I partially agree with this. In most cases, a community does not transition to another platform. For example Bluelearn failed the moment they tried to shift their community from discord to their own app. Any networking or social media play has to be built on-app from day 1 or else the transition doesn't really happen. One way communication or usecase apps might still be able to do this (Inshorts) and even transactional models can do this for example taking orders on a whatsapp group.

Do you believe in fake it until you make it

Zepto started as whatsapp group during lockdown

Correct ✅

It depends on business to business some businesses like service based require a platform for booking system

The focus is the customer and the product being accessable to customer. Everything else is secondary

Very true. Building community for your product and service is what it's needed to get a good start. Also I have observed that getting all the fancy and technical stuff on day one may sometimes seem surreal to the audience.

Bulid an audience before you build a business ✌️

This approach works well for tech startups and local ventures, but it may not be as effective in the international market. There, having a professional website or platform from the outset is essential to build trust and attract global customers. In international markets, credibility and quality hold much greater importance, so without a strong presence, you won’t be able to establish your brand. Different business models require different approaches while building a community first may work for local or tech-based ventures, a solid foundation is crucial in the international market.
