Can a YouTube channel be considered a startup? 'i will not promote'

was reading an article by Paul Graham where he said that a startup is mainly about growth. Does this mean that something that isn’t software, like a YouTube channel or another type of media business, could still be considered a startup if it focuses on rapid scalability and expansion?

Companies, building a Gen AI product. What’s your best channel for user acquisition in a PLG motion? I will not promote

I’d love to hear more about your product and which channels are driving the most users. How has your marketing changed and do you engage in a sales motion. My hypothesis is that a Gen AI product needs a PLG motion that is based on vitality and immediate ROI. However I’m curious to understand where you are getting your initial traction from and what is driving your early user adoption. If you have any tips for a B2B Gen AI product built for enterprises, I’d love to have a...

"i will not promote"When your business is scaling rapidly, but an early co-founder is no longer keeping up, how do you handle it?

"i will not promote" I have a co-founder who has been with me since the very beginning of our startup journey. Now, our company has grown to $20 million ARR, and as our **Head of Engineering**, he is starting to show clear limitations—both in cross-functional communication and technical capabilities. For those who have faced similar situations, how did you approach it? What worked (or didn’t work) for you? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Any recommendations for how to get my first users in a peer-to-peer app? "i will not promote"

I will not promote. Without going to in depth, im launching an iOS game next week that requires users to get matched with each other. Any ideas for how to get users. I will be running paid traditional ads, have partnered with different orgs who will promote to their members (who knows if they will actually do this), and have a social media following of 75k+ people. Despite this, im worried I won't have users. I fully believe in my idea and it's possible that im just letting doubt...

Brainstorm Solutions: How to Prevent Buyers/Sellers from Regressing to Informal Credit? (Trade Finance Platform Case Study) "i will not promote"

A startup partnered with an NBFC to formalize informal trade credit between sellers and buyers. Initially, 8,000 sellers and 39,000 buyers engaged in peer-to-peer trust based credit: sellers extended informal credit on sales to buyers, creating trust but lacking structure. **The Intervention**: The startup introduced a platform where: * Sellers received **instant payment** for goods/services. * Buyers gained access to a **30-day interest-free credit period**. The model prioritized onboarding sellers first (due to the instant payment incentive), with buyers joining through seller **The Unintended Consequence**: Over time, buyers **preferred transacting with sellers who...

'CEO Cloning': Is Anyone Else Going to This Extreme? I will not promote

CEO cloning is where the CEO takes an employee they believe is a long-term rockstar, and essentially duct tapes them to their hip so the employee can learn to mimic how the CEO thinks. And then that employee 'clones' other employees. On My First Million Podcast, Mr. Beast discussed his concept of 'CEO cloning,' which he attributes to a lot of his success. Yes, in some ways, this is fairly normal and obvious. But I mean explicitly and very intentionally doing this regularly, like to the extent where the...

LLC ownership and taxation question - "I will not promote"

Fellow startup crew - After 23 years in the corporate rat race, I've decided to start something on my own. I'm not going big bang with VC funding, etc., but completely bootstrapped to begin with. I'm based in the US and from my research, I understand that you do not need to be a citizen, nor have a work permit to start/own an LLC, as long as you have someone with a work permit as an employee or a partner. If this is true, I'm trying to understand some...

How do growing startups manage their cashflow? - [i will not promote]

i will not promote I'm working with several early-stage companies and noticed a concerning pattern: brilliant product ideas but chaotic financial management, especially around accounts receivable. I'm curious about: 1. For those who've worked at/founded startups, what systems did you use to track who owes you money and when it's actually coming in? 2. How much time do you spend chasing payments each week? 3. What's your biggest frustration with getting paid on time? 4. Have you found any tools or methods that actually helped predict when clients will...

What do people think of Startup Bookkeeping products? Like Pilot, Fondo, Haven, etc. (I will not promote.)

Like title says - are these platforms actually helpful, or do people still prefer a traditional firm or DIY early on? Is cost of using one of these justified? Tax season is here, and I’ve noticed a lot of startup-type companies (and super small biz in general) suck at having their financials ready on time. Do these platforms help prevent that, or do they just pump out ass reports? Would love to hear from people who’ve used them or if these all are trash, what they would prefer? Thanks...

How do you do "sell first, build second"? - I will not promote

I get the general idea of the "sell first, build second" principle but I'd like to get some inputs from people who actually made that happen as it seems to be as the best approach to start a startup. So far, I've always built the product, at least the rough 1st version, but would love to sell my next idea first, and then spend more time building it. I will not promote

I will not Promote - Struggling to Expand Beyond One Client

I’m currently in a bit of a tricky situation as the CEO of a company that has been working with the same client for the past two years. We’re a small but dedicated team with 15 developers, all working within the fintech space, and honestly, our relationship with the client has been fantastic. We deliver great work, and the team is really solid. But here’s the thing – we’ve been stuck with just this one client for far too long. Over the past couple of years, we’ve tried a...
