Hey! Dru here. Founder of Trends.vc. We help entrepreneurs discover new markets and ideas. In February 2017, with $250,000 in savings and no plan other than taking a mini-retirement, I quit my job as a big-data engineer. I spent the next three years traveling and learning, practicing Jiu-Jitsu, doing improv, and building products on the side. On February 10th, 2020 I posted the first-ever Trends Report, focusing on Problem, Players, Predictions, Opportunities, Haters, Solutions, and Key Lessons.Since then Trends.vc reached 48,000+ subscribers and 1,000+ Trends Pro Members. Happy to answer any questions on topics we've covered or the journey so far. AMA!

@olutosin_bello Hey Olutosin - If you plan to do the research yourself, make sure it's something you can stick it. It may take a long time for a positive external feedback loop to form. You might as well enjoy the process. - Based on your niche, find channels/communities to share the reports. - Build and share the reports. - Know that quality will improve over time. Don't panic or quit if it's not as good as you want it to be. Here's Ira Glass on this topic:
This advice assumes that you plan to take a similar approach to Trends.vc. With hundreds or thousands of members. Instead of an agency approach with 10-12 high-paying clients. There's no right/wrong answer. It's a matter of taste.
