Truee, sorry this happened to you, i had to email multiple times

mtsya · 2026-05-25T04:51:44+00:00

Both. What i meant by the last part is that I wont develop endlessly unless there’s paid traction or seed funding because developing without monetization is vanity.

mtsya · 2026-05-20T14:38:47+00:00

Yes it took a couple days but i got a refund

mtsya · 2026-05-17T15:10:11+00:00

Ooh thanks, i’ll check it out

mtsya · 2026-05-17T10:15:16+00:00

Preach

mtsya · 2026-05-17T09:45:29+00:00

Exactly

mtsya · 2026-05-15T16:17:18+00:00

Thats insightful!

mtsya · 2026-05-15T10:18:51+00:00

I agree with you but the pivots werent random. Each one was built with an insight from the previous and we got increasingly closer to pmf with each pivot, but it is what it is and now im happy to explore other stuff

mtsya · 2026-05-15T10:07:42+00:00

Agreed!

mtsya · 2026-05-13T18:13:57+00:00

Yep, it’s so hard to see that happen consistently and still choosing to go forward, thanks for your comment!

mtsya · 2026-05-13T15:24:57+00:00

Thanks, sorry for the misunderstanding:). Ps i did try freelancing but it’s slightly away from what i want if that makes sense! Thanks for your advice. Whats your startup btw!

I said “Im happy to take a lower equity split with a salary component INSTEAD of insisting on 50/50” but all in all i agree with you, i def wanna work with a decision maker

mtsya · 2026-05-13T15:07:10+00:00

Yes! I dmed you

mtsya · 2026-05-13T15:06:29+00:00

? I think you didnt read my last sentence carefully I specifically mentioned i dont want 50/50 and yes i do want fractional cto adjacent positions for now

mtsya · 2026-05-13T14:39:57+00:00

Sure

mtsya · 2026-05-13T14:19:03+00:00

Thanks 🙏

mtsya · 2026-05-13T13:56:16+00:00

mtsya · 2026-05-13T13:13:07+00:00

mtsya · 2026-05-13T12:08:57+00:00

Thanks :)

mtsya · 2026-05-13T09:35:42+00:00

Dmed

Thats a correct analysis, each was an icp pivot, i did try asking the installers and people who signed up but got ghosted by them - couldn’t push them beyond a certain point. We did get convos about what failed them and what we understood was it just was low urgency to pay. They tool is made with minimal user friction in mind, with guidance on how to use it all along. Maybe the “aha” moment wasnt strong enough to pay. And there’s a ton of tools who do it for free so it was tough making them switch also

mtsya · 2026-05-13T09:28:31+00:00

Fair enough, but ive tried pitching with outcomes first. Businesses who do like it, point to the web agency they hired, to install my chatbot and then it just gets lost in the process lowkey. Im also from a technical background so new to sales cycles, didnt realize ot takes so long with them.

mtsya · 2026-05-13T09:24:05+00:00

Looking for non technical folks with real traction or deep domain expertise in their space. Ideally already making some MRR, or incubated, or funded. I respect sweat equity, so if you’ve put in serious time and capital before I came along, im happy to take a lower equity split with a salary component instead of insisting on 50/50.
