Two things I’m becoming more convinced of:
Take action before you feel ready.
Talk to more people.
The app is going in front of wealth management offices next. I want real feedback and beta users before I worry about making noise about it.
Build first.
I’m not a great coder, but I had an idea for a wealth management operations app, so I made the MVP anyway.
Then I kept fixing it until I had something worth showing people.
Random conversation at U of A → find out these guys code → show them the product → now we’re talking about building the backend together.
You really have no idea where talking to someone can lead.
@toobigmike I’m right here trying to learn about “altcoin season”
Do you think I should I be trading now to prepare. They’re saying bitcoin dip the other day is the start/perfect entry
If I were buying:
Sun Belt routes. High recurring mix.
Low cancel rate. Tight drive times.
Clean books. Simple tech stack.
Pest control won’t win beauty contests.
It wins with contracts and density.
If you run a shop in TX or AZ, DM me.
I’m studying the space hard.
Why I think pest control is a smart PE play
When I was 19 knocking doors, I kept hearing this line:
“Most pest control shops make it. A lot hit multi-millions.”
Anecdotal, sure. But it stuck with me.
Now the Texas angle:
Texas keeps adding people and rooftops.
30M+ population and still climbing.
Leads the country in new homebuilding.
More roofs = more routes. Simple.
Rodent and termite pressure is real in big metros.
That keeps service frequency high and churn low.
Why Founders With “Nothing” Should Build In Public
I did not grow up with a PE last name, a Stanford cap table, or a list of investors in my phone.
So if you feel like you have no connections, limited cash, and “nothing to offer” yet, this is exactly who this is for
Reverse engineer the life you want and start behaving like that person now.
You do not need to fake status.
You need to be loud about your work, honest about your process, and consistent enough that when the right person finds you, there is already something to point to.
