haha that's amazing, funny how some things come so easily when you don't expect them and other are incredibely hard despite all your efforts!

Done, we broke the coffee machine but could make it on time, I was surprised that we were the only hardware project, you can check the proto here: http://ph.frigrow.com/ feedback appreciated!

Mine is super low-tech... my paper notebook , why? never runs out of battery 😁

It all depends what this 20K represent in your total liquidity

Yes but can be a costly solution, you should target micro influencers and build an affiliate program for them, they will be all in

Daily running or workout, I find it helpful to balance mental exhaustion with physical one, and give yourself periodical short escapes go doing what you love for the weekend and don't do anything related to your business

1 week is too short except if you have other accounts (or contacts) with huge communities in you niche to promote your account, I do agree with all the strategies given by the guys above but keep in mind that if you are starting from 0 giveaways won't bring that much people and it's not a card you'll play every day, I would say build a community of 200+ followers with @siddhesh_lokare1...

+1 for hubspot, as it's initially free you can extend it as your activity grows, otherwise with some basic tech skills you can deploy an open source solution for you own use, I would recommend odoo and dolibarr, the first got a bigger integrations portfolio

This totally depends on your vertical, your geo & audience, give me more context!

The game is sometimes dirty @repreneur , if you didn't register the brand name (which I doubt for NFT) nor he is copying your logo our design you have no leverage over this person. The only thing that you can do is: 1/ prevent your users from confusing both sites ( add a notice or a popup). 2/ Crush him on the market

@siddhesh_lokare1 for instance I just declined to take part in a funding round for a food delivery app, the model was interesting (sharing economy), so I mentored the founders, they had $15K from friend and family but no technical founder, my advice was, go and get a third member, build an MVP and come-back with initial traction... Initially, they sought $80K for 10% on a PowerPoint and no...

The ugliest part for me is falling into the wantrepreneur trap, let's face it, entrepreneurs (you guys) are the new rockstars, that was not the case when I launched my first startup 20 years ago... and I saw lately more people falling in love with the posture more than the execution. One typical example, it happened to me to meet -as a jury member- the same person, in 4 or 5 contests that...

I would go for the importance of timing, I review tens of pitch decks per year personally, and one thing I've noticed many first-time entrepreneurs falling in love with their concept/landing page, are happy that 300 subscribers jumped onboard (usually FFF :p ) then focus on growing their email list and getting media exposure than building the product and taking care of these 300 early adopters,...

Hi, you should go for a 24h format, it's universal, for instance AM/PM wont be understood by non English speakers (for instance french or arabic)

We decided to unleash our creativity with @adlene_denni having both a background in energy sector, we decided to focus on a project we've been discussing for a while, i won't say too much except : 1/ Green energy 2/ Lasting 24/7 3/ Available everywhere and for everyone 4/ Owned by the community So stay tuned and if you are interested to see the project on the market get ready to vote :)

Failing when the product doesn't find a market is easier to accept than the opposite, in the past, I had to experiment with a startup shut down due to the core team implosion, the hardest part was that we reached 500K, active users, with a 10% per week growth rate... I've learned 2 lessons: 1/ Co-found with like-minded people and aligned visions and interests. 2/ Failure doesn't kill you, it's...

Thanks Sarah for the insights, if you can help us with 2 quick questions, 1/ Do we have to submit something beyond the name + url ? 2/ Can we submit more than one project? Thanks!
