Start here: say hello and say the real number

New? Reply to this thread, or start your own in this section. Either is fine.

Tell us:

  1. Who you are and where you are
  2. What you are building, or trying to decide whether to build
  3. Your real number. Revenue, users, waiting list, or zero
  4. One thing you are stuck on right now

Number 4 is the one that gets you replies. People here are far better at answering a specific question than at welcoming you in general, although we will do that too.

Hello. Ana, Bucharest. I am a pharmacist's daughter building stock software for small pharmacies. Real number: zero, one pilot pharmacy (my mother's). Stuck on: how do I get the second pharmacy when the first one is my mother.

Ana, I sell to physio clinics and my first customer was my own physiotherapist, so I know this exact problem. Ask your mother which other pharmacist she complains to about stock. That is your second customer. Message me if you want my script for the first call.

Samira, Casablanca. Building a booking tool for hammams and spas. Three paying customers at 15 euros a month, so real number is 45 euros. Stuck on whether to translate the app to French before or after I get to ten customers.

Localisation is my job. If your three customers already use it in the language it is in, wait. Translate when a specific buyer tells you it is the reason they will not pay. Happy to look at your strings when you get there.

Shreya, Kochi. No product yet. I am reading the old threads in order, starting from 2024, because somebody said the Lifetime Deal War was worth it. I am 40 replies in and I have opinions.
