Lessons Learned from Building a Startup in 24 Hours

1. Starting a startup in 24 hours is very challenging! You need to do a lot of detailed planning beforehand to make sure it goes smoothly.

2. The scope of the project has to be on the smaller side. Find really quick ways to create and validate the idea.

3. You can drum up some extra interest through the hype of starting something in 24 hours. The accountability that comes is really amazing. You can make some cool connections with your viewers and they will want to root for you. One way that helped us in adding to the hype was making posts to relevant subreddits and groups online.

4. Try to figure out the hardest parts of your project first before you get too tired. Our tiredness definitely hurt us the last few hours and probably made our launch not as successful as it could have been.

5. Make sure that you have enough time to make your product solid. If I were to do it again, I would probably take five days so that I could build something more substantial and make sure all of the bugs are squashed before the product was launched.

All in all, it was really exciting to build something live in 24 hours! I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts on the idea.
