24 years old, Made My First $1000+ from Pre-sales!

I embarked on a new venture three months ago, at the age of 24.

mindgenie.co is an AI-based task scheduling software, was born out of my desire to make a difference.

This was my third time throwing my hat in the ring of entrepreneurship.

Success was elusive in the beginning. But, as they say, third time's the charm. For the first time, I started earning from an online venture.

It felt surreal when my project started generating revenue. The tally? Over $1,000 in pre-sales!

This accomplishment was not just about the money - it was my ticket to boost and elevate MindGenie. The finances helped me to validate my concept and also find a partner to expand the business.

As if things were not incredible enough, I received an offer from a major investment firm in the U.S., which was just the icing on the cake.

There have been peaks and troughs along the way - inevitable components of any entrepreneur's journey. However, the interactions with our customers who see real value in MindGenie, have been overwhelmingly motivating.

The sense of accomplishment is profound. It's not just about starting business, it's about creating something of value.

To all the dreamers and doers out there, keep chasing your goals. Stay the course, even if the road is rocky. Embrace the journey, learn from it and know that success often comes to those who are too busy looking for it.

Feel free to give feedback about my project. We grow by lifting each other. Let's learn and make progress together!

    This is great! Mind if I ask you how what channels worked for you in generating your pre-sales revenue? We want to launch a feature and want to validate it with pre-sales. But not sure where to launch

    1. 1

      Hacker news, reddit and twitter was my main channels to promote. I think you can launch your product in r/sideproject or r/microsaas. These two has beautiful peoples

    Looks very nice! I think that it is a very good idea to make use of AI in everyday tasks like this. Congratulations! Is there any free plan to see how it works in real life?
