Since the first moment you had a startup idea, how much time have you invested on it? If it's profitable, how much did it take for you to make it profitable? Could you also talk a bit about your startup idea? Lots of questions but I'm curious about your stories as entrepreneurs, specially the time you've invested on your startups
Last three years I launched at least 4 ideas. You get super handy with putting together the website, landing page, MVP, etc. So every time you start, it takes less time.
For me it's a great way to try new things as a hoppy. But early 2020, I transitioned to full-time working on https://mobilocard.com 5 months after launch. There was an inflection point where I saw that if I would put 100% of my time in it, I could at least pay for rent.
Fast forward to today, our product has been used 186,000 times in 137 countries and we are a team of 14.
I haven't slept in 36hrs since we started our launch, and haven't had a real salary in 3 years.
Lots.. everything... but it's also kind of a life choice. Life = mission.
Never found that with a salaried job, but could be I just worked in the wrong places :)
Hey José, I have changed my mind multiple times thought the years on this. Read about it too much too.
Well with the tech space evolving so much there are 2 approaches I usually take. If you are disruptive and you try to solve something new then, time to market, MVP and not a lot of time is my approach. But if you are trying to solve an old problem, then usually, the product/service will need a lot of time.
We launched Airdesk today and we were under the radar for 3 years. Not investing enough time was just not an option.
Startups could take your skin away, hell of a lot effort is required in the beginning, Apple developers in early stage lost their girl friends, broke their marriages and much more....So be prepared and don't lose hope
Coloban - 2 years in a row and not going to stop :) With every new feature everyone loves it just more and more
Never thought the work can be fun until started to use it actually, ha-ha :)
Just passed the 2 year milestone... incorporated in Nov '18, worked on designs Jan-Mar, started development Apr '19, launched Alpha Aug'19, and we've been iterating since. 2020 was a challenging year with a few setbacks, but now we're gearing up for a massive update in Mar '21. We're not profitable, but generating some early revenue.
