The platform isn't clear, as I visited the platform. Only the FAQ provides adequate information about your platform, which isn't enough.

You must convey and deliver you you are, and why we should consider you in first place. You can write as:- A safe wealth management and optimization space, custom tailored on geographics, demographics, income, areas of expertise....., controlled and utilized by yourself, in guidance from experienced professionals and custom solution or something similar.

And if you're successful with conveying, let that to be tested by alpha or beta users, give the beta access to the HN community or targeted users so that they can feel the difference. You've mentioned the alpha results, but if I haven't seen or someone haven't seen and have access, we can't provide specific POV on core product and features.

We're currently using our own money and funds for it, so we can't pay you until pre-seed or revenue generated. At least 5 months needed to pay you adequate.

A collaboration space but for formation, clarity, focused on non-technical aspects of business in presence of technical individuals and investors.

Similar to product hunt, but for early stage, focusing on zero to one stage, from idea to iteration and PMF only.

Can't hire, but we're working on a resource sharing space. We can talk on either equity or contribution whichever you prefer.

I think you need some business development individual, with non-technical background.

Until freemium, you can get users, and make it viable product, but it depends upon your interaction and how you utilize the users. As per the information you'd provided, the idea seems validated. Can you share some insights? Like engagement rate? Level and communication topics, including feedback and response and suggestions from early users.

It depends upon your goals and projects proficiency to solve real world problem.

Try to make sure it's viable product. If it's, people will pay you, or willing to.

Leave it for free, for some period for Marketing, promotion and testing.

Kindly work on business development too. There is not a expected info available regarding what we're getting.

Some demo videos, or insight will be enough.

How you expect people to pay to review your project?

You're missing something, and that's business development. Get a non-technical team member to work along.

You have to provide more data on it. There must be some business development individual in the team.

Whoever you're, and whenever you're getting the information, you're Miss something.

From a business development manager point of view, it's horrible experience. Nobody will pay for you, when you can't assure them it's worth it.

There's just a 5 message limit in free plan. How can a man decide whether it's worth it just by 5 text. There are hundreds out there.

The finest thing in startups is sales and viable product. I haven't explored it fully, as I won't pay to check someone product, but to stand out, you need to think business development differently.

For word of mouth, or initial growth, you have to showcase what's the USP you're providing, along with some proof. And users are the best proofs that you can showcase.

If you wanna make just some thousands, then it may work. For a successful startup, it's off track.

As a marketing and business development point of view, when launching, make sure it's worth to pay and persuade individuals for it. I suggest you to try ways for words of mouth marketing through effective initiation. A month without revenue is worth if it's worth the Market penetration.

I joined for the wait-list but I didn't got any email. Also, make sure users can contact you too. There's no contact options.

Sales is above everything, and it needs some assurance to users to make sales.

Sorry for the loss and deep condolences brother. I wish I had the answer, but these will definitely help.

As far as I know, try to take a shower in the morning, as soon as you wake up. Try walking with barefoot, and cry at least 5/10 minutes a day with tears. And try to be busy, and communicate with loved ones. Cry as long as you can, and tear those emotions until there are enough remaining for future, as memories.

Also, after a month and so, try to stop crying and keep the emotions within you. It's said crying helps us to feel better but we loose those emotions. And the emotions related to your father are very important for your behavior and your time with your child.

Sales is the thing that matters on the product, to get the return and I'm ready for sales. I can manage sales, and business development, along with operations.

If I tried to get hands on everything, I'll end up with nothing.

Regarding making money, it depends upon the previous experience. If there are repetitive users and customers, then you can make money out of it scaling. Or you can use it as surrogate marketing for other products, either partnering with someone or complementing it.

And the things depends upon your communication and negotiation skills. If you're proficient in it, you may able to sell it for some amount after some efforts, but some space around your product is must.

I've worked as immigration counselor, and marketing executive and currently tutorial students just for living.

But the things is I'm more research oriented before taking action on something.

I don't wanna learn coding. I'm good at management, presentation, communication, negotiation and debate. It's 'cause of the fear that I might end up as jack of trades, neither professional on technical nor non-technical.

Founder market fit, actually a co-founder matching platform, with integrated PMF and projects on it. For high school grads and individuals, understanding asian market sentiment.

The data, insights and information from the platform will be highly valuable for VCs and investors.

Our priority is on PMF, providing a roof for investors, entrepreneurs and startups.

I'm looking for a partner, co-founder to work on it. And the condition is I can't pay now, but as soon as we raise funds, or sell after some thousands users ( within a year), I'll pay half of it.

I'm trying to develop it. It's a emerging market in Asia, and there are 4 startups trying to enter.

It's a product, which will be free until they start revenue. A one stop solution for startups and founders on finding out product market fit and founder market fit.

I'm actually cold blooded, with no actions until research and insights to support the work. I choose a path to be in finance, and law, developing good communication and presentation skills. Actually, fluent on communication and management skills.

And I'm afraid of being on two boats, neither technical, nor non-technical. As of now, I'm good at research only.
