Another Failed Startup Lessons Learned in the B2C Space

Another Failed Startup Lessons Learned in the B2C Space

  1. Start by solving a problem with a well-defined customer first
  2. Don't rebuild what already exists
  3. Don't spend time budget-gaming ec2 instance types
  4. Publish a site that allows signups immediately (before anything else gets built)
  5. Buy a simple web app package that bundles a ton of pages for example: http://lit-coast-9918.herokuapp.com/react12/index.html
  6. Focus on just one customer type and just one problem (KISS)
  7. Engage 100 journalists 2 months before you launch (muck rack / pressfriendly.com and or pay someone to do it). Figure out and pitch the story to them before you reach out to them.
  8. Use fiverr and pay a bunch of bloggers/copywriters to publish and blog a ton of stuff and budget it for at least 6 months
