I would love to get advice from other seasoned founders here: what are your best strategies or go-to tools for bootstrapping and scaling a startup effectively on a tight budget?
i use Claude code and Codex as i find them budget friendly compared to replit and other vibe coding tools. I find Claude pretty good especially if you have a clear prompt.
I personally think AI with Robotics would be the next point of interest. It would be the next natural step but both fields are still in early stages so who knows i heard open AI wants to create a super app.
This project I built using Claude after getting frustrated with getting demonetized on YouTube. It gives creators a link in bio similar to Linktree but with built-in monetization such as a custom offerwall, an online store, etc.
I do the same i would add sometimes when it gets stuck and gets things wrong i go to chatgpt to figure out the issues then go back to claude and it agrees and self correct. i have used claude to help me launch my project [https://thrivez.io].
