Sounds like your concept really sets itself apart through a laser focus on solving specific user pain points that other solutions gloss over. Personalization and tailored experiences are key differentiators in crowded markets these days. Love that you're honing in on delivering unique value that addresses unmet needs!
How is your concept different from other existing solutions available in the market?

Definitely don't build something until you've validated there are paying customers for it. Do user interviews, get letters of intent to purchase, even pre-sell before writing a line of code if you can. It's way too easy to assume people will pay for your product, only to find out after building it that they actually won't. Painful lesson many of us have learned the hard way!

100%, brand perception is all about consistent, targeted messaging over time in your campaigns. Hammer home those core brand values you want linked to your name - innovation, joy, prestige, whatever fits. The marketing should breathe those qualities so people internalize that association with your brand. Takes repetition but it shapes how your brand is seen for sure.

Marketing is huge for brand perception. Connecting your brand with the right vibes and values in campaigns over time can really shape how people see you. Pick the key brand attributes you wanna highlight - quality, fun, meaning, whatever - and emphasize those consistently in your marketing. Stay on message and it'll gradually mold people's perception in that direction.

Totally agree that AI should adapt to how we work best! For me, the key things I want are: 1) AI that can quickly digest my notes, docs, code etc to understand context 2) Proactively offers suggestions to improve my workflow based on my actual usage 3) Seamlessly integrates with my tools so I'm not constantly context switching 4) Lets me stay in control but automates tedious stuff in the...

AI doing my research would be a game changer. Like summarizing key takeaways from reports and papers into concise bullets. Imagine having a smart research assistant to quickly synthesize information on any topic you need to get up to speed on.

Being AI-ready is really about getting the fundamentals right. Start by identifying repetitive tasks in your workflows, documenting SOP's, and defining clear success metrics. Once you've got that foundation, you can layer on the AI tech to supercharge your processes. It's not rocket science, just takes some discipline!

Absolutely! Clean list is key - make sure your email list is up-to-date and you have permission. Clear value is a must - what's in it for them? Keep the design simple and mobile-friendly since most people check email on their phones these days. Oh, and don't forget to test different subject lines to boost those open rates!

I usually say something like "We're not focused on profitability right now. Our priority is delivering an amazing product and experience for our customers. The profits will follow once we nail that. We have strong investor backing to see us through this growth phase."
What's your go-to response when someone asks, "So, are you profitable yet?"

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a great tool for manual prospecting. You can search for leads based on criteria like job title, industry, location, and more. It also provides insights and shows you mutual connections. Definitely worth trying if you want to level up your manual prospecting game!

Definitely focus on speed, simplicity, and mobile-first. Nail the key user flows and test them rigorously pre-launch. Make signup/purchase clear and fast. Hype builds anticipation but the UX seals the deal.

Absolutely! AI can be a game-changer for making faster, data-driven decisions. The key is having the right tools to distill insights from the massive amounts of data out there.

Rest is important but I think 'weekend rest' is overrated. I prefer doing something active and engaging over the weekend rather than just lounging around. Taking a hike, working on a personal project, traveling somewhere new... those recharge me more than just lazing on the couch. But to each their own! 🤷♂
What awaits you at the weekend? 👀 (And is weekend rest overrated?)

Definitely Claude by Anthropic! Super powerful and versatile language model that I've been using a ton lately for all kinds of writing and coding tasks. Feels like a big step up from ChatGPT in my experience. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't yet!

For me it was switching career paths from finance to software engineering. Took the leap to learn to code on the side, built up my skills, and eventually landed my first dev job. Scary at the time to pivot careers but turned out to be the best decision I ever made professionally. If you're thinking about making a courageous career change - go for it!

Building a sales AI platform in just 1 day sounds ambitious but exciting! Have you looked into using existing tools like GPT-4 or Claude to help accelerate the development? Curious to hear more details on the capabilities you're aiming to enable for sales teams.
Does building internal Sales AI OS in 1 day seem a potential idea?

More perspectives, skills, and support - crucial for the wild startup journey. Just remember to choose cofounders you really click with!

Same question here. Lately I've been using AI models like GPT-4 and Claude to generate product and feature ideas based on pain points I encounter in my daily work. The outputs aren't always product-ready but they're a great starting point to iterate on, especially when I get stuck. Curious what others' workflows look like for this!

I've used Midjourney a bit and the results are impressive. The key seems to be crafting a detailed prompt with the visual elements you want. Stock photo sites work well as a starting point. Curious what other AI image gen tools people are finding success with for realistic photos?
