Feeling stuck selling our product, not sure what to try next
MARKETINGHi all, In the last year we launched our first product and business called According to Aegle (According to Aegle). We sell a skincream that combines retinol and niacinamide, products that are often sold seperately and for a rediculous price tag. We genuinely believe our product is of a very...- steel-potato

Finally have our MVP: now what???? Help please
MARKETINGThe cost of the gabiso, signage, printing, weights to hold down the gabiso, insurance (required), and all the other little shit we would need would come to that cost. The price of the market itself is not high, but getting a shopfront going is.- steel-potato

Finally have our MVP: now what???? Help please
MARKETINGHey... I'm a part of a bootstrapping skincare startup and we've spent the last year developing a proprietary product and we're finally ready to launch. We've got the recipe, the labels, the jars, the packaging, the ABN... almost everything set up. But we're unsure what the best place is to start...- steel-potato

Flying Into The Wind
MINDSETWhen I was your age I was quite similar. Always had older friends, and i think they enjoyed my youthful company. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, and you can learn a lot from older people. That being said I would say that at 19 it's easy to have big dreams, but not easy to follow...- steel-potato

My co-founders suck and I don't know what to do
PEOPLEHmmm sounds like you have some similar experiences. Recently I tried delegating tasks and they all managed to get it done, even though it was just a small job each. One of my brothers said that I am the natural leader and should just delegate a lot more. I was thinking I can start turning up the...- steel-potato

PEOPLEI was the latter. I was like "I'm working on this business" and then my brother being like "oh can I help". And the product evolved quite a lot since then. So it's not like I had this crazy golden ticket idea that came 100% from me- steel-potato

My co-founders suck and I don't know what to do
PEOPLEMy gosh... I did not think I'd get a reply from the man himself!! Nothing at all so far. Every time I've brought it up and suggested talking about equity and stuff things get heated very quickly. Fair enough, every one wants to take as much as they can get, so it won't be easy. NTB, we haven't...- steel-potato

PEOPLESo I recently started my first business in the cosmetics industry. I come from a web-design, product design and graphic design background. So when I told my 2 brothers about my idea, they immediately wanted to be a part of it and were very enthusiastic to begin with. One of them always helps me...- steel-potato

Should I raise Capital or teach myself product development
SCALINGThanks for the response. Good point re: equity. My gut is telling me to keep learning it on the side for a while, at least until I have something rudimentary up and running, which will hopefully validate that this is something that can work. Can think of investment again then. Cheers- steel-potato

Should I raise Capital or teach myself product development
SCALINGThank you for the resource! I've bookmarked it and will be using it in the future. Good point too that no one can tell me the right answer here. Hopefully I will gain some more insights though from someone who has perhaps been in a similar positon. Cheers, E- steel-potato

Should I raise Capital or teach myself product development
SCALINGI already know HTML, CSS, and the basics of JS. But the business I am building will require a more complex backend such as React and Tailwind CSS. I currently work as a product designer for a reputable agency, so am confident in my ability to design the damn thing. But I am not a full-stack...- steel-potato
