“I helped millions of students get into their dream college.”

This is my dream and my motivation to show up and work on my start up https://t.co/ZG02cmvYA0

Right now we’re at 7 users but this is just the beginning and it’s only going to get better from here.

Genuine question from a beginner:
Do you wait to get users to sign up for your waitlist before you launch?

Or

Do you launch even with no one signed up for the waitlist?

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

Personally I find posting tiktoks is the hardest part of trying to create a business 😭

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

New hero section!!
Ignore the place holder image for now im still working on making a demo video.

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

@robj3d3 I feel personally called out by this🤣

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

Goals for today:
Finish fixing bugs
Get 10 people to sign up for waitlist
Film 1 tiktok!
Today is gonna be a great day!!!!

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

@itsajinkyaraj I did, I spent time in facebook groups and forums trying to acquire users.

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

Today was a tough day.
Spent all day debugging and still have more work todo
Fixing bugs is progress even if it doesn’t feel like it.
Gonna hit it even harder tomorrow

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

@_muhammadnoor For real. I just keep telling myself it’s better I’m finding all the bugs now rather than a user when I launch.

[Ty Mitchell @tymitchell92]

@JakeTWagner It’s built with next.js and react using supabase for the backend and waitlist management.

I’m 17 and building a writing workspace made just for scholarship essays. Most students write dozens of drafts in Google Docs and still feel lost. ScholarSnag helps you organize, reuse, and rewrite—all in one place. Waitlist is open 👇

what i built today as a 17 y/o trying to launch an edtech startup:

– added essay scoring (clarity, structure, vibes, etc)
– version history + draft comparisons
– built collections to organize essays
-updated UI to be more consistent across pages
-lots and lots of debugging

this thing’s actually starting to feel real
