Hey, aspiring entrepreneurs,
I want to take you with me on my journey from my current liquid net worth of €250K to €5M.
My DNA is entrepreneurship, it has been the one thing I have done since I was 18 besides studying Business Administration.
Why this thread?
I want to share my thoughts, my ideas and my process, hoping to get into great discussions about how to build a startup in the early stages.
Also, I do hope it helps me to pace myself and reflect on my progress.
Cheers and looking forward to your thoughts
I want to take you with me on my journey from my current liquid net worth of €250K to €5M.

- Started my first company, which did get some product market fit (10K revenue per month) but not really took off because we f*cked up too many things.
- Joined a start-up company early on, which we then proceeded to sell to a private equity company for €10M. Got a nice bonus, but I have not really made the big bugs yet.
- Now completed my MBA this year, and I wanted some time to reflect, the money was there and I wanted to build a network that I can use in the future.
- I did use the time at the MBA to teach myself how to code. Not sure this will pay off, but I was motivated and I deemed it's always better to be able to build your own product rather than to spend money paying someone else.
- Start-up company
- Investing: Mostly Crypto but also Stocks ($100K - $150K of my stack)
- Validate Problem first => Is this a real problem, who is the audience, market sizing, etc. => I want to spend more time doing initial research and user interviews validating a problem before going to the next step
- Validate Solution => Build an MVP, landing page, etc. to test if my solution is working for the problem that I validated existed.
- If nothing works out => move on
- If however see some sort of traction => double down and try to grow
