Want to share Pre-Launch feelings of a first-time founder as we fully launch our marketplace tomorrow on Monday, April 22nd. πŸš€ Naturally, emotions and thoughts are all over the place as we are less than 24 hours away from going Live. #1 Feeling: Thankful for the Journey I'm extremely thankful for how far we've come over the past year to get here. As mentioned, this is my first startup, and to go from 0 to 1 has been exhilarating and has taught me so much. Everything from Teamwork, Product, Design, GTM Strategy, Startup Legal and Finance fundamentals, etc. As I don't have a huge background in tech, I am forever indebted to this journey to get to the point where I can say I am launching my product tomorrow. #2 Feeling: Excited for what's to Come I'm excited for the good, the bad, and the ugly that comes with launching. Everything from the dopamine hits of upvotes and comments as well as the feeling of doom and gloom after the hype has worn off. I'm excited to be able to say I have a live startup I can call my own that ultimately solves the problem I am most passionate and motivated by - Creating an equal playing field for everyone. #3 Feeling: At Peace with what's Next I am at peace with what the potential reaction or non-reaction we may receive. With whatever traction, insights, or connections comes or does not with launching on PH, I am at peace. Admittedly this is due to the fact we have re-accelerated growth with no marketing dollars over the past 90 days. Ultimately our strategy to go after our supply for our marketplace and our diverse marketing efforts has paid off ahead of our launch. Any boost from launching will just be the cherry on top as we have amassed some amazing initial users on our platform. Lastly, I am at peace as I know all the hard work to get to this point as well as how many hours over the past week my Co-Founder and I have put in to make this as amazing as possible. We have pretty much completed our internal launch checklist with no hiccups. I know our process was well thought out and focused therefore the outcome is secondary to me. With that being said Careering is live tomorrow, come check out our launch and give feedback here https://www.producthunt.com/products/careering
