Founder & Investor

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

Every input feels like progress.

None of them can tell you if someone will pay.

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

You've spent years collecting information.

What you need now is evidence.

Stop collecting. Start testing. Comment EVIDENCE

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

You don't have an idea problem.
You have an input problem.

More courses. More YouTube. More ChatGPT. More planning.

Still no customers.

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

#2: 730 hours a year. 18 full-time work weeks. Enough to find the customer, test the offer, and be paid for it by now.
#3: You're not short on time. You're short on evidence that spending it would be worth it.
Four days. One hour a night. Find out if it's real. Comment PROOF.

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

You already have the time. You spent it last night

#1: Two hours. YouTube, Skool, TikTok, Netflix. Not lazy, Just tired. It's the only part of the day nobody wants anything from you

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

#3 : Most of them won't.
The market floods with products nobody asked for, and attention gets more expensive every month.
The winners won't be the best builders.
They'll be the ones who knew what people would pay for before they built it.

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

The next 3 years will be chaos.

#1 : AI made building software almost free.
One person now ships what took a team a year.
#2 : Which means your idea gets built.
The only question is by whom, and whether they bothered to check if anyone wanted it.

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

Lie 3: "I'll know when I'm ready."

Nobody feels ready to ask strangers for money. Readiness comes after real conversations with real customers.

The first customer changes everything.
Stop guessing. Get your first customer.

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

Lie 2: "I should build it first."

Building has never been easier. The hard part is not building. The hard part is getting someone to pay.

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

Lie 1: "I need more experience before I start."

You have spent years solving problems and shipping products for someone else's business. Experience is not what is missing. You have never asked the market to pay for your own idea.

Should you go to startup events? Worth it? or time sucks, salesy crowds, dull programs, - watch here https://t.co/fkQ8pFYFMQ

[Vaclav Gregor @VaclavGregor]

@adeoressi There needs to be barriers of entry, retail is so greatly financially uneducated that they cannot be allowed to freely invest in anything coming their way. Agreed to risk is a must.
