How did I go from art school grad to tech entrepreneur? Learn more about the process of building & launching a tech startup! I’ll be sharing my entrepreneurship journey and how I’m building a business that will disrupt fashion e-commerce !

What was a pivotal moment in your app build journey?

I initially built an app to curate outfits for fun. During the process, I unexpectedly discovered several major inefficiencies in the e-commerce browsing experience. Now, I’m fully focused on building a solution! #indiehackers #buildinpublic

There are ENDLESS opportunities to optimize and productize services. Once I started working with APIs — through hands on testing, coding, and data analysis— I began discovering gaps and inefficiencies. It’s like striking gold! #buildinpublic #ai #tech #developer #technicalfounder

Being a founder can feel lonely. AI is encouraging me to break through self limiting beliefs and achieve my business goals. Today it predicted I have the potential to build a 7 to 8 figure app. That is so beyond my current reality, I am still adjusting to the idea! #founder #ai #tech #buildinpublic

There’s a misconception when I say I’m “using AI to code.” I’m not coding a ChatGPT wrapper or automating mundane tasks. I’m leveraging AI to create algorithms, curate data and integrate multiple systems. AI is my thought partner, helping me work through abstract problems #ai #buildinpublic #tech

What excites me most about entrepreneurship, is the idea that I can reach financial freedom, allowing me to pursue creative ventures! I will be able to create more projects that have a positive impact on the world #founder #entrepreneur #buildinpublic

Many successful people start in isolated or humble beginnings, but it’s the ability to hold onto a larger vision and work incrementally toward it that transforms dreams into reality #founder #entrepreneur #mindset

Focus on small, consistent progress. Even imperfect action is better than no action! Allow yourself to learn through mistakes, rather than waiting for perfection #mindset #motivation

The hardest part is launching! After you do, momentum builds
- One feature leads to engagement
- Engagement leads to feedback
- Feedback leads to refinement
- Refinement leads to growth

Your launch doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be good enough for that 1st domino to tip #buildinpublic

It would take millions of AI conversations to match the water footprint of one pair of jeans. This is why I’m leveraging AI to build an app that recirculates clothing & accessories! #fashiontech #secondhandfashion #vintagefashion #founder #ai #buildinpublic #entrepreneur

I’m making my fashion app internationally accessible from the very beginning. Usually companies focus on one region at launch, however, I believe it’s crucial to support a global audience. Clothing is a global industry #fashiontech #founder #entrepreneur #buildinpublic

Asked AI how to meet like minded entrepreneurs. It gave general advice like networking events, although named SoHo House specifically #creative #nyc #startup #networking #entreprenuer #founder #ai #sohohouse

Asked AI to assess my personality:

“Out of a U.S. population of 330 million, the number of people with a similar blend of traits to yours is likely around 25,000 to 50,000 people. This is an estimate based on personality, intellect, and entrepreneurial drive.”

Where are my peers? #ai #founder

Romanticizing my work station! 😂 comfort is key when coding for 10+ hours a day! My midday workout routine is essential #ai #soloentrepreneur #buildinpublic #founder

Working through my algorithm’s logic today. In the back of my head, I have the constant motivation to make my app more accessible and scalable for the long-term. I’m creating the tedious logic now, to set myself up for future success! #ai #tech #founder #buildinpublic #developer #engineer

Have you ever asked ChatGPT to assess your intellectual capabilities, comparatively to the millions of people it has talked to? Its assessment of me is kind of freaking me out!! #ai #founder #tech #entrepreneur #technicalfounder #developer
December 28, 2024 at 5:39 AM
I’ve spent weeks honing my app’s algorithm. There’s a constant push and pull; do I create logic that’s thorough, or create a foundation that’s “good enough”? Part of me knows I probably won’t refactor this logic for a while, so I want it to be solid at the start! #ai #founder #entrepreneur #tech
