We’re not “Doing a Startup”.
How to cut through the hype and build your side project into a profitable business.
You would love to launch your own product business but you have a nice life, a family, a mortgage and don’t want to buy into putting it all on the line chasing some startup dream. This presentation is about the practical steps you need to take to get from here to launch. Including:
- which ideas are worth pursuing as a time-limited, cash-limited bootstrapper
- how to distinguish between advice applicable to the bootstrapped business, and that which should be consigned to the “have money to burn” brigade
- practical tips to stop procrastination and get a product to launch
- how to juggle full time or freelance work with your product
- how to build an audience and spread the word when you have no money to pay for customer acquisition
