᠅ Founder Tip: Don’t build an app first. Do this instead… Building an app is expensive, slow, and risky—especially in the early days. Here’s what to do instead: 1. Start with a manual version Before you code anything, simulate your product with basic tools. Example: Instead of a fitness app, run a WhatsApp-based fitness group with daily plans and tracking. 2. Build a waitlist, not a dashboard Create a landing page. Collect emails. Pitch your concept. See if people actually care. 3. Use no-code or existing platforms Tools like Notion, Airtable, Glide, or even a Google Sheet can be enough to test your core value. 4. Focus on getting 10 obsessed users If 10 people don’t love what you’re doing, 1,000 won’t either. Go deep before going wide. 5. Build an app only when things start breaking When your DMs are flooded, your manual system can’t keep up, and your users beg for features—that’s when you code. Apps don’t create value. Solving real problems does. Start lean. Stay real.
