I'm a delusional 16 yrs old high schooler who wants to build a tech-startup in the future.
Well, you heard that right.
I'm a current high school junior who discovered a passion for both tech and entrepreneurship over the summer. I just love how entrepreneurship involves risk-taking and the fact that I get to develop a product or a service that can improve the lives of thousands of people. Tech is just fascinating, and I developed an interest in it through AI.
I really want to build things on my own, I mean, I know there is stuff like vibe coding which can be good, but I do feel like completing a project on your own can be meaningful, especially with users, you know that your effort is paying off, where users are being benefited of.
I want to build a meaningful project to start my journey in a start-up before I graduate. So I have roughly a year and a half (maybe a year) to complete a project.
The thing is... I don't know how to code, so I am trying to learn while building. I want to establish meaningful relationships and step outside the box for once, so I'm trying to build in public and document my journey either every day or every week (every week, I suppose) in platforms such as Producthunt, X, or even Reddit (I posted something like this on Reddit and I got downvoted a lot so maybe a no).
Follow me through this journey as I try to build and scale, and get some users in the next 365 days.
I have some rules too in this challenge:
No quitting
Post something to document; weekly progress checks
By the end of the challenge, I must have a tangible output (or would already have).
Any advice or tips would be appreciated, and this community is so lovely and which inspired me to join it today.
