My challenge: Turn a side project into a startup from scratch 🚀

I am employed during the day, and I create side projects at night.

I love my job, and I don't want to leave it (for the moment), and I especially like creating side projects.

😭Failures are my successes

I had 99% of failures with :

  • Ecommerce website
  • Dropshipping
  • A mobile application
    ....

Thanks to these failures, I understood 2 things.

  1. it's useless to spend money on advertising
  2. you have to create a community before building something

😎My underestimated skill

The luck I have is that I don't know how to code, so I use no-code tools, and I don't spend much time building them.

💰My last project worked

I created The Garage Studio, a newsletter where I share validated ideas and detailed reports to build those ideas.

This project has generated me 2000$ for the moment.

🚀My next side project, my challenge

I want to prove that it is possible to turn a side project into a startup.
I call a startup a profitable project that would allow living properly without a salaried job.

🧱What I will build

I will build a platform that will connect the mentor and mentee.

Why do I want to do this?
Because since I started on Twitter (6 months ago), I have learned more from the exchanges I have with makers than during my last 10 years.

So there are people who are willing to help others reach their goals and progress.

🎓What I will learn

I will learn how to use bubble to build this platform.

😭And if it goes wrong.

If it goes wrong and I don't turn this project into a startup. I will have acquired a complementary skill and could become a Bubble freelancer.

I share the progress of this project in this Twitter thread.

Right now, I'm taking feedback from mentor and mentee to know the 3 main features I need to develop.

🤙See you soon on Mentowr, Twitter, or in real life
