Learnings and Reflection from 2024
Hey guys, Just wanted to have a discussion about experiences and reflections from 2024. Just as a personal recap of the last year, I’ve experienced: * Pivoting our startup out of the insurance industry which we had zero experience in. * Being stuck in pivot hell and juggling between 3 different industries * Finally, settling on an AI web scraping/data extraction company. * Finally making revenue on a startup. Here’s a few things I’ve learned in the last year when it comes to pivoting and ideation: 1. Just do stuff, don't be afraid of action: A lot of times we're perfectionists and want to have the best idea or the best product before getting started. We get scared of just doing stuff, whether it's marketing, sales, or even engineering. As long as you're moving chess pieces forward you'll be constantly learning about what the user wants. Don't get stuck being stagnant. 1. Pick a problem you've faced: Ideally, pick a problem you’ve faced. This reduces a lot of the learnings that you’ll have to go through because you’ve already dealt with the problem. Not to mention, you’ll know and understand the user base. 1. Don’t build solely for yourself: When you’re solving your problem you get in the trap of building a solution for yourself. Just because you find it to be the perfect solution doesn’t mean the world agrees with that. Use user feedback to steer your startup and use your expertise to row the startup forward. Any learnings you guys had in 2024?3
