Really resonates with me, this question. As someone with a background in software, I’ve often found myself in a similar spot.
When scouting for co-founders in the past, my main focus was always on finding someone who really understood what the customers wanted, and who had strong skills in marketing and sales. I felt confident handling the tech side, but having a partner who excelled in those other areas made a world of difference.
One piece of advice I often share, especially for those looking to launch an MVP, is to consider using a no-code tool or an AI-powered product development platform. These can be incredibly helpful for getting your first 50-100 users. They not only provide a quick way to build something functional but also offer valuable insights into customer behavior and the potential business model around your product.
For no-code development, Softr and Glide are some of the platforms I’ve seen people have success with. They’re pretty user-friendly and a great starting point for non-tech founders to bring their ideas to life without getting too deep into coding
Totally agree with the idea of embracing No-Code, especially for entrepreneurs. I’m a developer myself and dove into entrepreneurship not too long ago. Looking back, I wish I’d explored No-Code options earlier. It could have saved me so much time, allowing me to focus more on the business side of things rather than getting bogged down in complex development tasks.
I learned the hard way that as a solo founder with limited funds, splitting my time between building the product and growing the business was tough. Now, I’ve gotten pretty deep into No-Code and even do some consulting. It’s fascinating to see different problems and help others create their own products.
Recently, I launched a small project on Product Hunt. It was a breeze to set up - just a few hours on a No-Code platform, and voila, over 100 users on day one! And now, I’m scaling it up, all with just a subscription to a No-Code service.
By the way, have you heard of BetterLegal? They’re a stunning example of No-Code success, scaling up to $10 million on Bubble. It’s inspiring and a bit of an eye-opener for someone like me who’s into software building and AI automation. Makes you think about the possibilities of the future with AI and allowing it to build amazing softwares.
What is your idea btw?
All the best, I would suggest using automations and AI for communications and scheduling’s and also for any kind of other help you may need such as creating content etc, this would help you keep your initial costs low in marketing and other areas.
I have a 3 bucket framework, which all revolve around the niche I am trying to be relevant which is AI for me
My content needs to be part of 3 buckets, for me it’s
I always come back to them when I am trying to build content, again I am no where near perfect content creator but this is what the content board looks like and then I have created a custom chatGPT prompt with my best posts and video script combined to fuel into this 3 buckets, though chatGPT is good with the scripts a lot of times I can only use maybe 30-40% of it only.
What is the niche you are creating content for.
