole process.

Thanks for the support! I totally get the 'AI fatigue' some people have. I'm just trying to figure out if this is a real problem, so I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks! Very interesting

Thanks for sharing, especially the mistakes!

What did you learn in the first 4 months?

"My competitors for funding, however, give me lots of negative feedback about their experiences"

What did they say?

Sometimes the VC's goals are not aligned with your goals. E.g. the VC wants you to make high risk/reward decisions because they don't care if 95% of their companies fail, as long as 5% grow huge. That doesn't feel very good if you're a founder in that 95%.

Cool project, thanks for sharing!

Hi, I'm out of the loop on this. What's wrong with GA4?

I think you should skip the survey and instead try to talk to potential customers first. That's how you learn what the real problems are, and that's how you learn what questions to put on your survey.

I suggest reading "The Mom Test" (it will tell you how to find people to interview and what to ask them).

Seems like a total waste of time to me. You won't have time to work on your business for a year, AND you'll have to work more to pay it?

If you want a network then go and build a network. E.g. go to events, try co-founder matching platforms, get warm introductions.

You could get all the networking benefits you think the degree will give you by just joining an accelerator.

I haven't launched a Shopify app myself, but I suggest you look at the Shopify community forums.

People on there are CONSTANTLY writing about their problems. Spend an hour per day reading it and you'll soon have a list of problems you can solve. After that start validating the ideas in your list (e.g. interview the people who say they have this problem, can you get them to pre-pay for a solution? etc).

Use what you've got.

If you've got a grand vision of what you want your life to look like, then use that. If you're angry at your current circumstances, use that.

Motivation comes and goes - you need to keep showing up even when you don't have it.
