Knee-deep in shopping startup π€π»
π I'm Marie β founder, Stockholm-based, online shopaholic π
Spent years copywriting for retail and e-com brands β basically convincing people to buy things π Then I got so frustrated with my own online shopping experience that I decided to build the thing I wished existed.Β
Now I'm knee-deep in startup life with no one approving my briefs anymore, which is both freeing and terrifyingβ¦ π
Coming from the agency world into building your own product is a wild shift, to say the least. π I'd love to know if anyone else here has made a similar jump? If yes:
Did you find your industry background a superpower, or did you have to unlearn a lot?
Would be fun to connect with other founders here, especially anyone who's navigated the early days of a consumer product / web app / browser extension. π
Always happy to swap notes on what's working (and what's not).
Stay kind! π

Neat to see someone diving into building a consumer web app after agency life! Browser extensions can be a game changer. If you're up for it, I'm launching on PH soon...would appreciate a follow (See "PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH" Link in my profile).
