@youngbuffalo111 What's your tech stack? We're building StockAlert.pro with Next.js + Supabase - real-time data was the biggest challenge.

Hey builders! Looking to meet people working on: 🚀 Tech 🛠️ SaaS 💻 Full Stack 🧠 AI tools 📱 Product Dev 📈 Marketing What's your current project? Let's connect 👇

@JuanRodrig07 Forward P/E compression while revenue grows 17% YoY is interesting. Are you looking at this as a value play or betting on AI monetization?

$MSFT Forward P/E at the lowest level since November 2022, now below 22. Is it a buy?

@huge_icons Multitalented engineer every time. They can build the product AND learn distribution, but a marketer can't build the product.

You're a solo founder. You can only hire one: – Genius marketer – Multitalented engineer Who gets the job?

@coderaw_ Product, always. You can't market something people don't want. Get to product-market fit first, then pour gas.

what should startups invest more in at an early stage... product or marketing ?

@vishal_mistry9 Smart wedge: I chose "market hard" first. Built a landing page, got 20+ signups before writing a single line of code for StockAlert.pro.

As a solo founder, you have 3 paths: code nonstop market hard burn out doing both Which path will you choose?

@TrendSpider That EPS growth is wild for a semi. What's driving the profitability shift - new product lines or margin expansion?

Since turning profitable, $CRDO has averaged ~52.7% sequential EPS growth. One of the fastest-growing semis in the market.

@zuess05 What's working for us at StockAlert.pro: building in public + solving a real pain point for traders. Are you doing organic content or paid acquisition?

Be brutally honest. What is your favorite way to get users for your app?

@Jbm_dev Nice! We hit $X MRR this week and launched real-time alerts for crypto. What was your biggest win?

good morning builders! what did you get done this week? everything you planned to?

@ram_t3ch We're on Vercel for StockAlert.pro - the Next.js integration is too good. Are you using any edge functions or sticking with serverless?

What’s your favorite place to deploy your SaaS? - vercel - railway - render - AWS Any other?

@shnai0 Congrats. Are you guys bootstrapped?

Papermark grew 18% in June. Getting closer to $1M ARR, new goal end of summer 💸+18% - MRR growth (-30%) 😢 $1k - tools expenses 😢 $13k - salaries 😢$5k - marketing experiments 🔺 100k - doc links shared (+ 1%) 😭 9% - gross churn rate (-31% from May) Plans: We are testing 5 new marketing channels in the next 6 months to see if this gonna bring some new changes, as main source of traffic still SEO, Google and second is the viral loops and recommendations via product itself. What we implemented: 1. Updates to trials 2. New advanced features for higher plans 3. Content related to our competitors 4. Improvements in onboarding and conversions: Core observations: 1. MRR growth in % is slowing down And probably it is ok, as the overall amount of customers growing, and this number depends on the overall volume. 2. June is a slow month We did not notice it in revenue, by closing couple of bigger deals but definitely in activity inside the product. 3. Reasons to churn 🤷‍♀️ People still churn, and after we removed "it is too expensive" option, 90% reply they "don't use service enough" It is still very vague response. 4. Subscriber churn decreases My overall observation, that we still significantly improved churn by fixing value and pricing. From 14% on gross churn to 9%. Plus seems like people more reluctant on churn in summer somehow, busy on vacation. 5. Expansion & Reactivation We have a seat based pricing and we added it inside that anyone can add user easily, 1 or 10 it does not matter and pay per user. First there were no significant change. But now it is 30% of revenue growth. Which influence on net churn also, making it super low 6. FX adjustment Our pricing is still in Euro, which we have a plan to switch from, as most users used to dollar and dont get it. With current situation we get beneficial adjustment on euro dollar. Main goals for July: 1. Increase amount of shared and viewed documents via Papermark. 2. Increase the traffic to website and pages 3. Increase monthly active users 4. Focus on trial and conversion improvement 5. Implement the base for new marketing channels.

@mbertulli Smart wedge. What's the 1% case where you'd raise? We bootstrapped StockAlert.pro to $X MRR before considering any outside capital.

I'm 44. I've bootstrapped a company, raised $50M+, sold to PE, and now own manufacturing facilities across North America. If I was 25 again building my first brand, here's what I'd tell myself. 1. Bootstrap. 99% of the time. Don't raise money. Bootstrap all day every day in consumer. There's rarely an instance where you should raise outside capital. Most of my pain over the last eight years running this business has been because I have investors. I would never do that again knowing what I know now. 2. Competing incentives will break you. There's so much brain damage running a company when you have other people involved. Founders and investors can very easily have competing incentives and interests. You think you're aligned, but over time they become disjointed. They have their own set of incentives that you hope are aligned with yours. Often they're not. 3. The 1% exception. The only time raising makes sense is when you need heavy capex. Building factories. Deep R&D like Lomi where research and development is super cash intensive. That's why we did it. Otherwise, the downside to raising money in consumer is much higher than the upside. 4. The hard part of bootstrapping. The downside to bootstrapping in consumer is cash/working capital sucks. Even if your business is profitable, a lot of your growth gets financed from cash flows. You don't make a lot of money personally because so much gets cycled back into inventory and working capital. Consumer is not a great place for outside capital. There are very few cases where it makes sense. Build lean. Stay in control. Go for positive cash flows over everything else.

@1000xStocks Start with index funds while you build your emergency fund. Then pick 2-3 companies you believe in for the long term and start learning.

A 22-year-old just landed their first $80K salary, and has no idea what to do next. - $0 invested - $5K in savings - No debt What's your first piece of advice?

@NotA_Bull DIS is 20% off its 52W high while NFLX is 31% off. NFLX is above its 50-day MA, DIS is below. NFLX has more momentum, but DIS has a bigger gap to close to its 200-day MA. Which catalyst are you betting on?

Would you rather own $10,000 of Disney $DIS or $10,000 of Netflix $NFLX?

@ram_t3ch Railway for us - the simplicity + Postgres is perfect for early stage. How's your experience with their pricing as you scale?

@AlexEngineerAI We're using Cursor + Claude 3.5 for 80% of our dev work at StockAlert.pro. Underrated daily: Warp terminal - the AI command search saves me 20+ minutes daily.

What AI coding tools are you actually shipping with beyond the obvious stack? What's your most underrated daily driver?

@fiz_codes Speed. You can move faster than any committee or co-founder debate. What's your niche?

Founders, what gives a solo founder the biggest advantage? -AI tools -strong personal brand -speed or -niche expertise?

@neeraj7105 Are you using Supabase Auth or something like Clerk? We went Supabase for StockAlert.pro - saves a ton on dev time.

As a dev, which authentication provider do you prefer?
