Early Entrepreneurs - Stand Your Ground “i will not promote” I want every new entrepreneur to hear this. Stand Your Ground! As someone new to startups, I didn’t push back enough during the design of my application. I was dealing with an experienced UX/UI designer and followed their guidance, even though it went against what I was comfortable with/wanting. One example is they convinced me to do manual vs automated sign up for users in MVP. Now that I have a technical lead, that person stated that the only way to proceed is automated. Because of this, i’m now... 4 1 replies
What’s one thing you wish you knew before launching? I Will Not Promote Hi - I’m launching ~~REDACTED, I WILL NOT PROMOTE~~ soon™. It’s my first real launch *(unless you count a small free site I made for WoW tooltips)*, and I’d love to hear from those of you who’ve done a launch from 0 before. I know I should have done more pre-launch, I've learned that for the next time. But now, this is where we're at. What is just a pitfall to avoid spending time and energy on *(I've heard paid ads is a waste of time and money, does... 1 1 replies
What’s the Fastest Way to Test if a Startup Idea is Worth It? - I will not promote There’s a lot of talk about MVPs, prototypes, and market validation, but I wonder… **what’s the fastest way to test if an idea is even worth pursuing?** I’ve seen founders pre-sell before building, others launch a landing page with ads, and some go all-in on building first.

What's One Piece of Advice You Wish You'd Ignored as a First-Time Founder? - I will not promote We all get bombarded with advice when starting a company.

Front-end Development - Tech Suggestions - I will not promote I am a non technical bootstrapped founder developing my MVP. I am attempting to bring my product to market with minimal features to test the fit. My developer has suggested the following for a front-end after seeing my designs from my designer. Any suggestions on his use of technology? For the development of the MVP (Minimum Viable Product), we should use Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and ShadCN/UI.

Looking for potential tech co-founders. I will not promote Looking for potential tech co-founder. I will not promote Hi, I (we) have been building Asakiri, a language learning site where anyone can create a course. Problem - Language teachers find it hard to create their courses and sell them to students Language teachers often make their own courses usually in wordpress (or other nocode site builders) or do it themselves. For the former, they are not meant for language course creation so there is a lot left to be desired from the students. In the latter case of... 5 0 replies
Finding cofounders as motivated as you are. I will not promote. Finding anyone willing to join a pre-seed startup and work in their free time for no money is already hard enough. Most of the time, offering equity doesn't convince people to join you. Even when you give someone equity in the company, getting them to really commit and work hard for a year or more is almost impossible. Does anyone have advice for how to find good cofounders? I will not promote. 5 9 replies
Anyone based in Sweden? I will not promote. I live in Sweden, and spent most of last year running my own tech startup with 2 cofounders. We got into 3 startup incubators, but things didn't work out in the end. I briefly tried getting another company (not tech) off the ground after that, but that didn't go anywhere. I had another idea for a tech project, though, and have been hard at work developing it. I'm happy with the progress on the new project, and am applying things I learned from the incubators. For example, I started... 4 4 replies
I will not promote, has anyone used startupmag? Has anyone used startupmag online? I don't want to insert a URL for obvious reasons but if you could have a look yourself and if anybody has any experience in using this platform, I'd be grateful. I guess what I'm trying to get to the bottom of is is this a web scrap or are these actual genuine people interested in what the website suggests they're interested in? 3 0 replies

I will not promote: I just left my third startup Two weeks ago, I posted on here that I was having issues with a friend of 15 years who invited me to start a startup with him. I just left it yesterday morning because we have not made more than $112.50 in a year from virtual clothing sales. The other partner and I did not know about this until we were discussing virtual clothing as a way to generate revenue until my ex friend revealed the $112.50 revenue from the virtual shirts made 15 years ago by other people... 1 0 replies
What happens when software MVPs become “too easy” to build? (I will not promote) As more and more tools come out such as coding agents that allow founders to create MVP prototypes quicker, what happens to the other previous ways to validate or invalidate ideas? For example, we’ve seen successful startups start as manual services or demos like videos. My tried and true method is to put a framework in a book and sell consulting. Then bootstrap revenue to build software. Now I’m watching “young guns” prototype one-feature apps in hours. Sure, they’re not production quality but as far as MVPs go, way... 3 3 replies

Then I got into a rabbit hole of gps trackers for kids, because child abduction is higher at certain ages. The market onle has a couple of products and the mostly work but because the kids don't like to have stuff that are not toys, they usually don't wear them or remove them. The idea is to have a watch that feels like a spy gadget. So imagine a Tamagotchi, and and apple watch combined, also with a laser, a... 4 5 replies
