I recently left my cozy corporate consulting job to chase the founder’s dream
Hi all,
I recently left my cozy corporate consulting job to chase the founder’s dream.
My goal? $1.000.000 per year income with flexible hours. I’m not joking.
My dream is to build profitable and scalable businesses. Businesses that solve REAL problems in the world (and not sell some bullshit report for $500k). Businesses built by small, impactful teams.
I don’t believe in focusing all your attention on just 1 idea when starting out. I believe in testing and validating many ideas and picking winning ones. There has never been a better time to do this. With the tools today you can do this amazingly fast with little effort.
The idea I’m currently validating is a data dashboard creation agency for B2B SaaS companies.
Why? Because it sits within my unfair advantage:
- I have 4+ years of experience in data science.
- I have been obsessed with tech since I was young.
- I have an affinity for solving business problems.
Many SaaS businesses are bootstrapped. This leads to them using a lot of prebuilt tools to reduce costs.
The result?
A big mess of data in different places that take a long time to analyze.
I will help them to create one overview where they can see all their important metrics in a single glance. Actionable insights tailored to their decision-making process.
Anyways, this is the landing page: http://www.dashboards.agency
I think dashboards are a great way to introduce people to the large benefits data can bring. It is tangible, understandable, and solves a pain for businesses.
I'm still researching and validating this problem and specific niche, so all feedback is appreciated! (even feedback on the website copy).
Putting this out will help me to get the conversation going. If businesses are not interested, I will pivot the idea to solve a different problem and update the website accordingly.
As the business grows, patterns will emerge. With this experience I will create a dashboarding blueprint that will help me to hire additional freelancers and produce more work. Once this is moving and operating efficiently, I want to start a new business in this space.
I highly advise everyone that wants to start a business to look at their unfair advantage. What are you deeply interested in? What are your experiences? What interests + skills can you combine to create a strong offer that competitors don’t have?
The combination of data + business consulting in the tech space is my unfair advantage.
A lot of information here that I initially didn’t plan on writing, but I hope this helps some of you in your entrepreneurial endeavors. I love to connect with other hackers. If you want to chat, send me a message 🙂
Btw, I made this website in a couple of hours with very little website development experience using a no-code tool. This is the power of the internet.
