Congrats on the launch, and well done on bringing Buzzabout to life! 🚀 Audience research can often be time-consuming and imprecise, so having a tool that quickly gathers real-time insights from social media discussions is a huge advantage for marketers. The simplicity of your platform is a big win for getting actionable insights quickly! I’m curious - how does Buzzabout ensure the relevance...

I helped couple of companies to start from the scratch, with a very minimal budget. Usually, when you just started, and do not know whether the strategy will work, you need to start with a small budget but show some results early on. So I recommend to focus on one ICP, with one product offer, for one marketing channel. Get first feedback -> make updates if needed -> get first results...

Failure and setbacks - they're part of the deal. You don’t handle them - you use them. Every failure is a lesson disguised as a punch to the gut. The only difference between winners and losers is how they react when they get knocked down. Adapt, learn, and keep going.

Not every startup should be funded. It depends on the potential scale, and the complexity of the project. Try to bootstrap Mars colonization or neuro-brain-chip implantation. Moreover, if we take 2 similar projects for the same ICP, one is bootstrapped and another one is VC funded, which one has more chances to succeed?

Congrats on the launch, Alex! It’s clear you’ve built something that addresses a huge pain point for small and mid-sized sales teams - predictability and data-backed decision-making are so critical for growth. I also like that you’re making accurate sales planning more accessible for teams without overwhelming them with complexity. How customizable is Forecastio for different industries or...

Hi team, I like the unique touches like the Sunflower widget and mood-tracking calendar - simple but effective ways to build positive habits and reflect on progress. One question - how does Sunrise evolve with users over time? Are the journal prompts or feedback personalized based on someone’s mood history or previous entries?

Finally we are going back to normal. Working from home is not normal. Home is the place for family and rest. If you are alone and you do not have family - maybe it’s ok. But it is proven that if you work often in your bed - the quality of your sleep is not so good. The same with work at home - deep in your brain you associate the stress of work with your home. And suddenly you realize that you...

X is the best for communication with the startup community

Building something from the ground up, pushing beyond limits, and watching it grow - that’s where I find meaning. It’s not about passion or waiting for some magical "purpose" to appear. It’s about creating it. Every day, you show up, you build, you grind. That’s purpose. So yeah, my work doesn’t just give me purpose - it’s the reason I get up and go hard.

Weekends are where you outwork the competition. They’re sleeping, you’re building. My weekend plans? Work mode, always.

Work-life balance is a fairy tale for people who aren’t serious. You want balance, go get a yoga mat. You want success? Embrace the imbalance. Here’s how I see it: when you're building something great, there’s no 50/50. It’s all-in or don’t bother. Family and friends will understand if they’re on the same page. If not, they'll complain - and that's fine. But success doesn’t wait for balance;...

Congrats on the launch, Haseeb ! The memory system that allows these companions to remember past conversations and preferences adds an extra layer of personalization that makes each interaction feel more meaningful. I like how MeetClones caters to personal growth and expert advice, making it a versatile tool for both self-improvement and career development. But how adaptable are the companions...

Congrats on the launch, Richard ! It's exciting to see how you're bridging the gap between domain professionals and AI technology. The ability to build AI agents tailored to specific industries without needing to write code is a game-changer for so many fields. I love that you’ve evolved from a vector database to an all-in-one AI agent platform - clearly focusing on what solves real business...

Congrats on the launch, the Solidroad team! 🚀 It's awesome to see how you're taking training and assessments to a whole new level, especially for sales and support teams. Automating training and scaling real-world role-plays is such a smart way to ensure continuous improvement without burning out managers with repetitive tasks. One question - how does Solidroad handle ongoing learning for...

Content audits are usually such a hassle, so having a platform that not only identifies underperforming content but also offers actionable steps to improve it is invaluable. Plus, the fact that it forecasts traffic and clicks gives a huge strategic advantage. Do you use data from Google Search Console for it?

This is such a unique and powerful way to help people take control of their digital habits. I love the flexibility of being able to choose exercises and difficulty levels, making it accessible for everyone. One thing I’m curious about is how does Clearspace handle long-term habit formation? Does it track progress over time or provide insights into how digital habits are improving?

You don’t balance it - you dominate both. Long-term vision is the destination, short-term results are the fuel that gets you there. If you're not hitting short-term goals, your long-term vision is a fantasy. Here’s the deal: you need to be ruthless with execution. Crush the daily, weekly, monthly targets. That’s what gives you momentum. But never lose sight of where you're headed. Every...

The right customer research should solve this problem. Do not listen what customers say, watch what do they do and what they are struggle with. Remember famous Ford saying: If I ask my customers what do they want, they would tell a faster horse. "The Mom Test" framework is still the best unbeatable guide for this issue.
