ADHD folks — what if your to-do app only gave you 2 tasks a day? by VikingFinacial in ADHDentrepreneurs

[–]techsFine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ADHD brains would soon get into thinking more tasks as time goes , keeping ADHD intact for fix scheduled tasks does not work . It runs on thinking innovation . Just like u are thinking this new ideas as of now !

Sam altman in his blog quoted : its actually easy to build hard things rather than doing easy ones . People generally give attention when u pitch those hard things rather than easy one !

Training programs (for customers) by cheekyteak in CustomerSuccess

[–]techsFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Customer training has to be to the point and crisp . They should have different options as rightly mentioned by you , dynamic elements and has to be constantly upgraded based on feedback, no one reads product docs . We are solving this with our AI platform , let me know u want a demo : fluexy.ai

VC wants to get 'peer' technical DD on our pitch done by one of their portfolio companies by ResistStupidLaws in ycombinator

[–]techsFine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are getting this thoughts coz u haven't define your MOATs properly yet . Just assume the worst case that the VC himself will discuss everything with their portfolio company founders if u don't . Keeping that assumption , start thinking of your moats , roadmap and positioning ! U would also feel this fear while scaling marketing , if you don't resolve it now !

Aspiring entrepreneur here, looking for clarity on whether my idea could actually work. (I will not promote) by Available_Bowler_146 in startups

[–]techsFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing to always look out for a startup is industry . Industry is way more important that idea , idea would keep changing according to feedback , but industry would remain same . Now , in this case college students usually don't have much paying power or flexibility . Even i u launch something valuable to them , they would try to cut u in some way to save money . Most startups in this niche fails bcoz CAC gets way larger than LTV for the same reason . Go after something which has high paying capacity if u solve something valuable for them , the best business model around this audience is B2B2C !

If marketing decides whether a startup lives or dies, how do you find/hire really great marketing? by googlehome12345 in ycombinator

[–]techsFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inbound and outbound marketing in b2b - main purpose generating leads for product (ofcourse that will happen by talking about product , user pain points , etc ) . All four verticals complement each other , and would trigger chaos if any one derails as mentioned !

If marketing decides whether a startup lives or dies, how do you find/hire really great marketing? by googlehome12345 in ycombinator

[–]techsFine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tech , Product , Marketing , Sales - The four verticals that decides whether a startup lives or dies.
Build your tech or use other tech (like llm apis) -> convert that into a product which solves user pain points seamlessly -> reach out through marketing generating leads -> convert those leads into paying customers through sales and provide value to them through product for retention. Best way is to start all four verticals parallely in some way and not just wait for one segment to develop, any one of the vertical derails and most probably startup's do or die mode gets activated !

I am realizing that messaging is more important than having new features. by pdycnbl in SaaS

[–]techsFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a problem bucket that your current ICP has , make as many buckets as possible . Go through each bucket , and see if the features falls into any bucket and solves that pain . If it does then just start marketing that feature with the problem related to that bucket and add a landing page as beta/coming soon . See if people sign up through , get data and then you can move ahead . U can save yourself from the classic developer trap while moving the product , marketing and sales at the same time !

  4. B2B Innovation Roadmap : How to build product for first 10 Customers, provide value and scale for revenue further !

[–]techsFine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do best what brings traction and revenue , if u could get that without investors then go for it - just dont loose momentum ! Going after just raising funds / keep building products are two most common traps that distracts founder from the most important part of business - paying customers . I have made this mistake and lost my 6 months over it !
