    I spent 3 days making a landing page. 1 week later I got $500 before even launching. I did this with: - less than 200 followers (at the time) - and almost 0 social media presence here is my story 🧵👇

    sf is not real it’s wild to me that people raise money before even start to get any customers AND it’s for software. If your already a technical founder (which most in sf are) then the cost to build is negligible I know there are other costs and I know why ppl need to

    luke warm take: most technical founders are scared of marketing because it requires putting urself out there and potentially looking dumb. coding is safe. u can hide behind ur screen and daydream about how everyone will love your product. put. it. out. there.

    every technical founder needs a reality check: ur code is not special. ur idea is not unique. what makes or breaks u is ur ability to get ppl to actually care. and that skill has nothing to do with how well u can leetcode

    being technical is ur unfair advantage as a founder but if u can't sell, can't market, can't get ppl excited... then ur just an engineer who should work at a company that has a sales team. and thats perfectly fine habibi
