Yes.100% with that this guy said. I have a 1 man shop marketplace startup. I been at it since 2016. I have to literally figure shit out on the fly. I can't afford a full time engineering time ( i have a pay for play engineer). I pay for the platform from the sales i make. I have no goals to raise VC. I am under no illusion of raising series ABCDFU. My goal is to make sales and put food on the table for me and my family. For me, as a 1 man shop. Surviving IS Succeeding. I am very happy being a thousandaire. techCrunch will never write about me or my start up. So if you have an idea, build it and start testing. your #1 goal should be making sales / money ASAP. Thats it. Do not fall in to the trap of I have an idea i will raise funding and i will exit making billions. That is NOT reality / real world. What you read on techcrunch is not reality, those unicorns are very rare. Good lucky out there. Make sales. Charge money.
