Sorry for the lack of updates, things have been very busy lately.
Networked with some awesome SaaS entrepreneurs in my city and people in the tech area. It's way easier to build a network than I thought. Contact them, offer some value, invite them to lunch.
Went to a big digital marketing conference that lasted 2 days here. Talked with Sujan Patel there who gave me some tips on growth hacking.
Doing a bootcamp course on lean development. This is ongoing as it's 4 weeks long.
Talked with a lot of developers. Found one whom I really liked. Has launched couple of other companies, has a sense of urgency, really practical thinking.
Found another front-end developer whom I might hire for some freelancing on designing the User Interface and mapping out the User Experience of the software once.
Will probably rewrite the whole software. I've been doing it in Ruby, which is a language that is in high demand, thus Ruby developers are more expensive. Plus by choosing Ruby as a language I limit my talent pool by a lot. I understand this is a step back, but will be a better choice for the future.
Continuing to do customer development. This is one think I really love, talking to potential clients and just listening to their problems, not pitching anything. I'm learning SO much about this and building my Ideal Customer Profile so it will be easier to sell once I have a product.
Once I have 30 interviews, I will map it all out, resketch the software based on our true value proposition and then start building again.
Wrote and published a new post.
What I'm doing next:
Reaching 30 customer development interviews.
Based on this create new mockup with help of front end developer.
Build.
