Hi, I bootstrapped my startup right after college and I'm not looking for the next thing. I also made a post about this here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/whats-the-best-transition-path-after-your-startup-f58afa6c75
One of my biggest takeaway from my startup was the value of a strong network, so I'd love to meet you all at some point! I can help with idea validation, product, marketing, no code, financial modeling etc.
Lastly, I just got a twitter account so I'd love to connect there too https://twitter.com/arshiagm
Share you story briefly here
Sure, I created my startup Trym after college. I validated need and addressed it, but I set out to create a startup not a lifestyle business. Startup = high growth. I've been testing different approaches to grow it to where it needs to be, but have came across some market truth that I have to acknowledge and act on.
I plan on going into the details in the future. I think I'll tweet about it at some point or post it on my website (not yet published).
Yeah let us know your journey better
I would love to chat about validation. I'm currently fighting the urge to start writing code and thinking pretty hard about how to test ideas effectively.
A book I recommend is Game Thinking. DM on twitter I'd be happy to chat
