It certainly can work (I've been doing this for years now), good communication is key. That said, working in the same space would be more motivating and probably more efficient.

I guess it depends, if you're profiling a business as something that is developing cutting edge AI but in reality just uses other tools wrapped in a new jacket - it's not an insult but perhaps an indication to not convolute what the product really is. Ultimately if it can add value to users by leveraging GPT's, it's all good and there is a good reason to exist. I personally also take some issue...

High level: Define your ICP, a.k.a. who is the type of user that will benefit from your solution. Be specific in this, not just any website owner as many might not care a whole lot about user data. From ICP at an entity level you can proceed with determining who the right person to target is within the organizations you'll be focusing on. It's still a human that decides to buy or not after...

Don't have an account -.-

Definitely! Now I make sure to either just have 1 window open or select the right tab or window I want to show (using Google Meet mostly)

Not really a pricing page but would love to get your thoughts on the Raise Better landing page: https://raisebetter.capital Originally asked for landing page feedback in this thread: https://www.producthunt.com/disc... Thanks!

From what I've seen in raising capital on behalf of startups, content comes first. Design is a great support tool to convey information in a better way plus it can catch the attention of an investor early on so it does go hand in hand with each other. Ultimately the startup will primarily be judged on a number of investment criteria so if those are subpar but the design is great, the investors...

Don't be shy people!!

Probably managing yourself, especially in the early days where it is just you (+ co-founder(s)). Sometimes it's difficult to get going and get in the flow of getting things done. I think there is a lot of focus on how to manage teams, how to raise, growth hacking, ... while not too much on managing yourself. It's a learning curve for sure.

Get into outdoor sports, ideally something that requires full mental and physical engagement. E.g. MTB, trail running, rock climbing. It refreshes your mind and brings some perspective in that business is one aspect of life, not everything.

I think it is a real thing. Maybe it makes sense to move the focus away for monthly subscriptions to a longer term engagement such as e.g. annual payment.

Running or any physical activity outdoors really. For me personally it's the best way to clear the mind and get a fresh perspective on things.

I recommend to place the most impressive elements of what makes up your startup in the first few slides after you've introduced the problem and how you're addressing it. Assuming you are referring to a deck for early stage startups, the most important thing investors want to see is traction. Traction and its positive growth over time is the proof of demand that basically trumps everything...

Congrats on making the move 2 years ago! I'm currently in the process of launching a new venture that combines my passion for both finance and startups. It's going to take the pain out of fundraising for founders. Having been my own boss now for over 10 years, I do have to recommend to you to not be 24/7 engaged and focused on your business. It can actually work counterproductive if that's...
