The FMF and PMF doesn't have strong back support inside south Asia, as compared to west. Though, investors are interested and non-technical individuals have 46% and 68% positive response on it.
How to get started from zero? And what's the right way and path to start and work on? I'm good at research, communication, presentation and management.
How did you decide on the current business? Do you have sales? Pre-orders? Why high school graduates? Do they have the money to buy what you’re selling?
It's a product, which will be free until they start revenue. A one stop solution for startups and founders on finding out product market fit and founder market fit.
More like do not attempt a business where you need an outside bespoke skill unless you know how to make bets, limit your losses, deal with contractor, agencies or employees who may do a bad job or rip you off.
The word bespoke is there because some things can be outsourced more easily like legal, accounting, hosting etc.
All software is new and bespoke, otherwise we're not writing software we're just integrating existing parts, and that's the difference between IT (and CI/CD) and architecture/programming. You can hire for all of those, of course, but you cannot be at the helm of a company that depends on bespoke architecture and programming without being that person yourself.
Do the hard work and seek headaches. Don't quit learning and practicing until the headache resolves. That builds your value.
If you can get a job that helps your career. Career means anything not necessary working in a job forever. But if you pick up a skill like web dev that'll help you as a founder and as a worker.
Of these goals, learn to program. Choose a backend, it doesn't matter much which one. Flask to Rails. Build a web app (HTML template stuff) and an API with that. Then choose a front end, from HTMX jazzing up that HTML template to React.
Spend 3 months on the back end part time 2 hours per week. Spend 3 months on the front end.
During this, delve into stuff like basic keeping a VPS/Linux secure. CSS. Database should take care of itself so long as you use something like SQLAlchemy (Flask) or similar but by all means figure out 'why' and 'how' indexing etc work.
Be patient. Six months later you'll be 22½.
And I'm afraid of being on two boats, neither technical, nor non-technical. As of now, I'm good at research only.
If you wanna learn to code, there's a few good udemy courses (get a project based one). Start with JavaScript. Just so you know this will take a long time, but you'll understand your product better and it will benefit you more in the long run.
The data, insights and information from the platform will be highly valuable for VCs and investors.
Our priority is on PMF, providing a roof for investors, entrepreneurs and startups.
I'm 50 and WTF does that mean? You were still a teenager a few years ago.
I've $13 k debt to pay within a year from previous startup. And I don't have any way till now to payback.
> good at management, presentation, communication, negotiation and debate.
You should learn to code, those other things you think you're good at, I think you're being deluded about what you actually bring to the table.
I don't mean to condescend but you haven't done any of those things yet either.
To put this into context, THERE ARE 22 years old who work with CEOs and advise VPs of f500 companies, and even they haven't REALLY done any of those things yet.
But the things is I'm more research oriented before taking action on something.
Learn to code.
If I tried to get hands on everything, I'll end up with nothing.
