4 Lessons Learned from Building a Million-Dollar Startup
Building a startup from scratch is no easy feat, but Tibo, a returning guest on the podcast, managed to grow his startup, Tweet Hunter, to a valuation of multiple millions and eventually sell it to another company. Here are five lessons learned from Tibo's journey:
1. Partnerships can be game-changers: Tibo's partnership with Twitter influencer JK Molina was a major factor in the success of Tweet Hunter. JK Molina brought a lot of value to the company, and Tibo was demanding, expecting him to deliver on his promises.
2. A great product and brand are crucial: Tibo emphasized the importance of having a great product with a strong brand. Additionally, replicating their successful Twitter strategy on LinkedIn and having a strong marketing loop helped bring in customers.
3. Building a new product can be challenging: After the success of Tweet Hunter, Tibo felt pressure to create something equally successful. The host reassured him that he had the recipe for success and could replicate it by following his intuition and putting aside the pressure to make money.
4. Freedom is important: Tibo discussed the stressors of being an indie maker, including lack of money and the pressure to succeed. Having the freedom to work on projects they enjoy can make all the difference.
Tibo's success story is a testament to the potential of indie companies to become million-dollar businesses that bring a lot of value. So, if you're thinking about starting a business, consider these lessons and take inspiration from Tibo's journey.
