I feel like Im using Youtube more than anything else every single day. I want to learn some "hidden gems" channels, cause I feel I seen it all. Ideally channels around solopreneurship/indiehackers, 0$ marketing strategies, how-to-sell stuff fast, philosophy and economics. Here are my GO-TO channels that I watch almost daily:
@Raoul Pal the Journey man (Macro investing in crypto)
@Money ZG (macro investing in crypto)
@Pursuit of Wonder (interesting concepts around societal psychology & philosophy)
@Fireship - Tech edgelord (lol)
@Greg Isenberg (Solopreneurship)
@Starter Story (Solopreneurship, How to build and market apps)
I am new to this platform. We develop both software and hardware products, but since our software is designed to integrate with the hardware, we will likely be showcasing the hardware itself.
After browsing the content posted here over the past few days, I noticed a strong focus on software, so I wanted to ask:
1. Is this platform hardware-friendly?
2. Are links to Kickstarter allowed? (I ask because many platforms prohibit linking to it.)
One of the harder parts of building Hirevate hasn't been the code it's been getting real, unfiltered feedback out of early users. Most people say "looks good!" and then quietly never come back.
Specifically I'm trying to figure out the actual thing which is to get customer on my saas products with in first month
For people who've actually cracked this do you ask directly, watch behavior instead of asking, offer something in exchange for a real conversation? What worked versus what sounded good but got you nothing useful?
One of the biggest questions every early-stage founder faces today is: How do I launch my startup in this new era of AI-driven product development? It s so easy to build quickly now. Do I build first or validate first?
Personally, I ve seen hundreds of startups born in the past year. I m a grad student at MIT, and I created an AI accelerator for MIT and Harvard, so a lot of those startups have had amazing founding teams. I want to share some of the best practices I m seeing for getting products into market in an era where a lot of the old best practices seem to be shifting.
When building tools or exploring concepts for early-stage startups, I notice a lot of services focus on generating as many variations as possible.
But personally, seeing 50+ rough concepts usually just creates decision fatigue. It feels like getting 3 well-thought-out visual directions with a complete asset system ready to go would be way more useful.
