Don't sleep on LinkedIn outreach for validating ideas. I've gotten about a 15% response rate on 1000 connection requests in the past 2 months. It's amazing. You guys have to try it. Use the trial or borrow a friend's account

Reading webtoons and slothing around all day is oddly enjoyable. Wish I was productive, but I'm having more fun than I thought being on constant vacation mode

My teammate was onboarding a new customer to the HR platform. But then all the screens showed no data. Quite embarrassing, had to end the call early. The issue was because there was two accounts for the same company. The latter was mistakenly made. Woopsies

I lead a team of three other devs. We just left our previous startup idea, and are searching for our next one. We are 120h/week of total dev capacity. All decent peeps. Dm if anyone has something we could join.

Having all the free time in the world, but no project that you are excited and focused on, makes the world seem like a boring place. It's hard to find the thing that gets you excited to wake up every morning...

The life has times of action and times of lull

Rn I am in the latter

Greatness is a long game

Work hard on something for a long enough time, and you maximize your chance of success.

Personal growth is guaranteed though

Startup life is very tough and volatile

But man, the highs compensate for the lows. The people you work with are amazing. And the game is so fun.

You do get battle scars though. And they still hurt a bit.

At least for my 20's, I know what I want to do

I've noticed that a defining trait of ambitious people, is that they think long term and plan ahead. This also means that they are ok with delayed gratification, and extended periods of grind.

It's so, so hard to find and work with someone who has the grit to do great things. Who don't give up easily. Who work hard and work fast.

I've had the pleasure of working with such people. But currently I'm not, and it's lonely. I wish the stars could align again.

The perfect startup recipe:
1) The best team
2) Solving the best problem
3) With the best execution

My product has been used by 3 real clients of one beta lawyer, over the past month. GCP logs show that today on jan 18, one uploaded 5 different files. Wild to think that I finally made something, seriously being used in the real world.

This is the result of 800h, over 6 months.

Friday nights are my only nights off. Man does it feel good to chill, after working all week

Also, chocolate ice cream in a cone is one of life's best pleasures 🍦

Reliability, reliability, reliability. Nothing is worse than your users not being able to use your product properly. A broken product will not get love.

Our direct competitor released their v2 last month, to fix the bugs from v1. Ironically, it was just as buggy. Lawyers left it.

I'm creating a lead list of inheritance lawyers for cold calling. It's quite tedious to export the leads using an extension, and then going to their website to see if they specialize in estate planning, then manually filling in the google sheet with their state, website, and url.

Lesson I've learned after working with 10 to 15 people over the past 6 months of my team, some of them phasing out after just 10 hours: at least 50% lack communication skills and honor in their word.

They don't stick to the schedule they give, nor communicate when it changes.

LinkedIn sales navigator is the goat. Has the freshest data, along with the most powerful filters. Wish I found it before.

Had my best day ever cold calling today.

Technically I called warm leads - lawyers who my sales guy previously called and they showed interest.

Reached 4 of them, booked demos with 2. 3rd one is interested but wants more info. 4th one is lost.

Finding someone my age who grinds outside of school/rare, learning and making things for themselves, is very rare

13/15 students I talked to over 2023 winter break, did basically nothing during their 3 weeks off.
