StratupAI Idea: Crowdfunding Platform for Personal Projects

Welcome to this week's edition, I hope you find something useful.

Before we get started, I wanted to share an idea, to gauge interest and demand with you. That is, a monthly subscription software development service (using the language Python).

This is a new idea for me, but I think it might involve focusing on startups, which fits this audience. It would essentially involve a flat monthly rate (though possibly 2-3 tiers).

Here is a survey if you’re interested, where you can opt to be added to a wait-list and provide feedback or your information about your needs.

Takeaways from YC’s How to Talk to Users

One of the most important aspects of doing a startup, according to YC, is talking to customers. Here are some key points from the YC video, How to talk to users.

Questions include how the potential customers does a certain thing, asking them whats hard about it and why.

Furthermore they recommend asking about the frequency they do this activity, and the relevance of this activity within the broader context.

“Difficulty in securing funding for personal projects or initiatives is a common frustration for many individuals and small businesses. Traditional funding sources like banks or venture capitalists may have stringent requirements or be inaccessible to certain demographics. A potential startup idea could be a crowdfunding platform that focuses on connecting individuals and small businesses with supporters who are passionate about their projects. This platform could offer a user-friendly interface, provide transparency on where the funds are going, and create a sense of community among backers.”
