Thoughts?

[German @German__Muller]

Our business is failing because we didn’t talk enough to customers.

Don’t do the same

[German @German__Muller]

A thing I’m realizing we should’ve done is build in public. We spent 8 months building an app for no one to even see all the challenges and accomplishments.

Work in public, you don’t know who might see it

Is hard work and learning from your mistakes enough to make you successful?

Or is there more to it?

[German @German__Muller]

Network businesses always have an easy and a hard side of users to acquire

The supply side is usually the hard side: vendors, home owners and so on.

That’s the first problem that needs to be solved in any marketplace business

[German @German__Muller]

Please research your market in depth before starting to work on your project

[German @German__Muller]

Are we just god awful at sales or are gyms actually hard to sell to cuz of their low margins?

[German @German__Muller]

At the same time many companies go bankrupt, who remembers Lehman Brothers?

[German @German__Muller]

Biggest companies are made during periods of massive change / turbulence in the world. Think the start of the internet, covid and so on.

[German @German__Muller]

Ye I thinks it’s wraps for our first startup GymPoint. You don’t understand how much confidence we initially had 😭

If you’re ever starting your own marketplace / network business please read the book “The cold start problem”. It will save you from running into so many problems we did😭

Should I start thinking that my email is broken if 20 student societies haven’t replied to me for over a month?
