I recently reached out to Niket Raj Dwivedi, Founder of Medial, for some startup advice on building SortedBrain. They recently raised $120k for their startup. One of the things I love about the #startup and #tech community is how willing successful entrepreneurs are to help like-minded individuals. Here are the questions I asked him, along with his insightful answers that gave me a #SortedBrain and streamlined my roadmap for the next quarter: 1. What should I focus on while developing the MVP? Should I keep pushing features or build one full set of features and push them all together? How do I get my first set of users? - People nowadays are app-conscious. - They don't like crappy apps. - It's better to launch with a full set of features, so users donโ€™t leave thinking the app is broken. Medial started out as a news aggregator for startups, which gave people a reason to join the app. -Reach out to people and talk to them! (Continued below)

2. What should be my top priority while building the app? - Focus on traction and retention. - For SortedBrain, personalized notifications about users' goals could make them return to the app. - Create a mechanism where one user can invite multiple others to the platform. 3. Should I focus on acquiring more users first or acquiring paid users? - This is something to figure out along the way. - Some features Indian users wonโ€™t pay for, but donโ€™t be disappointedโ€”try other countries, they might pay. - Talk, get feedback, iterate. 4. How should I think about making money? - Have multiple business models. Medial has multiple income streams, not relying on just one. 5. What about team building? - A good team is crucial. - At Medial, their strategy was to bring in core people for each specific domain and share equity with them. This is the foundation for a long-term game. 6. Raising investment? - Build a POC (proof of concept) and show traction.

Are you all interested in an app which has debatable topics generated by people and people put their argument out? This would be an app with no filter. Suggest features that can be added.
