Picking apart why startups win and lose. Writing what I wish I'd read earlier.

I hate it when call centers don’t have the option to schedule a call back. @NationsTrustLK am I supposed to be on hold forever.

After buying #HSBC they seem to have forgotten their old customer 🥲

@Thaveeeeee Woah this is dopeee

[Rumeth Dasanayake @itsrumeth]

Every founder knows what distribution is.

Almost none actually have it.

Because knowing the concept ≠ building the thing.

It's a relationship. Built before you need it.

Start earlier than feels necessary.

Most founders confuse having channels with having distribution.

Instagram, LinkedIn, Your email list are channels.

Distribution is the audience that already wants to hear from you before you say anything.

This is probably one of the best features. Now I don’t have to spend time “training the algorithm”

@rxhit05 This is such a tough one. I would pick network. I think if you have a good network you can get easy access to funding, open doors and get introduced to dif audiences, and also get valuable feedback for product from actual customers. Then its upto you to be consistent ig

Hey folks! super excited to be a part of this community. For the past couple of years, I've been solely focused on growing on LinkedIn, and I realized that's great. This year, I'm focused on YouTube, X and short form.

So I'm excited to share my journey and learn from the best!

Had a great chat with a YouTube expert yesterday.

Once piece of advice resonated with me, and I thought of sharing it with you. They told me that I should narrow down my ICP as much as possible and create a near-perfect avatar.

Doing this has a couple of benefits.

Since I'm starting off YT is tryna figure out who my content is for. So if the initial videos are sorta broad and all over the place, the algorithm doesn't pick up on em.

So this made me rethink my upcoming content as well. I already shot 5 videos, so for the next ones I'm using I will be implementing this.

I'm lowkey excited to do a 1-hour-long in-depth style video. Will share more updates in the coming days😎

What about you? What content channel are you focusing on these days?

@Ovini_Nishadi Letsgoooo🥳🥳

[Rumeth Dasanayake @itsrumeth]

@rcmisk Personally I think someone should start talking and pitching to customers since the ideation stage. That way once you are ready to launch your customers are already waiting

[Rumeth Dasanayake @itsrumeth]

@aryanlabde Lack of PMF and distribution
