How do I build a business model out of an open source project?

An open source project run by us today has over 40 odd contributors. We'd like to understand what growth strategy needs to be used here. Does anyone have experience with this?

Chicken and egg problem with launching a platform

We've recently launched our analytics platform. We are trying to figure out whether we should first focus on gaining customers who would use our Templates to get one-click analytics solutions or focus on the community who can build those solutions on the platform. The more Templates we have, the more attractive the product is for the paying customers. But until we have more paying customers, it is not that attractive for the community of builders. In the future, we would like to make it possible for the builders to make money per Template. A model is similar to Salesforce, but for Analytics. Currently, we address our UVP to the paying customer's side, but we also added information that it is possible to build your own Templates. So the pitch for paying customers is: Turn your data into Insights with a single click Pick your Template to get actionable insights instantly, with the use of AI. No code, no data team required. The pitch for builders is: Use Stormly s AI-based building blocks to create custom no- code analytics solutions, or reuse the existing ones in the form of Templates. Do you have any thoughts on this? Or maybe a similar experience and you would like to share your learnings? Which side should we start with?

I'm finally taking the plunge and trying to market my 'product'

I have limiting beliefs and worries that my product/service is not ready, isn't good enough. I've been too caught up in talking myself into why it won't work. Now I'm ignoring all of those thoughts, to use a challenge I learnt about a few years ago, I'm taking 60 seconds of courage to do the thing I most want to do!

Do you barter with other startups?

At Alset, we created a mobile app for bartering and I'm curious to know if your startup barters? For example, to barter programming skills for marketing, etc. We feel this could be a really useful way for startups to make strides forward using their resources creatively rather than burning through cash. What are your thoughts on this idea?

How to look for a technical co-founder?

Hi everyone! My name is Katrin - co-founder of Frich, which is a social finance app for Gen Z, and a Harvard Master's student. Being a non-technical person myself, what would be the best way to find a technical co-founder who could build an app? I'd really appreciate your feedback and help!

Do you think we should keep daylight savings?

I case you missed it Europe's clocks went back an hour this Sunday gone, a whole week before the U.S. To me, the whole daylight savings system just creates unneeded stress. People late for work (it happens every year) across every industry, shipping logistics become a pain, those working the night shift when it happens to get treated to an entire extra hour of work. To me it just makes little sense, what do you think?

How do you deal with loneliness?

I work from home all the time. The biggest disadvantage of working remotely is live communication. I think the main thing for those who work remotely is to find their hobby and join some community. Probably loneliness in work pushed me to create Remotely. What do you think about it and how do you deal with loneliness?

How do you motivate co-founders to commit with you on an idea?

I am currently working on an idea with my team. All of us have jobs and are in different locations(same time zones). We're are struggling with productivity because only two members are fully commited on building the product. The two of us came with up with the idea and we brought two members who shared interest and the vision of the idea. The two other guys will promise to do stuff and then not deliver on them. How do you motivate them to work without being intrusive to their time. And how do you make sure they not slack?

How did you get your first 10 customers to your product?

We are all building some kind of product or business and gaining the first 10 users can be a difficult task. You not only need them as users they play a very big role as they believed in your product, but they will also provide the non-biased review about your product and that will define how you'll shape your product. So, I would be grateful to ask about the process of getting the first 10 customers. We'll learn from each other's experience and we'll appreciate other's effort and help out them who need their initial users. If you want to discuss with me personally then you can connect with me through Twitter and LinkedIn
