I spent 5 years and $100K to bootstrap a startup and failed. Now working on itslaunchday.com to help founders with marketing.

I'm glad I don't have VC investors for my startup.

My Product Hunt alternative is almost ready: 1. It's not a competition, it's a celebration of indie makers. 2. I recorded 20min interviews with each one to present their products. 3. There is a huge discount on every product... but only for people who share it on social media. itslaunchday.com

I only watched 3 chapters of Danny Postma's SEO course and already learned: - why the startup I spent 5 years building failed - why most of my new ideas are 💩 Humbling but necessary. Affiliate link because I’m broke www.dannypostma.com/seo-course?v...

I've started recording 15-min interviews with the 10 founders of the first LaunchDay event. It will be a celebration of indie makers, their stories and the product they're working on. (+ huge discounts for 24 hours only!) I'm super excited 🥳 itslaunchday.com

Sales completely dropped around time of US election. Seems people lost interest + got fed up with musk once and for all. Few people still trust the platform

The biggest mistake I made with my failed startup was to keep pushing because I thought: “we almost have product-market fit!” for 5 years. But after 1 year the signs were already clear that the market didn’t need us. And we should’ve moved to a different idea.

I built a startup with my wife for 5 years and burned myself badly. Now I'll never do it again. I want my relationship to be a safe space from the challenges of entrepreneurship, not a part of it.

Not great so far but still experimenting. Strill strong on X though, especially video since time spent on post matters a lot.

I’m pushing my 100K twitter followers to join BlueSky where the quality of the conversation is more important than how viral your content is.

Every startup founder needs to make that mistake at least once.

Let's see if my old startup memes can get some traction on bluesky 👀
