Athena.vc has a concept known as building in public and making announcements in public every week for self-accountability. This blog post is part of the building in public updates.
What I did last week?
- Continued developing my SaaS product WebVeta, major update in 3 – 4 weeks.
- Read Athena’s startup 1 hour startup course.
- I have product so skimmed over Pick an important problem, studied what problems some of other companies are solving.
- Did some analysis of my own startup’s competition
- Sent requests for mentorship via Microsoft for Startup Founder’s. I might not record those conversations (Athena.vc suggests recording) due to privacy concerns of people who might respond, i.e I respect Microsoft for Startup Founders.
- Read some articles about other startups.
- Started using Toggl for keeping track of time from mid day 07/30 and realized I am putting in 70 - 85 hours per week on my startup.
KeyPoints:
- Starting a successful startup requires grit, determination, and a willingness to put in the time and effort needed to achieve success.
- Providing value through education and support can help customers get the most out of your product.
- Focus on building momentum
- Leverage existing solutions rather than building everything from scratch.
- Focus on speed and velocity in achieving product-market fit.
- Use content marketing and SEO as starting points to attract early adopters and build momentum.
What are plans for next week?
- Plans of introducing paid tiers in WebVeta, planning to integrate with Stripe.
- Lot of experimentation happened over the past 2 – 3 weeks and several code snippets. Now integrating these code snippets into code base!
- Planning to talk with few people, talked with 2 people from different backgrounds in the past. I might not record but I am planning to take notes and mention their names in social media (subject to their agreement).
I don’t have any fake aliases, nor any virtual aliases like some of the the psycho spy R&AW traitors of India.
