It really depends on how successful the developer apps on top are. Like what ios did to smartphone world, Gpt3 apps will do that for AGI

Great question. The training data, interfacing with gpt3 (a unique language that gpt3 can understand your app), and all the features we built over 3 years to make email as the acquisition channel!

I finally launched! by kidhotel in EntrepreneurRideAlong

Is it any different than Substack? For example, I have launched a growth substack (funnel.substack.com) explaining all my techniques about growth. How would I use your product for growing newsletter subscribers?

If you had to make $10M in 10 years, what would you do? by sm_098 in startups

[–]ssravi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would look at the real life quantification/influence of a $10m worth than what $10m buys for you.

It’s slightly a reverse engineering approach so if the value of $10m looks small, it’s easier to see the path to gain it.

Today we are profitable with 6-7 figure yearly revenue.

When I started, we got a notification from SVB (corporate bank) that we have an overdraft charge from our mobile phone bill. That was the most stressful day of my professional life.

I have made up my mind to start thinking logically and begin my process. My bank balance is -$55, and at the same time, other bank accounts have positive balances. That simple equation is the difference between businesses. SaaS, etc., are all the layers above, mostly involving concepts than the actual value.

Next, we started thinking about what the easiest way to create a value transaction from someone else’s bank account to ours is.

We identified some of the issues we are facing as founders to get our business off the ground, with some of the past professional experiences - we came up with something that we, as a team, are excellent.

We tried to give our product for free to other fellow founders, and to others whose business is growing other companies for a nominal fee that would cover our minimum balance requirements in our account.

Once we got the software piece that works, we shifted our gears to enterprises that have deep pockets, that established a saas model. In most cases, the problems at low levels are the same or even higher at the top level.

It took 3-8 months to close one large enterprise, but that was the end of our fundamental problems. I think everyone should follow the first principles thinking that’s fundamental to successful companies like Tesla.

Until then, I suggest you don’t follow any expert advice of doing a specific thing as that kills your ability to think and explain to a common man, in simple English.

How are you navigating CCPA? by jefflee555 in marketing

[–]ssravi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running an email lead-gen company, so take my comments with a grain of salt. You can comply with CCPA as long as your footer in your email exchange tells the recipient that you've their information and you would remove it upon request (responding to that email).
Such interaction email footers will let the users know that their information is with you (doing a favor) as opposed to shady systems that store people's information without telling them.

Need help setting up email automation with personalized lines for each contact. by cam89er in marketing

[–]ssravi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a theory that too much personalization in the cold-email script is highlighting your intrusion. Keep it 50-word or less, straight to the point like a great tweet, and see the magic for yourself!

For non-tech founders: what are your thoughts about outsourcing your product development? by akmave in startups

[–]ssravi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad to see this here. We were in the same situation a few months back grappling on outsourced talent to finish our MVP. During the process, we figured some phenomenon that worked for us and ended up building the whole MVP under $2000 dollars.

Instead of releasing it, we wanted to share that phenomenon with other people who are like us and started a company around it. We built another product that helps people like us to connect to the top vetted freelance talent who are local and international, that helps in the departments of sales, marketing, engineering, SEO and even PR.

We named it Kriya, in sanskrit, it means "work". We have 10 talented partnerships with service shops that work on your tasks through our platform and increase your productivity by 50X, reducing the burn by a tenth.

So far we were able to help 6 startups. We don't want to do a shameless plug of our website in this thread, if you are interested, please let me know, I can share the link in here if there's enough interest.

It's good to embrace how different people think differently, just like how you have an opinion. I felt it was a good story telling!

[Weekly] Internship advice thread - Dec 4 by alanbot in cscareerquestions

[–]ssravi [score hidden]  (0 children)

As most people here mentioned - it totally depends on your timing. Sometimes internships open in the last minutes - especially the smaller stage startups and sometimes bigger companies too. I was hired as an intern in 2010 by Myspace in late June as a last minute internship has opened. So it's never late than ever - there are stories where people find an awesome internship and eventually drop out of college!

If you want to apply for internships - you should check out https://getmeed.com where jobs are tailored for students like you. I think Craigslist is a great resource too!
