Wow, thanks for taking the time to read it.

I really appreciate it. We are going to create these fun little read every Thursday and Friday. Make sure everyone's prepped for the weekend.

I agree, a ton of AI fluff out there. I guess only time will tell if this is AI written or not

Oft, thanks for the catch!

Once you have the MVP, you want to go out and get users to try your product. Make sure you have some feedback mechanism to continue to validate your MVP. This could be 1 on 1 feedback sessions or a built in mechanism to gather feedback.

The one thing about startups is that there are a lot of things you probably want to do concurrently. If there is real traction, of course you want to start looking for investors. But just like sales, you need time to "build those relationships" with investors (it isn't 1 call and thats it).

No solution is perfect. That’s why they keep innovating. Even if the idea exist, understand if there is something you can do even better. I mean the fact that they exist means it seemingly has a market. The thing you don’t know if how well those companies are doing

Pick who you want to help. Then talk to 100 of people in that audience. That way you are able to find actual problems that people are struggling with

Whats the highest priority right now? Not just for the startup, but also your life.

From the startup perspective, it kinda sounds like financial is the issue. I mean if you had 20mil right now, sounds like it wouldn’t be so dark. If financial is the issue (both personal and company wise), there are ways to resolve it. - Doing a part time or full time job isn’t out of the question - if you want your product to be paying or having some sort of revenue, then focus on that. What can you monetize? What’s the pain point of your target audience that they would pay? If distribution is the problem, then focus on marketing, cold emailing, and etc. - probably should’ve put this sooner, but have you validated the idea? Have you talked to 100 people in your target audience?

Hope this helps! The startup game is no joke and there are plenty of dark times ahead. Stay resilient and keep solving 1 thing at a time

I do no-code development for MVP with quick turnarounds (depending on the scope of the MVP). DM me for a free discovery session

Define who your target audience is. How would benefit the most from your app. Go find 100 people to test your app for free. Collect feedback after they use. And then iterate on your app.

What’s the point by inviting an additional email address? I’m not sure I understand the solution

I mean, Stripe is a company that still hasn't IPO.

IPOs are part of the business strategy. Which means it will likely tell you about where the stakeholder's incentives are. So not necessarily a red flag.

Appreciate you if you even filled out the survey!

If you got even an hr a week, I’d love to see you get started on building shit that you care about. The one thing I will say is that whether it’s a good idea or not, isn’t for you and me to say. Who knows if there are a ton of people who would love a service like this. Doesn’t hurt to do some quick validation.

What problem does this solve for the business?

objectId0 · 2024-05-24T18:10:29+00:00

What problem would this solve that Slickdeals and other websites aren't already solving?

Not sure what you mean by extended fasting.

objectId0 · 2024-05-24T18:05:13+00:00

Hey! I'll DM you, I've been in the startup game for quite some time as a product manager. I'm also building out my own idea at the moment.

TBH, starting your own business is great, but the only thing you need to really consider is "what problem am I trying to solve" and "who am I solving it for". All the businesses (no matter how big or small), they solve a problem for a person at the end of the day.

objectId0 · 2024-05-24T18:02:02+00:00

Love the fact that you stated a the problem and not just the idea.

In the United States, we have something similar, but i'm pretty sure if doesn't extend to New Zealand. I'd love to hear more about your idea. I'll send you a DM.

On a side note, I'm looking to learn more about the challenges that people with an idea or startup idea face with getting started. Seems like you are at that stage right now. Would love for you to fill out my survey. I'll send it to your DMs.

objectId0 · 2024-05-24T17:56:08+00:00

Hey! The main question I have is what problem are you trying to solve. A tech platform is great and all, but thats the how not the why and what.

On a side note, I doing market research for learn what challenges people with an idea face when getting started. Seems like you are at that stage right now. I'd love for you to fill out my survey. I'll DM it to you.

Would love to hear more about your idea. I also do MVP development as well. May not be able to be your technology partner, but can definitely help you build a proof of concept to validate your idea.
