The Hard Truth I learnt about Bootstrapping in 2021

I never knew bootstrapping a company would be so hard. Everything is a breeze when it’s just an idea.

All hell broke loose when I registered Vade Labs Private Limited in June 2021

Being from a technical background, it was hard for me to understand the taxation system. I never knew I needed to learn the intricacies of Finance before starting a company.

I got bombarded with multiple compliances, which we need to do as a company—hired a CA firm that could help us with that.

After getting that part sorted, I started building the founding team to help me get the initial version out.

I asked my wife to look after the Finance, HR, and Operations related matters. I hired a full-stack developer and a couple of interns, asked one of my college friends to help out in product development and do things I am incapable of doing. I am so glad that they agreed; otherwise, it would have been more challenging than it already is.

Overnight my role shifted from an individual contributor to a person who needs to code, manage the team, delegate, know about the taxation system, go for clients’ meetings, keep the morale of the team-high by selling them the vision of the world where you could build an application with no-code at one unified platform, Vade Studio

After lots of discussions, feedback, design, and code pairing sessions, we realized we were too ambitious to start with. Instead, we should focus on a niche problem and grow from there.

So, after conversing with many prospective customers, we decided to focus our efforts on building a no-code platform that enables building backend applications in minutes.

Our insight is that majority of backend development involves integrating multiple data sources into a unified API interface. Our platform Vade Studio will allow users to combine various web services and databases to generate a unified API that other applications can consume automatically.

For the year 2022, that’s what we are going to work on. We plan to devote all our time developing it and launching our Private Beta by 31st March 2022. We will keep you updated with the progress we make every week.
