[Paul Graham @paulg]

The biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders is AI. But the most underpriced opportunity is probably non-AI ideas. So if you have a good non-AI idea, go for it, because everyone else is going to overlook it.

[tobi lutke @tobi]

The most AI proof job in the world is entrepreneurship

Use it to make products and services. Build more companies. On Shopify or otherwise.

[Alexander Hupfer @alexanderhupfer]

Shopify app devs with multiple apps have an unfair advantage.

They can cross-promote. App A shows App B. App B shows App A.

Free installs. Warm audience. Zero ad spend.

Solo devs with one app? Left out completely.

Been thinking about how to fix this.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

If you're a small business owner, you have to advertise more. Period.
No one knows you exist - which is why you're not making as much as you want.

If you're not reaching out to people or making content or reaching out to people who respond to your content... you're wasting your time..

The fight you're having right now is against irrelevance.

[Alexander Hupfer @alexanderhupfer]

If you're building a Shopify app, read this:

50.9% of categories are low concentration (no dominant player)
Only 20% are monopolized

Competitive categories offer better entry prospects than "gaps in the market."

The crowded market with 10 mediocre apps beats the empty market with one great one.

[Arifur Rahman Naim @arnaimbd]

We’ve seen founders launch LTD too early and then struggle with infra costs, support, and expectations.

We’ve also seen country-wise pricing done really well, Bordio is a good example.

[Arifur Rahman Naim @arnaimbd]

Here’s how we usually build SaaS dev teams by stage:

* MVP → PM, Full-stack, UI/UX
* Growth-Stage → PM, BE, FE, QA, DevOps
* Enterprise → TL, BE, FE, QA, DevOps, Infra

Start lean. Add specialization as you grow.

[Arifur Rahman Naim @arnaimbd]

Building is just step one, distribution, positioning, and persistence are what turn a product into a business.

[Arifur Rahman Naim @arnaimbd]

Experienced founders test demand first. If it sells before it's built, you're onto something.

[Arifur Rahman Naim @arnaimbd]

Even the best-built product won’t matter if no one knows it exists.

After launch, marketing is everything and if founders don’t budget for it, that usually decides how the story ends.

[Arifur Rahman Naim @arnaimbd]

Showing up every day and surviving long enough to catch the right wave is a real skill now.

For most founders, it takes a few mistakes before we really get how the game works.

[Arifur Rahman Naim @arnaimbd]

We thought enterprise AI adoption would move fast. It didn’t.

Plenty of interest. Some R&D. But most are still in the explore phase.

Big orgs move slow for a reason. Scale needs caution.
