Advice for your profile

Focus on shipping fast MVPs and solving your own problems. Building in public attracts early adopters. Most projects fail - launch many and double down on what works.

$0 Budget Strategies

Leverage free development tools

Use Vercel, Railway, Supabase free tiers, open source frameworks

Pieter Levels built Nomad List with essentially $0 using free hosting and tools

Build in public for free marketing

Use Twitter, communities, Product Hunt for distribution instead of paid ads

Tony Dinh gained audience through Twitter before launching TypingMind

Start with MVP/concierge service

Validate manually before building, use spreadsheets and manual processes

Arvid Kahl started FeedbackPanda solving partner's direct problem

Use existing platforms

Build Chrome extensions, mobile apps using platform stores

Recommended Starting Budget

Diminishing returns after $1K

Founders spending $0-1K averaged 156-247 days to revenue. Those spending $2K+ didn't significantly improve time-to-revenue

AI and mobile apps benefit from modest investment ($1-2K) due to API and platform requirements
