After spending 2.5 years jumping from one idea to another...

This thread is to document my startup journey. I am building a platform/marketplace and this is my first 'real business'.
From what I can see, my startup fulfils the CENTS criteria. But as we all know, things never go to plan and I will likely have to make massive adjustments along the way to keep it CENTS approved.

- Improperly validated from the customer's side (I know I'm neglecting my research, but I have decided to build the platform and iterate through real customer feedback)
- Platform MVP development commenced (hacking things together using WordPress, not ideal, but good enough for now)
I will be posting daily updates to this thread to document my journey and keep myself accountable. I give permission to anyone to slap me if I skip any days.
