I'm gonna teach you how to grow your startup in 2025. most founders get stuck building things nobody wants. here's my proven framework to build a profitable startup in 2025: [Finding your golden idea] > analyze top 100 products on product hunt > look for products with 1000+ upvotes > identify common pain points in comments > spot gaps in features/pricing > build something 10x better you can do the same with reddit comments or fb closed communities to find your niche. [Validation hack that saved me $25k] > create a landing page > run $500 in ads > target ideal customers > measure email signups > aim for >20% conversion > if you hit this, you've struck gold [30-day MVP sprint] > week 1-2: core feature only > week 3: user feedback + iterations > week 4: polish + launch prep > remember: done > perfect [Growth Engine (how i got 10k users)] > join 3 communities where your users hang out > help solve problems (no pitching) > share progress publicly > get 10 beta users from each > turn them into vocal advocates [Scaling Playbook] > optimize conversion (aim for 3-5%) > build in public on twitter > launch on product hunt > cold dm 100 potential users daily > leverage micro-influencers [Retention Gold (87% of startups fail here)] > weekly user interviews > implement feedback in 48hrs > create a community > reward power users > build in public = compound growth [Pricing Game] > start with premium pricing > offer yearly plans (2.3x more revenue) > partner with complementary tools > build multiple revenue streams [If you're an existing startups] > kill features nobody uses > double down on what works > raise prices by 20% > launch affiliate program That's all. ------ I keep sharing startup growth hacks on @ankit_saas Follow my journey, cheers!

Who said fundraising is easy? Only 37 investors out of 1604 are actually ready to talk to founder. And only 5 from 1604 are ready to go further. #money #Startups

Building #saas without metrics it's like jumping over obstacles at night without any lights 🤔. Measure at least 20% of these metrics will give big boost in business, leadership and personal performance.

The Musk biography is really a business book dressed in a personal tale. Easily worth the read alone for the vivid tutorial in how to apply The Algorithm.

I got rid of @Calendly a few month ago .. Old, no update, empty design ... I tried @lemcalhq and I LOVED the "social first" approach for day 0 Today they are on Product Hunt 👇 Support them if you feel like it ❤️ producthunt.com/posts/lemcal

My side project just hit $200k ARR! 🥹 Does that mean it should not be a side project anymore? Even though I'm shocked and elated it could ever get this far, there is an insecure voice in my head that still reminds me it could all go to zero overnight 😬 It took over 2 years of obsession and consistency to bootstrap projectionlab.com as a solo dev on nights and weekends from $0 to $16,7142 MRR. → 9 months to get to $1,000 → 4 months to get to $2,000 → 7 months to get to $5,000 → 6 months to get to $10,000 → 2 months to get to $16,7142 But evidently that little voice just never goes away! At first it tells you things like "no one would buy this", or "you don't have enough skill." Then it tells you "this won't actually scale" and "you'll never get real traction." At each stage, there are fun new things to fuel the paranoia! 😅 But zooming out, I wonder if it is beginning to look silly that PL is just a side project. I know folks like @thejustinwelsh and @dvassallo advocate side projects as a de-risking tactic (to a point). But is this the milestone where they and the other solopreneur legends who have inspired me would say "Okay, now you're just being a chicken! 🐔" If you have any sage advice to spare @levelsio, @dannypostma, @arvidkahl, @tibo_maker, @dr, @yongfook, @damonchen, @tdinh_me, @alexwestco, and @MrNick_Buzz, I would love to hear where you weigh in 🙏 So what does everyone think? At what point is it time to throw caution to the wind?

We see a lot in enterprise projects are coming to #BDD. Some believe it's vital, some say it's controversial. It depends on many factors. We are just curious 🤔 ... Do you use the #gherkin #BDD approach in your QA processes for manual or automated tests ⁉️
20%Yes in manual testing
10%Yes in automated testing
10%Yes, manual and automated
60%No, we don't use it
