November 19, 2022 Rejected by Y Combinator βœ…

It's another rejection but feels like a good sign to rethink our own messaging.

Here are our possible rejection points,

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ We are not thinking big!
πŸ‘‰πŸ½ We are not articulating our value & our big in a short time!
πŸ‘‰πŸ½ We are overthinking, and We should move with speed and keep applying to everything possible.

What do you folks think we should do?

    Just move on. There's a world of opportunity outside the exclusive clubs of cool kids. Who knows, you might have dodged the potential problem of being forced to grow too quickly, which can be an existential threat to your business.

    Prove 'em wrong, they're not the experts of your business - you are

    Taking a look at your website I'd argue you're not "not thinking big" - you're backend for SaaS (which is massive!) so maybe the articulation was the fault point here?

    Anyway, good luck - looks an interesting problem thesis!

    I got rejected too. It's okay, just keep growing the business, keep learning and eventually your numbers will be so good they can't reject you.

    Dont worry . I own a dev agency https://criov.com/ and was rejected too .
    We just need to grow more .

    Thank you for sharing! Also getting the rejections but taking the opportunity to adjust. I think "thinking big/big markets" is something that we get often.

November 18, 2022 #buildinginpublic

We decided to talk about our Product from Day 0.

Not to gain marketing, but to Understand the Customer's Perspective more deeply.

Some of them worked wonders & some did not.

After 18 weeks we are now shifting to a Monthly Update mode.

For our Weekly journey till our MVP.

Why are we shifting to a Monthly Update?

As our technical challenges are becoming complex, giving a weekly update is too small for the public.

October 11, 2022 Pricing Models & Product Showcases

πŸ’Έ We are deeply stuck in pricing our product. Breaking down independent modules and cohesively pricing them is not as easy as we estimated it would be.

πŸ‹πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ We don’t have a single LTV number yet. How can we solve this?

🏦 Very impressed with https://mercury.com/

✈️ We are coming to Nasscom Product Conclave 2022, Bengaluru Next week.
