Hey

@estraschnov
Niya is a 'AI for Good' tool that helps migrants and refugees access to jobs through our AI assisted Talent Pipelines - you guessed it, built on Bubble.
We just closed our £1.5m Seed round:
I'd love to showcase it at
If you are selling on
@MicroAcquire
, keep the following in mind
1. Buyer experience matters
2. Provide more information than the minimum
3. Decide who is your ideal buyer
4. Connect Stripe and Google Analytics to make it transparent
5. Make it simple to schedule calls
The world of
@microacquire
is still very small.
Was speaking to a few leaders from Australia, UK, and they had never heard of the platform.
This is still very niche, growing market.
1st venture: doubled profit on a content site over 2 years. Not my cup of tea.
2nd venture: Built & sold in 73 days via
@acquiredotcom
. Found my groove...
3rd venture: Another build & sell in 90 days. Replication success?
4th venture: 6 months hold, 7.5x return. Boom!

We moved from what I call the BUILD phase to the FEATURE phase - where we build only based on feedback.

knows what worked to get it into the hands of millions.
A simple sign up will change your mindset.
Making a product and growing it are 2 different skills.
You might have a great product, but if people don't know about it...
Good luck scaling.
After scaling 2 businesses to collectively over $10M ARR, I've learned a thing or two:
✅ What channels to explore
✅ How to make
Almost a month ago
@MrNick_Buzz
did a roast of
@launchlemonade
's landing page.
Made a few adjustments here and there, but its up and running...and we LOVE it.
Started my YouTube channel answering questions from the OpenAI Forum.
Do I have a plan. Nope. Just ship it.
Tools: Loom + YouTube Creator Studio + my cat in the background

My wife and I have been brainstorming ideas we could build together.
Her - loves food, grocery shopping
Me - loves no code and innovation
Guess what we are building...
No Code Tip 🔥
Add 5-minute Loom videos to your SaaS startup at various points in the journey.
Takes you 20 minutes to record 4. Reduced questions 10 fold.
I think there is a great opportunity for
@kernal_ideas
and
@yepdotso
to collaborate.
Share your idea publicly on
@kernal_ideas
-> get feedback from experts
Build your landing page on
@yepdotso
-> get early users to sign up
Hosting a free 1-1 for anyone who wants to launch a business and want to look at various options (pricing, agency, self-build etc)
No BS. DM me.
Anytime this Wednesday.
#buildinpublic
Brainstorming is an amazing tool.
@DG_9_6
and I are about to launch something cool.
If you are someone who wants to sit at the helm of an existing company ($1000 in revenue in 5 weeks), and shapes its growth, drop a 👍 and I'll dm you a video of our thinking tomorrow.
We implemented a 3 month plan.
Why?
A student said that he would buy it for 3 months, as that's how long he estimated it would take to land a job.
#buildinpublic
Starting your business is not the first step.
Finding a problem that if solved, would save someone hours, or increase their revenue is.
Don't go after the shiny object.
Day 1 completed.
MVP scoped. Thank you

The biggest struggle that I see the
#buildinpublic
founders face is getting their first 10 customers.
Post your website below.
@DG_9_6
and I will tell you how we would go about getting the first 10 customers. First 10 posts only.
This would be my
#buildinpublic
journey:
1/ Take an NDA and create sections (8-15)
2/ Take 5-10 samples for each section (80-150)
3/ Fine tune a model & test it on the
@OpenAI
playground
4/ Create a SaaS allowing users to generate NDA's for $99/mo
We built and sold
@onetap_ai
without writing a single line of code.
Building SaaS could not be more simpler. Invest your time in learning the right tools.
Over the last 3 years, I have cracked the art of building a product.
Combined, it drew over a million site visits, and bought in 100k+ revenue.
But, I’d say that my marketing was a 2/10.
So this time, I’m learning how to market a product, from scratch - over 30 days.

How can I help?
I have sold 4x companies. I am a CTO and we just raised $1.5m pre-seed. I am a co-founder of another tool and we just crossed 500 users in just a few months. DM's open.

Sounds Impossible?
Think again! 💡
This video by

taught me:
1. Being Interested> Being interesting
2. Always ask yourself,
“How can I provide value in the situation”
3. Never quit without launching!

@pitch2_0
Did you know, globally in 2021 we surpassed 1 Trillion USD in M&A value. They all have the standard Pitch Deck in common.
Ever felt like getting an expert panel to tell you exactly how they would go about running your idea.
Well, the team at

Super stoked to be a mentor/instructor for Cohort 8 of the NoCode x AI Bootcamp. It fits perfectly into an area that I have grown into over the last 3 years.

Someone I work with asked me this, 'when do you find time to sleep Tanveer?'.
Do I tell him that I am working on 3 micro-saas, while having a 9-5?
#buildinpublic
#saas
If you have an existing SaaS, increase your conversion by:
1. Deliver what your SaaS offers within 90 seconds for first-time users
2. Schedule 5 welcome sequence emails
3. Set up alerts for any user who does not go through 1 & 2 - email them 1-1
#buildinpublic
Diving into my tech stack for the new SaaS build:
- WordPress + Divi theme (front end & landing page)
- Bubble (app & back end)
- OpenAI + (summarization & audio creation)
- Pinecone (Vector database)
Building the future, one stack at a time.

(Golden) - whatever stack you use (no code, high code), make sure that your website loads < 2 sec. I use

Twitter DM, lifetime deals, forums, groups, 3rd party honest reviews
But, the core of everything, you need to pitch to the users emotion! That’s the secret.
