That's when you remember why people pay for software.

The 5 levels of a personal brand:
1. Dreamer: consuming only
2. Tinkerer: posting, nothing lands
3. Operator: works only if you do
4. Media Company CEO: the machine runs
5. Iconic Brand: people repeat your words in rooms you're not in
Find your level. Make one move.

Founder communities worth joining if you're shipping B2B SaaS right now (bookmark this):
1. SaaStr - still the best free resource for founders at $1M-$30M ARR. the pattern-matching from peers alone is worth it. saastr(dot)com
2. Pavilion - operators and revenue leaders. if you're scaling a team, this is where the right conversations happen. joinpavilion(dot)com
3. Hampton - vetted founder community. smaller, higher signal, no noise. joinhampton(dot)com
4. Indie Hackers - if you're bootstrapped or seedstrapping, this is your people. indiehackers(dot)com
5. On Deck - fellowships and community for founders at different stages. oncedeck(dot)com
You can spend six months learning something the hard way or have one conversation with someone who's already been through it and solve it in an evening.
This is what makes smart money valuable;
the right introduction or partnership at the right time can open doors that the money alone might not.
over the last few months, i've made a few angel investments and learned a lot about what it really means to back a startup.
i've realized that my biggest value isn't just the money i invest.
it's the warm intros, fundraising support, design partnerships, and go-to-market work i can help founders unlock through my network and experience.
going forward, i want to be more intentional about where i invest my time, network, and capital.
if you're a founder with early traction and a proven product, looking to raise your next round, build strategic design partnerships, or scale your go-to-market, i'd love to connect.
i'm not looking to fund ideas alone. i'm looking to back founders who have started building and are ready to scale.
capital matters. but the right support at the right time can make a real difference.
if that's you, my dms are open.

Exactly my sentiment.
I check 3 things before pitching anyone:
1. Posting consistency
2. Engagement vs. follower count
3. Whether their content actually matches what their audience searches for
If those look fine, they don't need me.
If startup founders knew the amount of stress it takes to build, launch and scale a profitable product, many persons wouldn’t go into it.
but let’s take a minute ....
What do you think is the biggest emotional stress in building a product?
> Doing it alone
> Not meeting up to expectations (externally + internally)
> losing your focus + massive creative block
> comparison

i'm begging you:
- find 20 startups that raised a seed round 3 to 9 months ago
(ignore any raise that happened <3 months ago)
- pick the 5 that sell to the same kind of customer
- find their founders on X
- read their last 100 posts
- pull out every question someone asked them about the product
(skip the ones the founder replied to)
1. why do all this?
[bookmark this right now, you’ll forget this by tomorrow]
because the replies under a founder's posts are people telling you, in their own words, what they want.
- people asking for alternatives
- anyone annoyed about the price
- "does it do X yet?" type questions
- people who signed up, got stuck, and gave up
put all of it in a sheet.
that sheet is now a list of possible customers, the problem each one has, and the exact phrasing they use for it.
next problem:
2. how do these people end up noticing you?
- take the 10 questions that come up most
- make one useful piece of content for each
- leave your product out of it
- answer the question better than the startup did
- tag the startup when you post it. if it helps their users, their team reposts it and you borrow their audience
- if an alternative does something better, tag them.
- if your answer needs 2 or 3 products chained together, write that down. that combo is your tool in step 4
>important<
someone asking whether an AI tool can do a thing?
- record a 30-second clip of you doing it.
when the complaint is pricing..
- line up 5 alternatives and show what each one costs once you add everything up.
if a workflow keeps tripping people up..
- build a free template that handles it.
do this for 30 days.
3. then check which posts sent people to your profile.
- ignore likes
- more bookmarks than likes means people plan to come back. repeat that topic
- replies that ask a follow-up question count more
- anyone who went and used one of your templates
- and note which problems keep bringing in people you haven't seen before
drop the topics nobody bit on and keep going on the ones that pulled people in.
4. now build a free tool for the problem that came up most.
one small tool is enough for now. the full SaaS can wait.
- put the link in your bio
- drop it under conversations where it fits
- send it directly to the people who asked for exactly this
- ask users what they still can't do with it
now you've got:
a) an audience that cares about one specific problem
b) a list of people who have already said they have it
c) a free product they have a reason to try
d) feedback from real users on what to build next
5. now add a paid feature.
dm your 20 heaviest users first with the price and two lines on what it does.
> 5 say yes, build it.
> fewer than 5, the feature is wrong, the price is fine.
Goal:
- $10/month
- 100 paying users
- $1k MRR
that's the target.
the order is the whole trick: customers first, then what they wanted, then distribution built around their problems, and something to sell only at the end.
If you read till here, reply “I’m a reader” helps me understand if I should keep my content this long.
a like, repost or a reply also encourages me to keep posting. ✨

I went bankrupt trying to build the next unicorn tech startup
Within 5 years, I’d made millions in my next company as a solopreneur
You can’t lose if you don’t give up
Play the long game
